Pop star Madonna responded to critics after they took issue with her appearance at the Grammy Awards.

Several Twitter users shared photos of the singer with their thoughts on her looks.

Comedian Tim Young tweeted, “Madonna looks good for her age… if her age is 2,700 year old vampire who eats babies and small animals alive.”

One user tweeted, “What happened to Madonna? She’s almost become unrecognizable. I know she’s gotten older, but that’s not it. She looks like a different person! What do you think has happened to Madonna? Is that even her?”

Madonna took to Instagram to respond to the criticism.

“Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim — many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face!!” Madonna wrote.

She added, “Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women pass the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working, and adventurous.”

Madonna went on to say that she “never apologized for any of the creative choices” she has made when it comes to the way she looks or dresses.

Additionally, she claimed she has been “degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.”

Concluding the post, Madonna wrote, “I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior — pushing boundaries — standing up to the patriarchy — and most of all enjoying my life.”
