Sam Smith Wore Devil Horns at the Grammys 2023
The satanic panic never seems to end, especially when a queer artist takes the stage As similarly seen with Lil Nas X`s devilish “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” promotion in 2021, conservatives have their satanic panic panties in a twist over last night`s performance from Sam Smith and Kim Petras. The two took the Grammys stage for a performance of their song “Unholy,” which won the award for Best Pop Duo Or Group Performance.
SAM SMITH WORE DEVIL HORNS AT THE GRAMMYS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE LOSING IT
PETRAS THE FIRST TRANS WOMAN
In addition to Petras making history as the first transgender woman to win in the category, she and Smith stoked the flames of controversy with a fiery, hell-themed performance—much to conservative`s chagrin.
Bone-headed political abomination Ted Cruz added his two cents last night, calling the set “…evil.” Majorie Taylor-Green also tweeted about the performance, fit with a Pfizer conspiracy too dim-witted to even bother breaking down.
Aside from the blatant thematic ties to “Unholy.” Petras says the red-laced performance was inspired by the duo`s experience with religious institutions. “Honestly, I think a lot of people have called what I and Sam stand for religiously uncool. I don’t want to be there,” Petras told Variety. I can’t live in a way. That’s what we were trying to do, and I was kind of Helpkeeper Kim.
Arguing:
Much like arguing with the devil about Lil Nas X and his striptease. Conservatives love to ignore the context of their storytelling, embracing Satanism and immoral lifestyles for queer and trans people. Moreover, Choose to spit nonsense about the artist. It all plays into Hollywood’s conspiracy to cause social disintegration and poison the next generation, an outdated but enduring theory. Furthermore, At the end of the day, trying to smear artists in the LGBTQ+ community is boring. Circular nonsense, but not without consequences. Unfortunately, as anti-trans laws ravage states like Cruz-led Texas, the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric of satanic panic is having political repercussions. Last year, bills emerged across the United States aimed at eliminating the very existence of trans-affirmative grooming and drag shows.
This form of political violence operates on macro and micro levels. Smith, who came out as nonbinary in 2019, cited her verbal and physical harassment. Also how it impacted her experience with the world.
