Quoted from Mardi-Gras-Man:who knows what goes on in the heads of some stars - I read that Dave Christensen stated he got lots of trouble from her management regarding the artwork.
I will guess that they didn't like the side art for two reasons: The big ol' country music hair (though it's better than that monstrosity on her head on the bg), and the "pointiness". I like it fine but I'm trying to think like they did.
