Ciara took on one of the most difficult songs to sing publicly by belting her rendition of the National Anthem before the Alabama Vs. Clemson championship game.
The internet trolls came out of their caves to drag the singer for her attire and her vocals.
Two commentators were former ESPN reporters who felt the dress was not a good choice for such a family friendly show:

Other spectators had some critiques of her performance:

We’re like, okay she’s no Whitney Houston but she definitely gave the song her all!
As the true knight in shining armor he is, BAE DangeRUSS Wilson cut through all the clutter to let his girl know, he’s got her back:

Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson has a message to any homophobic critics of ‘Empire’: “I’ll send you cookies.”
The actress spoke out after the awards about the homophobic fodder that plagues the conversation around the show:
Via People:
“We ignore that. That’s nonsense and that’s fear, so we understand where that’s coming from, so there’s nothing to comment on that. The numbers speak for themselves,” said Taraji.
“People are dealing with this, it’s not a joke, that’s why it’s in the script. It’s not for show, it’s not for sensationalism. It’s because people are struggling with this. And that’s why we shed light on it. You can’t make everybody happy, we don’t try to. We just try to touch and affect lives and I think we have. We’re always going to have haters, so here’s to all my haters! I’ll send you cookies, thanks.”
Well there ya have it, haters!

According to Page Six, Lindsay Lohan spat in the face of a bartender at an NYC bar.
Ya know, Lindsay Lohan doing some Lindsay Lohan type sh*t.
After the actress wouldn’t leave the bathroom, a bartender knocked on the door to ask her to leave.
Allegedly, she got really upset, and started asking the bartender if he was Ghanian.

She then spit on a customer who tried to help.
Gross.
But the mess didn’t stop there. Reportedly, Lohan left, but then sent her goonie back into the bar to try to fight the bartender.
Not a good look, Lohan.
