Sam Smith Invites Melbourne To An “Unholy” Halloween Bash
In a thrilling Halloween announcement, Sam Smith is gearing up to give fans in Melbourne, Australia, an unforgettable night of spooktacular entertainment. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter recently took to social media to encourage ticket-holders for their Halloween show to embrace the spirit of the season by dressing up in their most unholy attire.
“I’m so excited for Melbourne show because it’s Halloween and we’re gonna have an incredible time and if you want, and if you can, I would love it if you could dress up for Halloween,” the Stay With Me singer, 31, in a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Sam, known for hits like Lay Me Down and a recent collaboration with Kim Petras, expressed their excitement about seeing the creative costumes that fans would come up with for this special occasion. “I’d love to see costumes. I’d love you guys to get unholy with us on Halloween. It would be amazing,” they added.
But the Halloween festivities don’t seem to be stopping there as Sam is also inviting fans to participate in the #Unholyhalloween TikTok challenge. This viral challenge encourages fans to lip-sync to Unholy and showcase their fabulous costumes, adding an extra layer of fun and interaction to the event.
In a heartwarming moment, Sam reflected on their recent Grammy win for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance alongside Kim Petras. The night marked a significant milestone for Kim, who celebrated her first Grammy win. During her acceptance speech, she expressed her gratitude to the trans artists who paved the way for her historic achievement as a transgender woman in the music industry.
Words of admiration flowed between the collaborators, as Kim couldn’t contain her love for Sam when the song’s nomination was announced last November.
Sam is currently on tour, delighting fans with their latest studio album, Gloria. The excitement continues as he recently released a dazzling dance-pop single, In the City, in collaboration with Charli XCX. The song, produced by a talented team including Charli, ILYA, Omer Fedi, A.G. Cook, and George Daniel of The 1975, promises to evoke memories of unforgettable nights in the town, inspiring listeners to hit the club ASAP for their next adventure.
Before the song was released, Charli stood up for Sam after witnessing a barrage of hateful comments directed toward them on social media. In a TikTok video, Charli shared her astonishment at the negativity and expressed her profound support for Smith, praising their strength in the face of adversity.
“Hi everyone. I’m about to release a song with Sam Smith, and the experience has been really interesting,” Charli began. “Never in my life have I seen someone receive so many hateful comments online. It’s been really disheartening.”
