How Did Lil Nas X's EP Land a Grammy Nomination for Album of the Year?

He made it! Lil Nas X won his first trophy at the 2020 Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 26, following his record-breaking success with his ubiquitous single, “Old Town Road.”

Already anointed a style icon by W magazine for “exploring uncharted territory in men’s fashion” and “redefining masculine expression,” Lil Nas X counted year-end best-dressed lists among his 2019 streaming and airplay accolades. Describing his fashion sense as “very experimental,” the rapper runs down a few of his top looks from last year.

“There are so many layers to the song,” Columbia Records chairman Ron Perry says of “Old Town Road.” Just scratching the surface of its beat alone uncovers the connection between a 19-year-old Dutch Internet producer and veteran industrial act Nine Inch Nails, who are now forever intertwined in pop culture — along with Billy Ray Cyrus.

“I got some big things coming, I can’t wait for people to see it.” Lil Nas X was teasing his future projects as he hit the carpet at Spotify’s Best New Artist Grammy Party at The Lot in Los Angeles, CA. 

A year ago, no one really knew who Lil Nas X was.

The Billie Eilish vs. Lizzo throwdown has dominated the 2020 Grammy conversation, but there’ll be plenty of other nail-biters when the awards are handed out on Jan. 26. Will Lil Nas X upset girl power in album of the year, record of the year and/or best new artist? Will country legend and 14-time nominee Tanya Tucker finally take home a gong? And will Ariana Grande cap her return to the Grammy telecast with an armful of hardware?

On Thursday (Jan. 23), three nights before the annual Grammy awards, all eight best new artist nominees delivered stadium-level performances to a much more intimate crowd at Spotify’s Best New Artist party at West Hollywood’s The Lot Studios.

The 2020 Super Bowl is almost here and many of the ads that will air during the big game are already hitting the Internet.

Was Lil Nas X the pop culture phenomenon of 2019, or was it BTS? Either way, the Grammys have it covered — and within a single number. The Recording Academy and CBS officially confirmed Thursday that the rapper and the K-pop group will perform together on the awards telecast Jan. 26.

In his last Grammy telecast as executive producer, Ken Ehrlich has assembled at least two more "Grammy Moments" -- the special, one-of-a-kind assemblages of talent for which he is best known.BTS, Diplo, Mason Ramsey and "surprise guests" will join Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus for "Old Town Road All-Stars." The Lil Nas X/Cyrus megahit, which logged a record-setting 19 weeks at No.

Lil Nas X is hitting the GRAMMYs stage with some special guests!

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus will perform their massive “Old Town Road” at the 2020 Grammys, the Recording Academy has announced. Joining them for the performance, dubbed “Old Town Road All-Stars,” will be K-pop superstars BTS, Diplo, and 13-year-old country singer Mason Ramsey, all of whom have remixed the song. The Recording Academy also promises “other special guests” for the performance.

Back in November 2019, ARMY was pissed beyond belief when BTS didn't earn a single Grammy nomination for their super-successful and chart-topping album, Map of the Soul: Persona. The displeasure was shown evidently on Twitter as the fandom was hoping for the Bangtan Boys to make history and earn the K-pop genre their first Grammy nomination.

They might have not got a Grammys 2020 nomination but that might not stop BTS from walking the Grammys 2020 red carpet. BTS will be sharing the stage with Lil Nas X for the performance, Variety reports.

Get ready for 'Seoul Town Road'

Lil Nas X is opening up about using marijuana to cope with the deaths of a loved one and popular members of the rap community, his decision to come out and his family.

The Grammys 2020 will be held on January 26, and the nominations were announced in November 2019. Going by the nominations list, Lizzo, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X are leading the pack.

The first Christmas back after leaving home can be an anxiety-provoking experience, as countless college students would attest. What was it like for Montero Lamar Hill, the 20-year-old who reinvented himself as Lil Nas X, to return to Atlanta after spending the previous year building to six Grammy nominations and charting the biggest song, well, ever? Quite simply: He was Santa Claus.

The nominations for the 12th annual Shorty Awards were released Tuesday (Jan. 21), and those honored for best use of social media include music all-stars Beyoncé, Zendaya, Lil Nas X, J Balvin, Demi Lovato, Paula Abdul, Anderson .Paak and more.This year, TikTok celebs landed nominations in far more categories than just their branded "TikTokker of the Year" prize, including Food & Drink, Meme of the Year, Weird and Beauty.

Lil Nas X literally took his horse to the old town road in a new teaser for an upcoming Doritos Super Bowl commercial.
