There was some outrage surrounding the “Unholy” performance of Sam Smith and Kim Petras at the Grammys. They seemed to bring Hell to Los Angeles — as if that was something new. I’m grateful that there was a hat tip to a moral barometer at all. That any behavior is labeled “unholy” suggests there might be something else to aspire to.
What deserves more reflection than Sam Smith’s horned hat is Kim Petras. I confess the two of them are new to me. And I had to do a doubletake when Petras was heralded as the first transgender Grammy winner. Petras looked like a woman, sang like a woman, danced like a woman. Petras had transitioned as a teen.
