Sam Smith Covered This Madonna Song In Only Bejeweled Briefs & Pasties
Looks like the Gloria tour is quite the show!
Sam Smith has only been on tour for a few days, and they're already pissing off conservatives.
The "Dancing With A Stranger" singer is currently touring their latest album, Gloria, which features the no. 1 hit single "Unholy" featuring Kim Petras. The track in and of itself has spared conservative outrage, and Smith is only leaning into it.
The out, nonbinary artist has called the show "my gay cabaret" online and wears controversial outfits that are easily getting folks riled up.

The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter opened their Gloria tour with "Stay With Me" and some of their more buttoned-up tracks before launching into the last act, aptly titled "ACT III: Sex". According to PinkNews, Smith performs "Unholy" in a "bejeweled corset, thigh-high boots, devil horns, and matching trident."

Considering Smith and Petras' recent Grammy performance – which was deemed satanic – it's easy (and predictable) to see why some folks are up in arms.
\u201c"Think of the children!" "Ban this filth!" "They're sick in the head!"\n\nWe've heard ALL of this before, you're just looking for things to be offended by and Sam Smith is your current flavour. In a year it'll be some other singer you're repulsed by for aaaalll the same shit.\u201d— Sooz Kempner\ud83d\udc00 (@Sooz Kempner\ud83d\udc00) 1681454338
