Courtney Love is feeling more than sour toward Olivia Rodrigo these days.

Love, 56, called out the “rage-inducing” similarities between her band Hole’s famed 1994 album cover for Live Through This and a new promotional image that Rodrigo, 18, shared.

“Spot the difference! #twinning!” Love wrote on various social media platforms before calling Rodrigo “rude.”

Hole’s album cover features a close-up shot of model Leilani Bishop with makeup streaming down her cheeks while wearing a crown and holding a bouquet of flowers. The new snap of Rodrigo similarly shows the singer with makeup running down her face while wearing a crown and holding blooms.

The Disney+ star originally shared the image to promote an upcoming concert film for Sour set to stream on YouTube starting June 29.

“Since I never got to go to prom, I wanted to throw a little prom party with my fav ppl (you guys obvs),” the teen queen captioned the original tweet.

Love’s upset at the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star continued in comments, especially on Facebook, where she also railed against Disney.

“Does Disney teach kids reading and writing? God knows,” Love ranted.

“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 eventually commented on Love’s Instagram post — not seeming to realise that Love was ticked off.

“love u and live through this sooooo much,” Rodrigo wrote.

Love responded by telling Rodrigo where her favourite florist was located and that she “looks forward to reading” a note from the Disney star.

Page Six has reached out to a rep for Rodrigo for comment.
