Religious nuts LOSE IT over "Unholy" Grammy performance

I like that bear Sam Smith. He's dreamy.
"Singers Sam Smith and [trans artist] Kim Petras delivered a devilish performance at the Grammys on Sunday night, and it has many conservative commentators in a Satanic panic.
During the awards ceremony, Smith and Petras performed their song "Unholy," with Smith clad in a top hat featuring red devil horns and surrounded by red-robed female dancers.
Conservatives on Twitter reacted with horror to the performance, which they believed was an actual tribute to Satan.
"The Grammys have gone full-on Satan worship right on prime time TV," wrote Newsmax's Benny Johnson."
Sam Smith & Kim Petras‘ ‘Unholy’ Grammys performance deemed ‘Satanic’ & ‘Evil’ by conservatives
Stephen Daw, Billboard, Feb. 6, 2023

I like that Sam Smith. He's wicked.
During the ceremony on Sunday (Feb. 5th, 2023), Sam Smith and Kim Petras offered a rousing performance of their hit single “Unholy,” in which Petras [who is a trans person] performed alongside drag stars Violet Chachki and Gottmik dressed in devil costumes, while Smith [who is likely gay] was in a bright red top hat with devil horns sticking out from it for the final chorus.
Instead of celebrating the fact that the pair made history for the LGBTQ community that night, conservative viewers slammed the performances for promoting the worship of Satan.
“I know we on the right probably use the word [S]atanic too often but this performance from Sam Smith is literally a tribute to Satan,” wrote one viewer.
Another added some conspiracy-baiting into the mix, sayingMadonna (who introduced the performance) looked like a statue erected in New York City that conservatives have called “[S]atanic” as well. More
