A Scottish women’s charity said Carpenter’s new album cover evokes “tired tropes” of women being “possessions,” while fans have defended her cover as satirical commentary on sexism.
I don’t know anything about her either, but I think this has to do with her being very popular atm, and so many people watching what she does. The cover itself is nothing special, I’ve seen worse in recent years so I guess it’s mostly sensationalism.

From what I have observed, a lot of people saw her as a reclamation of boy-crazed sexuality; thus a sense of betrayal has been formed.
Sounds plausible to me.
