Smith, to their credit, seemed unfazed by the insults flung at them during the entire verbal assault.
This wasn鈥檛 the first time Smith has dealt with , having spoken about being spat at in the street in the UK.
鈥淭he amount of hate and sh*tiness that came my way was just exhausting. And it was really hard,鈥� they said in an interview with Apple Music鈥檚 Zane Lowe.
鈥淚鈥檓 being abused in the street, verbally, more than I ever have. So that was the hardest part, was being at home in the UK and having people shout at me in the street.鈥�
Outburst Due To Grammy Performance
The woman鈥檚 outburst upon seeing the singer comes after the singer鈥檚 controversial performance of Unholy with German singer Kim Petras at the recent 65th Grammy Awards.
The performance saw the duo and their backup dancers wearing risqu茅 red devil-inspired costumes. Petras topped off her look with a satanic-inspired headgear whilst Smith had a devil-horned top hat.
As a response to the devilish performance a wave of Federal Communications Commission complaints came in, with the majority slamming the 鈥済lorification鈥� of Satan.
Despite the backlash, the pair won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Unholy later in the night. A historical moment as Petras became the first transgender woman to win a Grammy.
