Though he didn’t take home any Grammy Awards on Sunday night, singer Lil Nas X proved once again that a performer can win the night without taking home a trophy.The 22-year-old received five nominations going into the ceremony Sunday evening, including nods for Record of the Year for his song “Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and Album of the Year for his album Montero.
He also took to the stage during the show to perform a medley of his hits while wearing a rhinestone mesh halter top.Apparently, the sight of Lil Nas X’s muscular midriff triggered some viewers–namely former Fox and Friends host Greg Kelly.
Kelly, who now contributes to conservative network Newsmax and maintains his own right-wing podcast took to Twitter to chastize Lil Nas X for his performance.Related: Lil Nas X powerfully explains why he was “delusional” to chase his dreams“Lil NAS has a BIG PROBLEM (And so does America)—-knock yourself out NAS.
