High school/cheerleader/scrapbook type visuals have been done to death by everyone. A lot of these images are references to other things (Princess Diaries, Hole). The letter hairclips have been a huge mainstream trend since at least 2018. The latex gloves, the “sour” hair clips that literally copy the other picture, the cake, using basically the same font for the same idea of the “prom queen rebel”. those are common but these look identical to eachother.

RainingOnMe 7,187 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Please... it's literally a high school girl / prom teen breakup theme. Nobody owns the concept or the looks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of creative directors do steal a lot from indie bands bc they think they can get away bc they’re a bigger person so people will take their side. It’s happened to pretty much 80% of mainstream artists at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I know it’s a common trope but a lot of this are shot by shot. I mean just look at the latex gloves with cheerleader outfit, that’s not that common either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelusionalGaga 29,205 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Well, that froot does look familiar. In those situations I do feel kinda sorry for the artist because Olivia probably had no idea that her creative director was stealing these aesthetics from somewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Her whole sound is basically a mesh between Taylor, Billie and Lorde, everything about her is derivative from other artists so I'm not surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehanyo 4,250 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Wowwww - I'm usually forgiving of these kinds of charges. All art is inspired by previous art in one way or another. But there are WAY too many copies here. I'd never seen a cheerleader with latex gloves on and that hair clip thing is crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them were stretches but some of them were too on the nose to be coincidental. Its not “talking time to stalk” its some peoples entire careers to make ideas, do research. She has the biggest label in the world its really not that much resources to look for inspiration online. and maybe in isolation they wouldnt be serious but theres a lot of different side by sides that when presented together does look suspicious. Notable the one with the gloves and the hair pins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 65,739 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I think some of you guys need to realize that when people accuse others of "copying" their work, it's not necessarily because of the idea, it's because of the execution. Cheerleaders, cake, and prom are not original concepts, and truthfully, nothing is original. People take inspiration from other people all the time, but when specific things look so similar, then I do think there is a legitimate argument to be made. Like, the latex glove + cheerleader outfit and the hairpins spelling out words? I feel like that's a little too similar. 🃏🖤👹 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levine 18,373 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Literally the same images. And yeah the search for unknown artists/songs in order to copy them it's like an actually task they give to people who work for labels. It happens all the time.
