Many were quick to react to the ‘Unholy’ nature of Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ Grammy performance.

Smith and Petras won the Grammy for the ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ for their collaborative song ‘Unholy,’ making them the first non-binary and transgender artists to win the award.

Their live performance of the song was quick to spark concern and backlash for its devilish depictions.
