Sam Smith was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night (January 21) – watch them perform ‘Gloria’ and ‘Unholy’ with Kim Petras below.

The singer is releasing their new album – also called ‘Gloria’ – next week (January 27), and shared its title track the day before the performance.

Smith described the song as “my queer love hymn, saying life is a song to Gloria, the thing I can’t put a word to. I don’t know if it’s nature or a feminine energy inside me that I’m setting free.”

It was also the first single for both artists to hit the Number One spot.
