We're Having the Wrong Conversation About Sam Smith's Satan Outfit (Plugged In)

I'm talking about Sam Smith and Kim Petras' performance of their hit song “Unholy,” of course. The pair took home the coveted Grammy for this song in the ...

And Smith knows it: It’s right there in the song’s title, “Unholy.” The song itself focuses on a married man who secretly goes to a “body shop” to do “unholy” sexual things there. Add in Kim Petras (whose participation in the song as the first transgendered person to win a Grammy is something I’ll get to momentarily) writhing in a cage, and the whole thing smacked of a horror movie mixed up with a bondage video. But when we as Christians clutch our proverbial pearls like Dana Carvey’s “Church Lady” from the ‘80s on SNL, I think we play right into the response Smith and others hope for. And the internet lost its collective mind, with some gushing about Smith and Petras’ deliberately “transgressive” schtick and others expressing outrage that something seemingly close to Satan worship was transpiring onstage at the biggest music awards show on Earth. I’m talking about Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ performance of their hit song “Unholy,” of course.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras have pissed off lots of viewers who filed complaints with CBS and the FCC over their "Unholy" Grammys performance.
