LOS ANGELES — Kim Petras made history on Sunday as the first transgender woman to win the Grammy Award for pop duo/group performance.
The singer shared the prize with Sam Smith for their smash-hit collaboration, “Unholy.” During her speech, Petras spoke about the importance of the groundbreaking moment and paid tribute to her late friend, Sophie, a Scottish-born music producer who was a trailblazer for the trans community.
Sophie, whose full name was Sophie Xeon, fell from the balcony of an Athens apartment in Greece before she died in January 2021.
