The album cover is a basic screenshot from the music video

This is a nightmare.

I'm sure I will wake up tomorrow and a different video will be on VEVO and the album cover will be from the single artwork photoshoot.

It has to be.

I can't believe this is actually happening 

Like seriously though, WTF!?! I was not expecting this today

I love the cover and I love the new video. If you don't, then wait for the carpool karaoke, if you dislike it too, wait for the VMA and the rest of the performances and if you dislike them too then stan for Katy or Rihanna or Beyonce.

A music video is to be watched and watched again. The carpool karaoke will be a one time thing. Even if it ends up being awesome, it will not save a messy music video, because the purpose is different.

And we are here talking about the music video of the lead single...

I had the feeling her team was finally starting to get it right this week.

This is the first time we have a cover which is just a print screen made by Larry when he was watching the final edit of this messy music video.

Of course there are meltdowns.

DID THEY THINK WE WOULDNT NOTICE

This is too bad to be true 

[BritneyGasoline]

Lets pray that they will fix things this week and soon after this mess growing all over Internet

This is why they put so many product placements: to distract us from this mess.

I've noticed this too. They're so cheap lol. But the pic isn't even the worst thing.. That font they used... It should be burried.

Paint is alive. When will Photoshop?

I will go to bed soon. I will not wake up before the original music video is released. Ready to be the new Sleeping Beauty, to be honest.

Same as LEMONADE.

The Lemonade cover looks like a HQ picture/still shot which is different.

I don't know why are they trying to boycott themselves. I mean, it's SO easy to pick a good cover and it's so easy to see that the original video was better. What the hell goes through their heads? Why do a bad job when you are able to do something much better? They have CHOSEN to go the wrong way. Why boybott her own career with something so obvious? They had a ******* perfect picture to promote Private show on ET, USE IT. 

Why HIDE a great job and show something basic to the public?

I wish I was a fly on the wall to understand how they come up with these messy ideas.

Sneak peek into Larry's mind when managing Britney's career:

By the way, this is a HQ version of the cover.

Only the text is HQ and Britney remains extremely blurry, which confirms the idea that the cover is a basic screenshot.

None of this is gonna matter if the music delivers. We all need to chill.

The music videos are the second most important thing after the music, though.

This music video still used a album cover (I would be okay with a single cover) is a stain on both her videography and her discography.

I woke up and thought for a second that maybe it was a bad dream.  

It is a bad dream... that will haunt us even during daylight.

[December02]

Is this the only album where she didn't do an actual photoshoot for the album cover? Makes more sense as a single cover really. That being said, I'm fine with it, though it probably won't match the quality of the music tbh

[BritintheZone]

I cant make excuses for this

I am so tired of her flop team.

That's pretty much the only thing that pisses me off from this whole situation.  But definitely not enough to throw a meltdown, let alone boycott the album or turn in my stan card.

David took the photoshoot with him. 

this, I am having a seperate meltdown over an amazing booklet photos we will never see 

Glory booklet will probably be filled with the screenshots from this ******* MV 

[WootsWow]

Oh lord. That's so embarrassing and cheap. I would understand if a new girl like Tinashe, Tove Lo do this due to budget constraint. Britney girl you have 2 years to take a photo shoot.
