Between his popular hits “Old Town Road” and “Sun Goes Down,” Lil Nas X has ruled the music charts. Most notably, the star was able to reach the number 1 spot on Billboard Hot 100 with his legendary piece “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” It can only be assumed with high expectations that MONTERO: THE ALBUM will follow in the singles’ record-breaking footsteps.
More recently, Lil Nas X performed “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” during last week’s 2021 BET awards. The singer stunned the crowd in dazzling, Egyptian-themed clothing, honoring Michael Jackson’s classic song “Remember the Time.”
Dancing within the golden, elaborate set, Lil Nas X not only celebrated queer culture but made BET history by sharing a passionate kiss with a male background dancer. Watching Lil Nas X embrace his identity has inspired supporters not only to accept but truly love themselves.
As Lil Nas X remains a busy bee, one thing is certain: he is making his name as an admirable individual and artist. Until more news is released about MONTERO: THE ALBUM, be sure to check out Lil Nas X’s 2021 BET stage above.
