President Joe Biden’s wife Jill also made an appearance and speech.
Last night the annual Grammy awards ceremony was broadcast to U.S. audiences and abroad, awarding performing artists and groups for their music. The event however caused a ruckus online after two performing artists heavily glorified Satan and things associated with Satanism.
According to the official Grammy website, ‘Sam Smith and Kim Petras took the 65th GRAMMY Awards to the body shop with a transgressive performance of their smash collaboration “Unholy,”‘ the awarding body described.
“Unholy” was released in September of last year and ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, thus propelling Smith and Petras to become the first publicly non-binary and trans artists to achieve such a feat.
Surrounded by long-haired acolytes in identical red sheaths, Smith kicked off the performance in an outfit of latex and a devil-horned top hat before Petras made her grand entrance in a giant cage guarded by a trio of she-devils.
“Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot/ At the body shop, doin’ something unholy,” the duo belted in hellish harmony as a wall of fire erupted on stage behind Petras’ personal prison.
Later that night the duo received a Grammy, where Petras took the opportunity to thank the many other transgender performers that paved the way for people such as themselves.
I want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight.
Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win this award.
I don’t think I could be here without Madonna.
According to Variety Petras said backstage her performance was supposedly inspired by her not being accepted by religion.
I think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool, and I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it but slowly realizing it didn’t want me to be a part of it.
So it’s a take on not being able to choose religion. And not being able to live the way that people might want you to live, because as a trans person I’m already not kind of wanted in religion. So we were doing a take on that and I was kind of hellkeeper Kim.
At the end of the performance the broadcast cut away to commercial, but before it did, the Grammy’s mentioned that one of the show’s sponsors for the night was the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.
