We’re only halfway through the show, and Lil Nas X has already given a performance that’ll make VMA history. Lil Nas X made his homecoming entrance by performing “Industry Baby†alongside Jack Harlow with a pink marching band following him. He then hit a streamy shower dance to transition to his hit single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).†Lil Nas X is nominated for six awards tonight, including Video of the Year, and is five days away from dropping his debut album, Montero, on September 17.
Lil Nas X is known for giving memorable performances. Earlier this year, he did a pants-splitting rendition of “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)†on Saturday Night Live. Regardless of if his performances go as planned, he continues his iconic sense of humor on and off-screen, tweeting to his audience if they liked his performance.
