Selena Gomez makes her first AMAs performance after kidney transplant, Twitter furious with her lip syncing
Selena Gomez wore a slinky nightgown with sneakers to the American Music Awards 2017 on November 19 and she couldn't have looked more carefree.
The singer who recently had a kidney transplant as announced on her Instagram profile in September, took to the AMAs stage for her first music awards show post-surgery.
She could be seen crooning to her latest single “Wolves” at the awards show while wearing the slip dress with a Tiffany diamond cross pendant, wet and dishevelled hair that she has coloured blonde and blood on her body to complete the look.
Crying with the wolves because I did NOT want that performance to end, @selenagomez & @marshmellomusic! ?? #SELENAxAMAs pic.twitter.com/sNyqCTnmZR

Last year, Selena won hearts with her emotional acceptance speech while receiving the award for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist.
However, not everyone was impressed with her look or performance.
Some took to Twitter to criticize her for lip syncing throughout the performance.
There was a rumor that Selena had a panic attack during her performance, we don't know how true this is but could be why she looked sad throughout ??.but no matter what we are grateful for everything she has done and #WeAreProudOfSelena. #SelenaxAMAs #AMAs. pic.twitter.com/6MDukNfSwO

The fact that Selena had a panic attack before going on stage and then actually performing is both heartbreaking but shows just how strong she really is @selenagomez I love you so much baby

While others defended her by arguing that she had suffered a rumoured panic attack prior to the show and it was commendable that she continued.
Well it's not a Selena Gomez performance without the mediocrity and lip syncing so are we really surprised? #AMAs2017 #AMAs pic.twitter.com/BNQ3AIrpNk
