Ted Cruz leads conservative outrage at Sam Smith's 'Satanic' Grammys ... trends now

Sam Smith sparked fury among conservatives last night after they lit up the Grammy's stage with a Satan-inspired rendition of the hit-song 'Unholy'.

Numerous conservative figureheads have fired back following the hellish performance, with Texas Senator Ted Cruz branding the musical number 'evil'. 

Smith took to the stage at the annual awards show dressed in red with a horned top hat, as they performed their chart-topping song in front of stars including Beyoncé and Dr Dre. 

Their performance, accompanied by frequent collaborator Kim Petras, was also adorned by fire and backup dancers dressed as the Devil. 

Smith and Petras won the award for best pop duo/ group performance at the awards show, with Petras becoming the first transgender woman to win a Grammy while Smith became the first non-binary winner. 

Following the set, several conservative leaders and media figures argued that the act is the latest chapter in the culture wars controversy, suggesting a woke inclination towards Satanism. 

Taking to Twitter to hit out at the performance, several conservative elected officials slammed the awards show for allowing the act to be shown on TV. 

Senator Cruz said: 'This... is... evil.' 

In follow-up posts, the GOP politician took the opportunity to take shots at embattled President Joe Biden and the Democratic party, where joked the act was a 'preview of the DNC Convention.' 

'Meet the new White House Press Secretary,' he added. 

Cruz's outrage at Smith's act was echoed by Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who criticized the performance being 'sponsored by Pfizer.' 

'American Christians need to get to work,' she said.
