Collier initially shared the image on Instagram in February 2018, captioning it "Happy Valentine’s Day." She also credited photographer Bruno Juminer by tagging him.

While the post by the "Espresso" singer has generated enthusiasm among fans, there have also been numerous individuals criticizing Carpenter for failing to acknowledge the original photo.
