Olivia Rodrigo faces backlash over \u201ccheap\u201d GUTS album cover Instagram: oliviarodrigoOlivia Rodrigo is facing backlash on social media after showing off a tentative cover for her upcoming album, GUTS \u2014 and fans aren\u2019t happy with the photo. It\u2019s safe to say that Olivia Rodrigo is one of the biggest new artists in the music industry. The former Disney star has made quite a name for herself thanks to her debut album, \u2018SOUR,\u2019 and even took over social media with the release of her most popular track, \u2018Driver\u2019s License,\u2019 back in 2021. Since then, fans have been anxious for Rodrigo to unleash a new album upon their ears\u2026 and in June 2023, they finally got their wish. Rodrigo unveiled the title for her sophomore album, \u2018GUTS,\u2019 in a viral Instagram post on June 26. She also penned an open letter for her listeners where she discussed the \u201cconfusion, mistakes, awkwardness, and good, old-fashioned teen angst\u201d that went into her songwriting. Fans upset by similarity between GUTS & SOUR album covers However, some fans are not here for the album\u2019s cover, with many finding it a little too similar to the cover for her debut album, SOUR. It\u2019s true \u2014 the two do look fairly similar, both showing Rodrigo posing against a purple background boasting lettering that spells out the albums\u2019 names somewhere on her person. But for more than a few listeners, this just isn\u2019t enough of a jump to show her growth as an artist. \u201cI\u2019m afraid Olivia Rodrigo did not slay with this album cover,\u201d one fan wrote on Twitter. \u201cFor an album called, \u2018GUTS,\u2019 she really did not deliver.\u201d \u201cHow does she manage to make everything look so cheap, no matter what?\u201d another wrote. \u201cI love the cover, although it\u2019s too similar to SOUR in my opinion,\u201d another said. \u201cIt could be mistaken for promo art for SOUR, lol.\u201d right. i love the cover although it\u2019s too similar to sour imo, it could be mistaken for promo art for sour lol \u2014 im.the_problem it\u2019s me (@theyheyhey) June 26, 2023 Other fans have even resorted to Photoshopping the cover themselves in order to lend a more \u2018gutsy\u2019 feel to the pic. This isn\u2019t the first time that Rodrigo has faced backlash from her fans over an album-related creative decision. In 2021, she came under fire for her SOUR merchandise, which many fans labeled \u201chideous.\u201d Rodrigo\u2019s GUTS album is set to release on September 8, 2023.
