Selena Gomez is getting some flak for her performance during the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: The pop star is being accused of lip syncing.

The 23-year-old turned heads in a plunging black gown as she performed a few hits from her second studio album, “Revival,” including “Hands to Myself” and “Me & My Girls” during the Pink segment of the show, which took place in New York last month but aired Tuesday night on CBS.

The “Spring Breakers” star took to Twitter to praise her time on the glittery catwalk: “I had the most amazing time performing at the #VSFashionShow. Thank you, @victoriassecret!” she tweeted, sharing a link to her performance.

But once the masses experienced the show for themselves, they quickly took to social media to criticize the Disney Channel alum for not performing live.

Except Gomez contends that she did sing live, and stealthily shut down haters by leaving a comment on a photo posted on the Victoria’s Secret Instagram account that featured her performance.

“Yes I ... sing live,” she said in response to the naysayers. Instagram user @gomezupdates captured a screenshot of the profane comment that can be seen here.

Her move shifted the conversation only slightly toward praise, but the comments section on the Victoria’s Secret photo remained chock full of vitriol.

Incidentally, there was some show-related lip-syncing that involved Gomez. Last week, the bevy of Angels and models who walked in the panty parade released a lip sync version of “Hands to Myself” that prominently featured the singer.
