‘Literally a tribute to Satan’: Viewers slam Sam Smith over ‘demonic’ Grammys performance (video)

One tweeted: 'I know we on the right probably use the word satanic too often but this performance from Sam Smith is literally a tribute to Satan.'

Newsroom February 6 04:56

Grammy viewers slammed Sam Smith and Kim Petras over their ‘satanic’ performance of their award-winning single, Unholy, on Sunday night.

The pair took to the stage shortly after making history with their win in the Best Pop Duo/Group performance, however, the performance drew mixed reactions from onlookers.

After Smith – who is non-binary and uses gender-neutral pronouns – was seen wearing satanic headgear in the horror movie-inspired performance, viewers flocked to social media to share their frustrations about the ‘demonic’ themes.

One tweeted: ‘I know we on the right probably use the word satanic too often but this performance from Sam Smith is literally a tribute to Satan.’

Another added: ‘You don’t have to be super religious to be disturbed by that Sam Smith devil-worshiping performance.’

“YouTube has no age restrictions on Sam Smith’s degrading, sexualized new music video. Even 5-year-olds can look it up and watch it with no content restrictions,” London wrote in a tweet, adding: “Sam Smith, this is not art. This is not modern. This is monstrous.”

Still, others sided with the singer, saying that he is comfortable with his body and that’s not a bad thing.

“I just saw Sam Smith’s new music video and to be honest, it could have been Lady Gaga and nobody would have said anything. I see Boy George, George Michael, Lady Gaga, Madonna, ‘Moulin Rouge’, and sexual freedom. I mean, literally, what’s the point? someone pointed out.
