Miranda Lambert sarcastically called out body-shamers after they criticized her choice of pants.
On Friday, the country hitmaker, 41, shared a carousel of images from the month of February — including a few snaps on horseback and doing yoga with baby goats.
Lambert dressed down for the outdoor activities, wearing bold blue leggings and a gray long-sleeve top for the workout.
While the “Wranglers” singer seemed happy in all the snaps, one commenter took it upon themselves to voice their disapproval about her outfit choice.
“Yikes, legging type pants are not attractive on people with a little extra here and there. They don’t do you any favors,” the follower wrote.
“You are too beautiful to display the unattractive parts,” they continued. “I’m not a fan of leggings on anyone, actually. I’ve seen way more of a person’s business than I wanted to. 🐪”
Lambert took the rude remark in stride, uploading a screenshot of the comment to her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Good to know! 😂 I’ll do better about displaying my ‘unattractive parts.’”
Soon after, her followers flooded her comments with support, calling out the negative commenter for his “loser behavior.”
It’s not the first time Lambert’s fans came to her defense against body-shaming internet trolls.
After a video of the country star performing went viral on TikTok in 2022, her fanbase blasted rude users — mostly men — who felt the need to comment on the musician’s body.
“I like how it’s only men commenting about her weight. She looks amazing,” one person wrote, as another defender noticed, “Half of the men in the comments would be lucky to find a woman like her.”
Meanwhile, one woman offered a different perspective, explaining, “I have the same body type. She makes me feel safe.”
Others noted that Lambert appeared “happy and healthy” and that “bodies age” and “gain weight,” which is a normal “part of life.”
The “Drunk” singer has been open about her body image struggles over the years, admitting to Health in 2019 that she has “struggled with ups and downs in weight” for her “whole life.”
While being in the public eye added to her struggles, Lambert said one of her fans inspired her to embrace her body.
“I had a girl come up to me. She was probably my size and age, and she said, ‘I want you to know I threw my scale away because of you, because you’re so confident. I realized my weight is not in a scale; it’s in how I feel about myself,’” she reflected, per People.
“That gave me confidence to be like, ‘Whatever state you’re in, you’ve gotta rock it.’”
