Read our privacy policy Sam Smith’s fans have called out a reporter for misgendering the singer while covering the 2023 Grammy Awards red carpet. While discussing Smith’s red carpet look, a reporter with the Associated Press said: “Sam Smith has had a lot of controversy around his outfits this past year, I love that he’s continuing to push the mould, love that he’s continuing to break out from the Sam Smith that we knew at the ballads. “He’s still singing those ballads, but he’s definitely diving fully in, into pop music, and we can see that, not only in his music, but also in his looks as well.” One person reacted: “Everyone using the wrong pronouns for Sam Smith is bothering me.” Another said: “Someone tell the reporters to use the right pronouns for Sam Smith!!! In an interview, earlier this year, the singer said changing their pronouns “felt like coming home”.
