Lil Nas X's Dizzying Grammy Performance Had BTS, A Kobe Tribute, And So Much More

if you have at any time felt Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" to be overplayed, you could reconsider right after seeing his Grammy efficiency. The ascendant rapper's appearance on Sunday night (January 26) was billed as a "all-star" extravaganza. Honestly, that might have been a understatement, considering all of the stars who joined Nas X for his mega-rendition of the largest song of 2019.


The dizzying rodeo started in a nondescript living room where a Kobe Bryant jersey was thoughtfully draped over a chair. Nas X strummed his guitar on the couch while launching into the starting of "Old Town Road," yet he wasn't alone for long. With a couple of energetic hops, he bounded into an adjoining room where everyone's fave K-pop superstars, BTS, were waiting for him (we've all had that dream before, right?!). RM took lead with his verse from the "Seoul Town Road" version of Nas X's hit, while the rest of the sort chimed in with backing vocals.


Then it was on to a slime green-coated room inspired by Young Thug's remix, and then a ranch-style room where Mason Ramsey and Diplo joined in the fun. As Diplo enthusiastically strummed a banjo, the 13-year-old yodeler sang his twangy little heart out. And you'd better believe Billy Ray Cyrus was on deck as well, busting out his beloved verse from the O.G. "OTR" remix.


Soon after one last chorus from Nas X and his entire, eclectic posse, the rapper pulled off a whirlwind costume change, reemerging in a floor-length trench coat that looked like something Neo would've worn in The Matrix. Without skipping a beat, he launched into "Rodeo" with one final special guest: the one and only Nas. Just once you thought you'd seen it all.


Lil Nas X's efficiency came right after he took residence his very first Grammy. Earlier in the night, he won the prize for Best Pop Duo/Group Efficiency for his Cyrus-featuring version of "Old Town Road." The superstar is nominated for an added five awards including Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year. No matter what occurs, at least we know he has plenty of companions to party with right following the show.
