When Kim Petras and Sam Smith walked the red carpet with an entourage of gorgeous people in matching outfits, it was only the first moment of the night to set the internet aflutter: An hour into the ceremony, Petras and Smith won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their absolute banger “Unholy.”
As Petras stepped up to the mic to accept the award—with Smith adorably gassing her up from a few feet behind—she said that Smith had told her to give the speech solo because she was the first trans woman to win in this category. (Smith was close enough, though, that the mic picked up them shouting “Yeah, stand up!” when audience members applauded Petras’ history-making win.)
