Making Grammys 2023 history as a trans woman, Kim Petras celebrates her big win

LA Times  

Kim Petras accepts the Grammy for best pop duo/group performance for “Unholy,” her collaboration with Sam Smith, at Sunday’s Grammy Awards. “In the very beginning of my career, Sam reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by you, and I’d love to make a song with you eventually.’ It took us a lot of songs we sent back and forth that weren’t the right fit, and finally ‘Unholy’ came along, and we both felt like this was our little baby.” In a statement, GLAAD executive Anthony Allen Ramos celebrated the Grammys achievements of Petras, Smith and other musicians making strides for the LGBTQ community. “From Sam Smith and Kim Petras breaking barriers for non-binary and transgender people in music by winning the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, to Brandi Carlile and Wet Leg dominating the Rock and Alternative Music categories with multiple wins, and Steve Lacy’s win for Best Progressive R&B album, the Grammy Awards were dominated by more openly LGBTQ artists and musicians than ever before.” After Petras delivered her moving speech onstage, Twitter was abuzz with commentary praising the boundary-pushing artist. “that’s historic.” “That beautiful speech from Kim Petras is going to save lives,” tweeted Variety reporter Elizabeth Wagmeister.
