Olivia Rodrigo has been accused of copying Courtney Love‘s album cover from her band, Hole. Much like Rodrigo’s album cover, Hole’s 1994 album cover for Live Through This also had a beauty queen wearing a crown and holding a bouquet with mascara running down her face.

Love posted a picture of Rodrigo’s album photo on her Instagram and added the hashtag “#twinning” in her caption.

Rodrigo responded in the comments, saying “love u and live through this [so] much.”

Love expressed her frustration on Facebook and said that “it was rude of her.”

“Stealing an original idea and not asking permission is rude. There’s no way to be elegant about it. I’m not angry. It happens all the time to me. And…really I’m very gracious or say nothing. But this was bad form…..It was rude. And I have every right to stick up for my work.”

Many fans responded to Love’s picture and said that both photos were inspired by Carrie, the 1976 horror film.
