Possibly offending homophobic uncles all over the world (Trevor Noah said it, not us) with each body roll and hip shake, Lil Nas X just slayed his medley performance at the 2022 GRAMMYs.

The boundary-breaking, headline-making musician performed a medley of three of his hits including "Dead Right Now," "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)," and "Industry Baby” in a trio of looks, so obvi, let’s talk about it.

Starting things off with “Dead Right Now,” looking like a zaddy Darth Vader, in a sparkly black cloak, with a dancing drumline behind him dressed in similar vibes, Lil Nas then shook things up by revisiting some old controversy.

After removing the cloak to reveal a bedazzled one-sleeved crop top and glittering black trousers, Nas called out haters of “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” by showcasing angry tweets and news footage about his controversial music video on the giant backdrop screen, before returning to the stage to belt out a snippet of the track.

Next, after another fit change, Jack Harlow joined Lil Nas on stage for a live TV censored, but still hella swaggy performance of “Industry Baby.” After Jack departed the stage, Lil Nas brought the party out into the crowd to wrap his performance up, which ended with a standing ovation.
