Aaaaaaaand FINALLY *exhales in gay*. Lil Nas X has dropped the video for ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ – and it’s everything. Wonderfully queer and naughty in all the right ways. 

He also revealed that the new album will be out in summer – woohoo! 

The musician – who picked up a Grammy in 2019 for his mega-hit version of Old Town Road – can be seen playing Adam whilst getting seduced in the Garden of Eden, and then dancing in hell to the devil (also played by himself) – who he then gives a little lap dance to. So cute.

Anyway, we’re pretty excited for the new album. Here’s the video for MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name), for which we are LIVING:
