Smith received significant criticism for the performance at the ceremony.
As Variety explained, “Smith started the song in red leather, surround a fleet of dancers that evoked Samara from ‘The Ring,’ before cutting to Petras dancing in a cage, flanked by some dominatrices wearing satanic headgear. Smith also donned a satanic top hat, as huge flames heated up the stage.”
In case you missed it:
Smith and Petras ended up winning the Grammy for best pop duo/group performance.
“I think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool, and I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it but slowly realizing it didn’t want me to be a part of it,” Petras said when asked about the nature of the performance.
Petras added, “So it’s 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 as a trans person I’m already not kind of wanted in religion. So we were doing a take on that and I was kind of hellkeeper Kim.”
