Gaga responded on Instagram on Tuesday night to those who took shots at her physical appearance during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show. She included a picture of herself in a bare midriff in her post. In the caption she writes: “I could give you a million reasons why you don’t need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That’s the stuff of champions.”
Overall, Gaga won rave reviews for her high-energy show, which was watched by more than 117 million people.
Gaga supporters were quick to rally around the singer with a barrage of tweets and other social media posts.

Lady Gaga's body is the perfect amount of realistic-I'm-in-great-shape-and-not-anorexic. Great role model for young women. #superbowl
