Sam Smith is having the best time making music and expressing themselves! They are at the cusp of a cultural uproar with their new album ‘Gloria’. But, one song that has captured the eyeballs of global music heads is ‘Unholy’ featuring the trans artist Kim Petras. It created a rage on all the social media platforms. It had mixed reactions from the audience due to its blasphemous and highly sexual content.
Regardless of the heavy criticism, the song scored the No.1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 list. Kim Petras became the first trans artist to have a song on the Billboard 100 list. The song not only got nominated for a Grammy, but they won the award too. Since Smith decided to restructure their career around their expression, they have been experimenting with fashion with more leather, elaborate gowns, boas, and other things. Recently, during the BRITS 2023 red carpet, Sam got trolled for their fashion.

People are celebrating the new music and new era of Sam Smith due to the liberty of expression. In 2019, they came out as gender fluid and non-binary. This freedom of expressing themselves is now reflected in their seventh studio album ‘Gloria’. But, some people have been criticizing the visuals, promotional content, and Sam Smith for no reason at all.
Recently, during the Grammy performance of ‘Unholy’, Sam and Kim received heat online for promoting ‘Satanism’. Before that, when Sam released the MV for the ‘I’m Not Here To Make Friends’ video, certain sections of people found it too lewd for YouTube. Now, when they arrived at the BRITS 2023 red carpet wearing the latex dress by Harri. The dress had inflated shoulders and thighs paired with black boots and gloves.

Harri, the design label that created the outfit for Sam Smith weighed into explaining the inspiration behind the outfit. Harri said, “Sam was having a lot of hate comments recently after ‘Unholy’ about [their] body image. This is my take on celebrating [their] natural form and the beauty of being one’s self. I wanted to create an image which people have never seen Sam in.”
However, the singer is getting heavily trolled for his outfit on Twitter.

Dear World,
Harry Styles and Sam Smith are not the best we Brits have to offer. They are considered basic in terms of originality & talent. Like James Corden, they have been promoted beyond ability because they are useful idiots for wider agendas.— Sonia Poulton (@SoniaPoulton) February 8, 2023
saw this picture of Popstar Sam Smith. Fella has a good voice but I believe he’s a social experiment. The future of music idols is a worrying one. I blagged it in to the Brit Awards in 2010 there were no artists dressed as twats back then. What’s gone wrong? #Brits2023 #BRITs pic.twitter.com/KZUDnINaAt
