Courtney Loveis keeping the Disney+ generation in check.
The grunge rock legend, 56, used social media to call attention to the obvious similarities between the cover art of her band Hole’s 1994 album,Live Through This, and an image forOlivia Rodrigo’s debut album,Sour, which shedropped last month.
“Spot the difference! #twinning!” Lovewroteon Twitter, quote tweeting Rodrigo’s album art.
Ellen von Unwerth photographed the now-iconic image from theLive Through Thiscover, depicting model Leilani Bishop with a bouquet and a prom queen’s tiara as mascara tears ran down her face. Rodrigo appeared to pay homage to the seminal album in a very similar photo of herself in the art for herSour Prom Concert Film.
“Since I never got to go to prom, I wanted to throw a little prom party with my fav ppl (you guys obvs),” Rodrigo, 18, wrote on Twitter, announcing the film with the image of herself serving heartbroken prom queen. She didn’t acknowledge Love or Von Unwerth.

The four-time Grammy nominee noted that Rodrigo’s label, Geffen Records, is largely responsible. “It’s on GEFFEN,” Love added. “I’ve informed [Rodrigo] I await her flowers snd [sic] note. I sure hope it’s long. Does Disney teach kids reading and writing? God knows. Let’s see. Yes this is rude. Rage inducing? Honey if I had a dollar for everyone [sic] this happens? I’d be real rich!”
Rodrigo responded to Love on Instagram, showing her love for theCelebrity Skinartist. “Love u and live through this sooooo much,” theHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Seriesactresswrote.
“Olivia - you’re welcome,” Love replied to Rodrigo, while doubling down on her expectation of flowers and an apology. “My favorite florist is in Notting Hill, London! Dm me for deets! I look forward to reading your note!”

“I’m just constantly learning and growing at such a rapid rate,” Rodrigo recently told PEOPLEafter debutingSour. “I’m writing songs and I’m really happy. I’m a lot happier than I was when I wrote that record, which is great. I’m a lot more confident, which I think is a good aspect of growing up. We’ll see what the next era brings, but I’m excited to start working on it.”
A rep for Rodrigo did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
