The AMAs later took to Twitter to praise her saying, “Wasn’t @Selenagomez’s performance UNREAL?!”
But some disagreed. One fan wrote, “It was probably unreal bc she wasn’t singing.” And another tweeted, “Yeah so unreal she didn’t bother to fake the lip synching. It’s 2017 and you people are still accepting mediocrity as entertainment."
However, many of the singer’s loyal fans were quick to defend her, pointing out that she is still recovering from her transplant.
