Smith wore a red suit with devil horns and sang about a man who abandons his family to sexual perversion while a group of scantily-clad dancers moved in a circle.<\/p>\n<p>It was very similar to something that a trick-or treater might find in Party City.<\/p>\n<p>This was strongly reacted to by many conservative viewers \u201csatanic\u201d Performance, which only made them more amused in their derision. \u2018How could anyone fall for such a blatant caricature of the devil,\u2019 They were curious. \u2018How pathetic.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Smith, \u201cUnholy,\u201d the transgender artist Kim Petras, and indeed the whole Grammys broadcast weren\u2019t really about the fallen angel who wanted to become more powerful than God, however. As many pundits rightly pointed out, modern-day Satanism isn\u2019t usually about worshiping the devil; it\u2019s about worshiping the self. <\/p>\n<p>Hollywood celebrities are better than anyone, not even the ones who clap along with the audience.<\/p>\n<p>This spectacle was designed to provoke a huge reaction. Smith had to be present for the performance. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/samsmith\/status\/1622338593808158720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tweet<\/a> Black and white photos from the rehearsal. The caption was written in. \u201cThis is going to be SPECIAL.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CBS replied in a now-deleted Twitter. \u201c\u2026.you can say that again. We are ready to worship!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith and Petras\u2019 performance delivered the publicity it promised. Reactions were strong from everyone from politicians and business leaders to regular Twitter users who couldn\u2019t believe how blatant the whole thing was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnd of days vibes,\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/end-of-days-vibes-elon-musk-other-public-figures-slam-demonic-performance-at-the-grammys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Responded<\/a> You can see a clip of it here.<\/p>\n<p>John Rich, country music singer tweeted \u201cThe Grammys looked like hell last night. If God doesn\u2019t bring judgement on America he\u2019ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The song choice is fitting of the theme radical self-worship. \u201cUnholy\u201d It is about a man who chooses his sexual fulfillment over his familial obligations. It doesn&#8217;t get more satanic than this.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lyrics:<\/p>\n<p>Mummy don\u2019t know daddy\u2019s getting hot<\/p>\n<p>Doing something sinister at the body shop<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s sat back while she\u2019s dropping it, she be popping it<\/p>\n<p>She did, and it was slow.<\/p>\n<p>Oh-ee oh-ee oh, he abandoned his children at<\/p>\n<p>Ho-ee&#8217;oh-eem, so he gets that<\/p>\n<p>Mummy don\u2019t know daddy\u2019s getting hot<\/p>\n<p>Doing something unholy at the body shop (woo)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth pointing out that many artists choose to thank God during their acceptance speeches. It\u2019s unclear whether that\u2019s out of habit or because they truly believe, but it does make for an interesting juxtaposition between the \u201cUnholy\u201d Drama and the gushing speeches portion of the evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m trying not to be too emotional. I\u2019m trying to just receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God,\u201d Beyonce opened her speech after she broke the Grammy Record for the Most Grammy wins by winning the Best Dance\/Electronic Music Album trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Petras thanked Madonna as well as the transgender community.<\/p>\n<p>German-born singer was specifically thanked. \u201call the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight,\u201d SOPHIE, the late electronic artist\/producer. Petras also stated, \u201cThis is a huge moment for me, Sam. Thank you. You are a true angel and hero in my life, and I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Petras is a male who identified as transgender at age 16 and was medically transformed at 16. He also spoke out about the controversy that followed the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool,\u201d The singer sang.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it, but then slowly realizing it doesn\u2019t want me to be a part of it,\u201d Petras continued. \u201cSo it\u2019s a take on not being able to choose religion and not being able to live the way that people might want you to live, because, you know, as a trans person, I\u2019m kind of already not wanted in religion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daily Wire cofounder and host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1662-getting-satanic-at-the-grammys-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ben Shapiro<\/a> This sums it all up nicely, pointing out that the satanic performance was both intentionally trolling and unintentionally accurate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Grammys annual trolling of traditionally moral people continued apace this year with a full-on Satanic performance from two white men, Sam Smith and Kim Petras,\u201d Shapiro <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1622610253442342915\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tweet<\/a> After the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo even note that this happened is to draw fire: \u201cHey, why are you even noticing? Why do you even care?\u201d This is the Face Tattoo Syndrome\u2122 in action: do something highly provocative, then act shocked and appalled when people are provoked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there\u2019s something deeper happening here, too. The elite in our society are fully in line with the ideology of Satanic fealty expressed by Smith and Petras,\u201d He went on. \u201cSo what\u2019s the story with Satan and the transgressive ideology? Most of religious history is devoted to the transgressive ideology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oddly enough, there\u2019s something less sinister about the over-the-top evil vibes of the 65th Annual Grammy Awards than if Sam Smith and Kim Petras had chosen a bit more subtlety.
