An ever-vanishingly small audience enjoyed, or at least witnessed, our culture’s latest Hunger Games-esque award show on Sunday evening: the 2023 Grammy Awards.
According to the internet, Sam Smith, alongside Kim Petras, stole the show with a performance of the aptly named “Unholy,” a confusing compilation of lyrics clumsily sewn together with lazy sexualization and more unnecessary branding than a NASCAR event. Fendi, Balenciaga, Prada, and Miu Miu are all included, as well as a bizarre reference to Rihanna, alongside Shakespearean lines such as “Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot at the body shop, doin’ somethin’ unholy.”
