How much a difference 12 months make.
If there’s one person who had an incredible year, it’s Lil Nas X. He became a massive star with his own and “Old Town Road” made history as the longest-running number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is undoubtedly a country-pop song with elements hip-hop but it took time for the country world to accept that. The song was actually booted f the Billboard Country charts because it wasn’t deemed country enough which sparked a widespread backlash.
Nearly a year after its release and the question whether Lil Nas X is country enough shouldn’t even be asked. He is now an ficial winner a Country Music Award. Before it was broadcasted, Good Morning America announced that Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road (Remix)
won the CMA for Musical Event Of the Year. Lil Nas X responded with excitement to the announcement on Twitter.
Although Lil Nas X’s career just began this year, he has been tirelessly grinding since the success “Old Town Road.” He announced a few months ago that he’d be taking a break from music. Truthfully, a bit self-care at this point can only do him good. Additionally, with the song’s recent diamond status, Lil Nas X could likely live f the royalties “Old Town Road” for a minute.
