Sam Smith and Kim Petras stole the show Sunday at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards with a performance viewers are calling "demonic" and a "tribute to Satan."
Smith and Petras, who went on to take home the award for Best Pop Duo or Group Performance, took the stage to perform "Unholy" wreathed in red amid fire and red lights.
The 30-year-old Smith wore a horned hat and dog collar while his dancers used "props that had allusions to BDSM themes," according to a report.
"Unholy" has many sexual themes and name-drops Balenciaga, a fashion house continuing to face backlash over a controversial ad campaign that featured young children and BDSM props.
"I think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool," Petras, a biological man, said. "And I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it, but then slowly realizing it doesn't want me to be a part of it."
"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, you know, as a trans person, I'm kind of already not wanted in religion."
Smith and Petras's performance was ripped by conservatives on social media.
"Sam Smith stages SATANIC Grammy performance with strippers, devil horns Petras danced in a cage, Smith wore devil horns while dancers in long red robes with long straight hair fawned around him in a ritual circle," Turning Point USA founder and President Charlie Kirk tweeted.

People like Sam Smith who love to mock Christianity and use Satanic themes always think they’re super edgy artists by doing it. In reality it’s not edgy. It’s boring, vile, rehashed shock tactics that Hollywood seals clap for because they’re evil & stupid. pic.twitter.com/Hmfo31M5NM

As a Christian, this is a must for us to take on our stand and defend and fight for the Christian faith. More people need the light of Jesus instead of this darkness and evil they are promoting!
It's the danger that many younger generations are often misinformed or even distorting what is abnormal to being accepted as normal and normalizing these kinds of display in LIVE TV!
This just makes me want to throw up! Mommies, what do you think about these?
Mainstream media promoting and even giving awards to these kinds of artists?
I mean we all need to wakeup and read God's word! This is clearly SATANIC WORSHIP and must not be even displayed as normal because it is not! I am worried about my kids just by watching these!
