Olivia Rodrigo was accused of overusing her own concept and the color purple for her sophomore album "GUTS."
Twitter account Pop Base released pictures of an alternative cover, which will be printed on the Target exclusive edition of the album.
It showed a picture of the "Vampire" singer lying on a bed with purple bedsheets against a wall also painted purple.
Fans took to the comments and expressed their disappointment with Rodrigo's "lack of creativity" in her album cover concepts.
"[Not gonna lie], this looks boring," one wrote.
"This is horrible," another added.
"Purple should sue her."
"Looks... Interesting."
"I'm sorry but she has no creativity when it comes to the aesthetic," another added.
Meanwhile, other netizens pointed out that Rodrigo's alternate cover is very reminiscent of Sabrina Carpenter's album cover for "Emails I Can't Send."
"This is very reminiscent of someone else's album, but I will still be streaming and buying nonetheless," one wrote.
Others noted how the color of the exclusive vinyl is purple-just like Taylor Swift's upcoming release "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

Olivia Rodrigo Comes Back With 'Vampire'
Everyone is paying close attention to Rodrigo, especially with her new album coming out, because she has to to outdo herself and the success she has received from her debut studio album "Sour."
Although it seems like the "Deja Vu" singer has an idea or two about how to do just that.
According to The Guardian, Rodrigo managed to keep the virality of her first album going with the release of her new single "Vampire."
Just like other artists today, the singer slash actress is known to write and sing songs about her life and personal experiences-especially her love life, which is why on "Vampire's" release date, fans rushed to Spotify to listen to the song and ended up crashing the website and app.

Olivia Rodrigo's "GUTS"
Rodrigo is yet to explain why she named her album "GUTS," however, many think that it might have something to do with her two-year silence following "Sour."
"For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life," she explained.
"I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20-it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change. I think that's all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully the album reflects that."
