SAM Smith and Kim Petras performed their song 'Unholy' at the 65th Grammy Awards and left some viewers with mixed feelings.
The song focuses on the story of a cheating husband and was one of the biggest hits of 2022.

The first part of the song is about a man who is cheating on his wife by doing ‘something unholy’. Whereas Petras’ part looks at a woman who just uses a man for his money, according to Lad Bible.
Going by the sexually suggestive music video, the duo's live performance at the Grammys perhaps should not be a surprise.
But, some viewers have accused Smith and Petras of doing ‘satanic rituals’ during their performance.
WOKE #GRAMMYs Satanic worshiping. I cannot believe what i just witnessed #SamSmith ?

Let me know when it’s safe to turn back to CBS. I refuse to watch #SamSmith and his Satanic ritual. #grammys

I’m a christian, and I find "Unholy" absurd and offensive. It mocks my religion by celebrating unholiness through mortification of adultery, immorality and perversion. This song is sinfully blasphemous, which is very disrespectful to me and my community. BAN THIS SONG RIGHT NOW! https://t.co/rsd74JtALr

A netizen wrote: "Somebody named Sam Smith dressed as Satan performed a song called 'Unholy' at the #GRAMMYs. They're indoctrinating your children."
Another person added: "Sam Smith and Kim Petras performing their disgusting song titled 'Unholy' at the 2023 Grammys. I didn’t want to post this video but I have to expose how satanic the music industry is. This is so demonic. Stop listening to this GARBAGE. It’s witchcraft! Seek Jesus."
A third said: "Grammys is just pure devil worship. Just flipped over to it, and Sam Smith was basically doing satanic crap on stage...It’s all so effin gross and disgusting."
But Grammy performances with religious themes have attracted negative attention in the past.
Apart from their performance of 'Unholy', Smith and Petras won a Grammy Award for the track in the Best Duo/Group Performance category.
During her speech, the German star said: “Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I am the first transgender woman to win this award.”
Petras thanked “all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight”.
Her speech ended with a standing ovation from the crowd. – The Vibes, February 6, 2023
