Lana Del Rey’s Honeymoon cover surfaced online this afternoon (August 20) and was initially dismissed as fake. Fans reasoned that the ever-stylish diva would not sign off on something that looks like a poster for Starline Tours. However, the artwork eventually popped up on Google Play (and other streaming sites) — confirming that it is, in fact, legit. The news sparked a social media meltdown.

“The honeymoon cover is ugly,” one fan lamented. “Everyone hates the Honeymoon cover,” protested another. Someone even compared it to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, which is a particularly low blow. Here’s why I disagree. The artwork is actually a clever play on Lana’s obsession with celebrity.

What better way to express this than have the 30-year-old posing on a bus that ushers starry-eyed tourists around Hollywood hotspots? It’s tongue-in-cheek, irreverent and ties in perfectly with her paparrazi-abliterating “High By The Beach” visual. Anyway, it looks like I’m alone on this. Check out some of the reactions below.

the honeymoon cover is ugly (if it's really official)…..high by the beach cover is way better and should've been the album cover tbh.

This part of the Honeymoon album cover is perfect. Everything else ruins it, ugh. pic.twitter.com/PPPK39EUOl
