Little Monsters React To Body Shamers After The Super Bowl

The headlines weren't about Gaga's performance, but her body.

Little Monsters React To Body Shamers After The Super Bowl
This Is Insider

We all saw Lady Gaga's amazing Super Bowl performance. She flew into the stadium from the sky, rocked all her songs and nailed every dance step. The following day, the headlines were not about how well she had performed, but rather about her "stomach flap."

If this is considered "fat," then I must be obese. I love how Lady Gaga wasn't ashamed to move and dance freely in her own body. We all have rolls when we sit down, this is because we are human.

Situations like these are what leads people to have bad images of their own bodies. When someone as tiny as Lady Gaga is being shamed for not being perfectly toned, what is the everyday women or young girl supposed to think of her own, not perfectly toned body?

Twitter users began to attack the artist, but her "little monsters," her fans, came to her defense shutting down the body shamers once and for all. They prided her on being comfortable in her own skin and setting realistic expectations of what a woman's body should look like.

Tweets like these and many more blew up on Twitter following the singer's performance. What's ridiculous is that Lady Gaga is very accepting of all people. You can often find her giving back to the less fortunate or fighting for equal right for all types of people. Why can't people do the same for her?

Regardless, Lady Gaga is a great role model. She wasn't afraid to be completely herself in her own skin. What younger girls should take away from this performance is not that her body isn't perfect and should be shamed, but it should be prided because it isn't perfect. Nobody is perfect, not even celebrities because we are simply all human.

Fans, supporters and viewers of Lady Gaga's performance should take away from it just what Lady Gaga preaches -- you were born this way. There's no reason to body shame yourself or others- especially through a computer screen. It's time we start setting more realistic goals for ourselves and stop comparing ourselves to others. There is enough negativity in the world already, let's start spreading some positivity.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
