Kim Petras thanks trans musicians for historic Grammy win | CNN

Pop singer Kim Petras nodded to the transgender musicians who paved the way for her historic Grammy win on Sunday. Petras and Sam Smith won the Grammy for best pop or group performance for their viral hit “Unholy.” Smith ceded the stage to Petras to deliver an acceptance speech as the first trans woman to win in the category.

She dedicated the award to the “transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me,” namely the late experimental pop producer Sophie, who was nominated for a Grammy before her death in 2020. She also thanked Madonna for supporting LGBTQ rights and her mother for supporting her transition. Petras isn’t the first trans performer to win a Grammy, but she’s one of the most visible winners. The composer Wendy Carlos won several Grammys in the 1960s, according to Out.

Underline the word 'transgender' then others think this is all about winning, it's nonsense.

Every thing going on is a propoganda

Is this a diversity award?

The road being paved

congratulations Kim for an outstanding win...known you for years and am so happy for you...and yeah ,a big thankyou to your mum too....x

The 90s and early 2000s were superb. Nowadays, it's wack, wack, wack!

Is anyone watching this?

Like who? She’s the first. She’s paving the way for everyone else.

Freaks.

🤮🤮

Delusion take center stage and steps into 'normality' Must belive their fetishes. Obey.

Woke AF

They love playing make-believe and trying to convince us it's the most pertinent thing, don't they?

Did Sam Smith do the “white power” sign during his song? 🤔?

That’s still a dude 😂

What’s a Grammy?

Nobody cares, trans is evil

Many good artistic transgender people. Just don't let them compete against our daughters in sports.

Nobody watches the woke Grammies anymore but thanks anyway for the useless news as always

Good for him!
