Lil’ Nas X blessed the stage tonight at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. As expected, the rising star performed his hit single, “Panini.”
Similar to the song’s visual, the performance featured a futuristic feel. Accompanied by backup dancers, Lil’ Nas X wore a space suit like costume. Unlike his previous performances, he did appear solo in an attempt to put the spotlight on himself moving forward.
This is an amazing feat for the young artist who went from being a virtual enigma in the music industry to a household name. Most recently, he officially broke the record for most consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Not to mention, he’s continuing to perform well thanks to his follow-up singles, “Panini” and “Rodeo” featuring Cardi B.
Lil’ Nas X’s night doesn’t end with his MTV VMA debut. Tonight, he’s nominated for eight awards. While we wait to see how many awards he’ll take home, check out his debut on the big stage above.
