The singer, 38, urged the critic to “aim higher” after they wrote “no wonder her marriage didn’t work” in response to Clarkson filling in for Simon Cowell as a judge on America’s Got Talent.
Replying to the now-deleted tweet, she said: “Wow. Shaming a woman who has a great work ethic, is a great mom, and who steps up and fills in when a friends asks for a favor because that’s actually what ‘good old country girls’ do….
Wow. Shaming a woman who has a great work ethic, is a great mom, and who steps up and fills in when a friends asks for a favor because that’s actually what “good old country girls” do.... this can’t be who you are deep down. I have more faith in your heart. Aim higher please ❤️ https://t.co/FrWtlqdMbY

“This can’t be who you are deep down. I have more faith in your heart. Aim higher please.”
Cowell, 60, is taking time away from work after breaking part of his back in a fall from a new electric bike he was testing at his house in Malibu.
He was taken to hospital where he had an operation on Saturday night, which involved a number of procedures including having a metal rod put in his back.
Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock, her husband of nearly seven years, in June.
The pair have a six-year-old daughter and a four-year-old son.
They wed in October 2013 in the first marriage for Clarkson and the second for Blackstock.
Blackstock, a talent manager who is the son of Clarkson’s former manager, has two children from his first marriage.
