Church Of Satan Says Sam Smith & Kim Petras' 'Unholy' Performance Was More 'Meh' Than Satanic
While many on the Christian right were left clutching their pearls following Sam Smith and Kim Petras‘ supposedly “satanic” performance at the 2023 Grammys, one organization closely familiar with the subject matter found it a bit boring.
In an interview with TMZ, David Harris, a magister of the Church of Satan, said he thought Smith and Petras’ performance was “all right” and “nothing particularly special.” In the performance, Smith sported a red leather outfit with horns sprouting from a top hat, while Petras danced in a cage surrounded by fire and backup dancers dressed as devils. However, when it came to the real-life people who were offended by the performance — especially public officials like Ted Cruz and Marjorie Taylor Greene — Harris called them “delicate snowflakes,” while also turning their own criticism back on them. “It’s sad when politicians on a national stage use someone’s religion as a punchline,” he said. Harris’ comments came after a wave of criticism for both Smith and Petras online following their performance. Cruz called the number “evil,” while Greene said the production was “demonic.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/church-of-satan-says-sam-smith-kim-petras-unholy-performance-was-more-meh-than-satanic/ar-AA17gsV1

1. Well yeah, it wasn't Satanic.
It was just a fun musical performance.

4. He was throwing it in their faces.
I won’t post the video since, though I like it a lot, it’s pretty nsfw. But the “Unholy” referred to in the song is cheating. “Mommy don’t know Daddy’s getting hot/at the body shop/doing something unholy.”
I’m pretty sure Sam, who has busted out of the closet with a vengeance these last few years, was having a fine time with “Oh, you want Satanic?” |
