Elon Musk is the latest person to speak out against Sam Smith’s performance of “Unholy” at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, after numerous people criticized the singer for dressing as the Devil.
While Kim Petras performed in a cage while fire shot everywhere, Sam Smith danced around the stage in their devil costume, accompanied by a number of dancers with red tattoos.
After all, the song is called “Unholy,” so maybe it’s just a little funny instead of being obliquely Satanic?
What were people anticipating?
However, the Tesla and Twitter CEO took to Twitter to express his disappointment with Smith’s performance.
The performance was compared to the apocalypse by Musk, an advocate for free speech, who claimed that it had “end of days vibes.”
In any case, it appears that every action Smith takes these days is met with the necessary amount of skepticism and criticism from individuals who, if they really gave it some thought, might realize that this is precisely the point and exactly what the artists wanted to happen.
Madonna, isn’t it true that subversive and persuasive performances have been around for a long time?
Is it true that it is not particularly novel?
However, conservatives have been gathering to criticize the performance of the two, with some even describing it as “devil worshipping” and Texas Senator Ted Cruz tweeting: This…is…evil.”
Megyn Kelly also accused the performance of “celebrating Satan” on her SiriusXM podcast.
However, the pair’s fans have responded by claiming that the criticism of the performance may also be based on something else.
A person wrote: They wouldn’t be mocked for how they present and dress if Sam Smith were thin, straight, and cis.
Petras said as he accepted the award, “Clearly emotional.” “I want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open,” I said, “I’m the first transgender woman to win this award.”
Petras had mentioned some of the legends that had come before her before the ceremony, telling GRAMMYS.com: “I just feel like they’ve all kind of been overlooked a lot, and never really got what they deserved in terms of their influence…” “Unholy” shot right to the top of the charts all over the world after it was released, making Smith and Petras the first non-binary and transgender artists to top the Billboard Hot 100. I’m proud of that.

Smith and Petras became the first non-binary and transgender artists to top the Billboard Hot 100 when their song “Unholy” debuted at the top of the charts worldwide.
