Answer 4

Pfizer was one of many official sponsors for the 2023 Grammys. Although the official Grammy website did not have them listed as a sponsor, there had been many Pfizer mentions during the Grammys, and Pfizer later came out and said that they had sponsored the overall event, not an individual performance.

Nice work digging deeper and finding a source that wasn't already used by others!

Answer 5

It is public information that Pfizer was one of the sponsors for this year's Grammys. Although they were not the only company. Celebrities showing up wearing predominantly red outfits have sparked wild social media conspiracies linking the awards show to Satanic controversy. Companies such as IBM, Google Pixel, Mastercard, GREY GOOSE, Amazon Music, JBL, City National Bank, United Airlines, Hilton, People, Frontera, FIJI Water, and SiriusXM also sponsored the event.

Answer 6

This is true, as the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer did sponsor the 2023 Grammys.

A representative from Pfizer noted this: "We sponsored the overall Grammy's event, not any particular performance. Beyond that, we don't comment on our efforts to raise awareness"

The general public was not seen too keen on seeing this ad by Pfizer, as it appeared immediately following the performance of "Unholy" by Kim Petras and Sam Smith; many have been calling this performance "satanic".

This is backlash regarding this sponsorship because of the way it was featured during the show, immediately following this performance.

This led to the conclusion that Pfizer must be an official sponsor of this year's Grammy Awards."

Answer 10

According to Snopes, this is true. But Pzifer sponsored the entire event and not specifically Sam Smith and Kim Petras performance. The Twitter account makes it seem like they were only sponsored by Pzifer. Elijah is an outspoken conservative so tweets from his account should be triple-checked given his bias.
