Lady Gaga’s message at the Super Bowl LI halftime show was as powerful as the performance itself. Yet, maybe unsurprisingly, for some people the focus was not the show but rather Gaga’s body. The star received criticism (via the lovely comments) on her shape, but Gaga didn’t sit back and take it.

In an Instagram post Tuesday, the singer responded:

I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I'm proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or what you do. 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. thank you so much everyone for supporting me. I love you guys. Xoxo, gaga
