Turns out you don't have to be Beyoncé to get trolled by country music fans. Country queen Miranda Lambert also received her fair share of hate during Wednesday night's CMAs.
What's the beef? Lambert had the nerve to post a photo of her and new boyfriend Anderson East enjoying the evening. They're dressed up, they look like they're in love, and ugh, don't you just hate that? Don't you just want to burst their happy little bubble and post some nasty comments?
We won't bother repeating the online vitriol, but most of it had to do with people disparaging East's looks, speculating that Lambert was "miserable," and throwing out comparisons to her ex-husband, Blake Shelton. Guys, move on. They have.
Many fans rushed to defend Lambert, but she proved she can stick up for herself just fine.
"Last night I was all dolled up and 'out on the town' with my sweet man at the CMA awards in Nashville," the singer shared in an Instagram post. "I was excited about the night and posted a picture. Just now when I looked I realized so many comments were judgmental and negative. Cowardly people hiding behind a keyboard or a cell phone writing their useless comments about our eyes and clothes and body language. What a bunch of bullshit. Thank y'all for reminding me why I read books , write songs, and spend most of my time with animals and people I trust and love."
She finished the post with a Maya Angelou quote about the power of words. Then she dropped the mic (or so we imagine).
