Sam Smith, Kim Petras make history by winning best pop duo/group performance
Sam Smith and Kim Petras won the Grammy for best pop duo/group performance for their song "Unholy," with Smith becoming the first nonbinary artist and Petras becoming the first transgender artist to win in this category.
In her acceptance speech, Petras spoke about the historic moment and lifted up other transgender performers.
"I just want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight," she said.
Petras also paid tribute to her friend Sophie, a fellow trans artist who died in 2021, who she said always believed in her.
