Lady Gaga’s fans rushed to her defense last night on social media when Internet trolls mocked her belly rolls during her 13-minute halftime performance at Super Bowl 51 in Houston.
The outspoken pop singer changed outfits several times before stripping down to an American football-styled costume, leaving her midriff exposed.
Viewers immediately took to the Internet, mocking the pop star and laughing at the singer for sucking her stomach in.
One troll tweeted: “I just feel like #Gaga’s dough should’ve been tucked in better.”
The criticism enraged Gaga’s loyal fans, who took to social media to clap back at the singer’s critics.
“Shoutout to lady gaga’s stomach roll for showing girls that you don’t need to have a perfect body to absolutely kill it,” tweeted Erin Moore, while another fan added: “LADY GAGA GOT UP THERE WITH HER REAL BODY WITHOUT A PERFECTLY FLAT STOMACH OR AIRBRUSH I LOVE HER SO MUCH.”
Another Gaga devotee, Kenzie Sharp, wrote:
“I’ve been feeling rly (really) down abt (about) my body – rly fat & gross – but after seeing @ladygaga rock it on stage w/a belly like mine i feel so much better”, while Abby Parsons joked: “I have more fat in my right eyelid than Lady Gaga does in her whole body”, and Samantha Lim called her “a great role model for young women”.
