A mess. So much for her & DJWS saying that "Applause" was going to be some huge smash. I mean, they picked the single over a year ago and kept saying up until it was released that it was going to smash.
But, yes, she wasn't fat, but the outfit just wasn't flattering. And the media is the media, so naturally they would mock her for it.
She probably was just a little fatter than Bey. People just called her fat because they expected her to have her body she had in her prime, which is impossible now because she gave birth to two children.
