BRITS 2023: Why Are People Criticizing Sam Smith?

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.

Harri, the design label that created the outfit for Sam Smith weighed into explaining the inspiration behind the outfit.
