Lady Gaga unveiled a curvier figure last week as she continued to perform dates on her tour.
But while the 28-year-old had hoped the focus would be on her energetic stage performance, her weight gain didn't go amiss by some online trolls, who cruelly labelled the singer as "fat" and "unattractive".

The Born This Way singer's 'artRave: The Artpop Ball' world tour descended on The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada on Saturday, leading to several observations that she had piled on the pounds.
Hitting back at the harsh comments circulating on Twitter and even left on the comments section of her website, Gaga posted a glamourous black and white photo on Instagram of herself in a white fur coat, stilettos and not much else, stating she is: "curvy and proud".
In March the Bad Romance star admitted that she had gained weight due to overindulging in calorific dishes.

"I really fat right now because I have been eating BBQ," she told Jimmy Kimmel.
Going on to add that she was entirely comfortable with her new figure, she added: "I love my fans because they always let me be myself and they don't care what anybody says.
"It's so much easier to be yourself than it is to be somebody else. Because then you have to pretend to be someone else and like things that you don't like and do stuff that you don't want to do."
