Negative reactions to Adele’s weight loss

I know this is a older topic but I’m never up to date on celebrities because it’s not my thing.

But I recently found out Adele lost a lot of weight. She was a little overweight before and now is much thinner.

To my surprise she is receiving a lot of backlash instead of pats on the back for losing weight. Many refuse to compliment her weight loss success, saying they refuse to say she looks great because that would imply she wasn’t great before. I find that ridiculous because if someone gets a new haircut saying it looks great doesn’t imply their hair looked bad before. I think a lot of this stems from Adele being a icon for plus size singers, since their are very few plus size female singers who make it big. Some felt they lost their plus size icon and now she is just another pop star just like the rest. I feel this is unfair because you should be a fan because you like her music and not how she looks.

She is actually loosing fans for loosing weight. This is interesting because many singers have had the opposite happen to them. Kelly Clarkson received so much backlash for gaining weight when she was in the prime of her music career.

How do you feel about Adele receiving so much negativity for losing weight?
