Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Keith Urban [1] are took their horses to the CMA Fest TV special on Aug. 4! The trio initially united at the country festival in Nashville on June 8 and delivered a power-packed live rendition of Lil Nas X and Cyrus's remixed hit "Old Town Road [2]." But thanks to ABC's airing of the performance, fans relived the experience on the small screen.
During the show, Lil Nas X was clad in a bright orange ensemble with a white cowboy hat, while Cyrus rocked a denim outfit and Urban wore a t-shirt with jeans. As soon as the song's first few chords began to play, the crowd went wild [3] — which is understandable considering "Old Town Road" is a bona fide bop [4]. After the show, Lil Nas X shared a clip from their set, adding, "Thank u billy & keith !!!" Keith also expressed his gratitude for getting to play with Lil Nas X and Cyrus on Instagram, writing, "Nas's t shirt says LOVE EVERYBODY ...... I can't think of a better caption than that right there!!! @lilnasx and @billyraycyrus - thank u for the invite- I loved playing with u both and hope we get to do it again!!!!"
Can we get a Lil Nas X, Cyrus, and Urban collab album next? Please and thank you.
