Lady Gaga nearly overloaded Twitter on Super Bowl Sunday when comments from social-media users flooded the site. During her 12-minute performance, fans gave a play-by-play, commenting on her dazzling costumes, stage makeup and overall badassery. But, sadly, there was also a flood of negative Tweets that were sent by viewers who were troubled by the tiniest protrusion of Gaga’s stomach.

The unapologetic Gaga has never cared about what people have to say about her looks. But that doesn’t mean that it’s OK to shame a fellow human being for not being perfect. But it’s not just that these comments were unfounded (considering the singer looks basically perfect), they also disregard how physically fit Gaga actually is.

Not only did she repel from the ceiling, but she also killed a fierce choreographed dance routine that was seriously calorie crushing. In other words, the singer is the picture of fitness.
Gaga proved just how seriously she is committed to fitness by squeezing in a quick preshow workout on her TRX bands. The 30-year-old posted a photo of her working on her arms and core on social media in preparation for her high-intensity performance. Not even her Versace ensemble was enough to stop Mother Monster from hitting the TRX for some body-weight resistance exercises. And if that’s not commitment, we don’t know what is.
What an incredible performance! PC: @ladygaga / Mason Poole #TRX #SuperBowl #SB51
Fat shamers must have expected for the internet to laugh and join in on the mockery, but what they accidentally incited was a movement from women — fans and otherwise — who started tweeting how much Gaga’s stomach looked like their own. Many praised her for not having rock-hard abs while still being fit — showing the world that women do not need to have the perfect body in order to be happy, strong and in shape.
Ok guys...#LadyGaga is NOT FAT! Amazing performance, energy and a feminine tummy, not a Hulk looking overtoned belly. Shut up haters!
