Miranda Lambert is not sitting down and taking negative comments about her relationship with new beau Anderson East without a fight.

The singer posted a photo of herself and her boyfriend of nearly a year on Instagram at the CMA Awards Wednesday Night, where she gushed about having a great night with the man she loved standing by her side.

"I had a great time last night celebrating country music at the CMA awards with my sweet (heart emoji) by my side! @andersoneast I'm a lucky girl! #cma50thanniversary #countrymusic #nashville #myBAMAboy #anothervice," she captioned the pic of the two on the red carpet.

However negative comments quickly wound up being posted on the photo by followers who don't seem to be a fan of the romance, East, or Lambert herself, with cruel words about their appearances and even some noting that he isn't her ex-husband, Blake Shelton.

"He's no Blake...." One wrote.

"He looks like a trans testical," another chimed in.

"Her forehead is as big as a landing strip," another added.

However, when she saw the comments, Lambert once again took to her account to share a new photo, this time of her on one of her horses, as she blasted those critics, sharing that she was reminded about why she doesn't stay on social media for too long after seeing the horrifying comments.

Every now and then I decide to re-join the world of social media and post something really personal. Not promoting anyone or anything. Not selling a better version of myself to anyone or trying to look cool like we all do all the time. Just a picture that either I or someone I know and care about took the time to take and see the beauty in. This is one of those moments that im proud of. My friend Tommy snapped it on a trail ride on his phone at golden hour on the farm in TN. What a blessing. I'm wearing yoga pants and no makeup and im on the back of my beloved Leiani. A Gypsy Vanner horse. . But... Last night I was all dolled up and "out on the town" with my sweet man at the CMA awards in Nashville. I was excited about the night and posted a picture. Just now when I looked I realized so many comments were judgmental and negative. Cowardly people hiding behind a keyboard or a cell phone writing their useless comments about our eyes and clothes and body language. What a bunch of bull shit. Thank y'all for reminding me why I read books , write songs, and spend most of my time with animals and people I trust and love. And one last thing..... "Words are things. You must be careful, careful about calling people out of their names, using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives and all that ignorance. Don’t do that. Some day we’ll be able to measure the power of words. I think they are things. They get on the walls. They get in your wallpaper. They get in your rugs, in your upholstery, and your clothes, and finally in to you." Maya Angelou A photo posted by Miranda Lambert (@mirandalambert) on Nov 3, 2016 at 10:18pm PDT

Lambert and East began dating at the end of last year, just a few months after she and Shelton announced their divorce. Shelton went public with his relationship with Gwen Stefani a month prior.
