The musician told GQ: 'Those golden abs, I look like a superhero.' According to the video, fans likened the look to the 'Star Wars' character C-3PO. The singer has already teased new music and signaled that he's evolving from his 'Montero' debut-album phase. Lil Nas Xs metallic-gold suit of armor was his second of three outfits at the 2021 Met Gala but this look had a more futuristic aesthetic. Most of his previous high-profile appearances involved televised awards shows, such as the Grammy Awards, and co-headlining gigs at concerts and festivals. The social media star is no stranger to the stage but had yet to embark on a tour, let alone a solo outing. On Twitter, he captioned the announcement: “all of u better come or i will cry on instagram live.” 'I am Lil Nas X, and I present to you my first tour.” Everyone’s allowed - except gay people,' he quips, true to his penchant for trolling his haters.
The radically queer musician's head-turning red-carpet looks, BET Awards kiss and satanic lap dance all make appearances.
“Hello, I am Montero, and I welcome you to my event,” the 23-year-old said in Tuesday's video announcement, which plays like a highlight reel of controversial moments from his nascent career. Reps for Lil Nas X did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Times' requests for comment. It's unclear why he chose such venues for his first tour, but much of what the groundbreaking country/trap/rap/pop star does is hard to explain.
