The 56th annual Grammy Awards formally aimed to honor Smokey Robinson and Barry Gordy, but the lifetime achievement award went to Lucifer.
Overshadowing the reunion of Motown legends Robinson and Stevie Wonder was a lesser duo of Sam Smith and Kim Petras singing the Grammy-winning duet “Unholy,” which celebrates adultery.

Smith was soon joined by Kim Petras, whose birth name was Tim before taking hormone injections at age 12 and undergoing gender-transition surgery four years later. Petras’s latest EP is titled “Slut Pop”; Smith, who identifies as nonbinary, released a viral social media video that doubled as a burlesque performance shortly after performing at the White House celebration of Biden’s signing the Disrespect for Marriage Act. Smith and Petras were introduced by Madonna, who bore an uncanny resemblance to New York City’s Satanic statue of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
