Cher has sparked a huge debate online after Dua Lipa was branded "the Cher of our generation".
The singing sensation hit back at a Tweet which pictured her at the Grammy awards in 1974 and Dua at the same event but 47 years later.
The two women both wore glittery outfits with a similar butterfly design and strap details.
The user captioned the now-deleted tweet: “Dua Lipa, the Cher of our generation.”
Another person shared the tweet with the caption: "So much truth in one Tweet," and tagged both artists.
But the 76-year-old was clearly unimpressed and replied: "How many yrs are in a generation," with a puzzled-looking emoji.
The Turn Back Time singer wore a matching butterfly headpiece and shimmery purple eyeshadow.
Her trademark long black hair flowed over her shoulders and she covered her shoulders with a sheer white cape.
One fan stood by Cher and wrote: “Props to her for this. I find the ‘they’re the new (insert artist)’ so offensive especially when the original artist is still alive.”
The person who made the original Tweet replied to Cher: "I was praising u and dua style but some people didn't get the message".
Another added: "People are not really understanding the cultural impact Cher had.
"Anyone can dress like Cher today, but it's not the same thing as being the first one to break that ground. That was Cher,"
"Also Cher has starred in movies and her own TV show. She is the one and only," they continued.
While both artists are enjoying incredibly successful careers, many pointed out that it was wrong to compare artists with such an age gap - especially when Cher is still making music.
Her last album was released in 2018 and she went on tour around the time of its release before she had to stop due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dua released her second album "Future Nostalgia" in 2020 and in 2021 teamed up with Elton John for their joint track Cold Heart.
This summer it was revealed that Cher had her own fashion line with Versace, with has been branded Chersace.
