To no surprise, Sam Smith, 30 stole the show with their performance of “Unholy” alongside Kim Petras during the 65th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 5! Upon Sam’s entrance, they performed surrounded by cloak-wearing disciples and brought the heat with a flame-lit stage in the background. Sam rocked latex pants, a sheer ruffled top, and a top hat complete with horns. Kim wowed and sang inside of a cage to the duo’s major hit. Notably, pop legend Madonna introduced Sam to the stage with a speech about “dangerous” and “provocative” musicians.

Soon after Sam and Kim hit the stage, many of their fans took to social media to share their reactions. “This was an amazing performance,” one admirer wrote, while another chimed in, “10/10 performance tbh.” Other rave reviews included one viewer that tweeted, “Continuing to make history tonight!”, and a separate fan who noted, “It was trance- like.”
Earlier in the evening, while on the red carpet, the nonbinary singer/songwriter rocked a monochromatic red gown, which featured a top hat, lace eye cover, bedazzled cane, and latex gloves. Not only did Sam arrive on the red carpet in a majorly impressive outfit, but they also showed up with an entourage that included singer Kim Petras, and drag queens Violet Chachki, and Gottmik. Kim nearly matched Sam’s outfit with a mini red cocktail dress, a red veil, a statement necklace, and red heels.
