Commentary: Bless their hearts! The Christian right attempts to mount a revival – By Amanda Marcotte (Salon) / Feb 8. 2023
The Satanic panic over the Grammys is part of a larger fundamentalist bid to make themselves relevant again
After a banner year for pop music, Sunday’s Grammy award show was quite the barnburner for pop culture discourse. Beyoncé fans decried the failure to award her groundbreaking “Renaissance” album the top award, while Harry Styles fans defended their man’s acceptance speech. Twitter gossips enjoyed Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez quarreling. Taylor Swift won something and, more importantly, had truly astounding earrings.
Oh yeah, and conservatives absolutely lost their minds in what may or may not be a sincere panic over a “Satanic ritual” performed by Sam Smith and Kim Petras, which was, in reality, a heavily stagecrafted performance of their hit song “Unholy.”
