Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus strode into the 2019 BET Awards today to perform their country-rap smash hit Old Town Road.
Although the song wasn’t nominated at the BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards, it’s no stretch to say Nas and Cyrus absolutely stole the show with their at once baffling and delightful partnership, even beginning their set on horseback across the BET Awards’ red carpet.
Lil Nas X released his debut 7 EP just last week. Along with ‘Old Town Road’, the record features six brand new songs, including ‘Rodeo’ ft. Cardi B.
Watch a clip of the performance below, alongside some of the best Twitter reactions.
