It played at my school dance last night.
It played during recess on Thursday in my class.
Same but it was a week ago they played a remix one
My friend showed a teacher it.
Ok and
As soon as anything goes mainstream, it kinda goes to crap.
Daniel Sambar agreed.
Daniel Sambar cough tik Tok cough
I blame tik tok 🙃
PrimeLaughter me too
*I'm staring right at you, TikTok.*
Yesterday my teacher played this song in class because everyone was asking for it. Literally so many people were singing along, and then there’s me, who had never heard it before.
Just one of those things that catches on
I wonder what kind of music Lil Nas X is gone drop next, it might be hard for him to top this massive top trend hit.
Billboard : this is not country enough
Lil nas x: hold my shotgun
Billboard: this isn’t country enough
Billie ray cyrus: JACKSON GET MA GUITAR
Can't wait for his album 🐎🔥
Black people dont need acceptance in something WE created. Fair play to Billy Ray Cyrus. He rode the wave of popularity and saw the where the trend was heading. He was bold enough to go against the grain, take a risk and duet with Lil' Nas X. This kind of nuance is the reason he's still relevant after 'Achy Breaky Heart'. Bucking the trends and watching the youth, moving with the times always extends your career, case in point Madonna...
Country songs hits this is the first time I ever listened to country songs and I actually love the song I think a lil country music mixed with rap will blow up everywhere u heard
More country trap please! This song is my favorite of the year. I have listened to this song over 50 times already and have shown my friends at work who listen to country music and they were all smiles.
I saw one a girl made on Tiktok, Diamond Eyed Joe is the name I believe!
Hey Insider.... Since you posted this on May 4........... *MAY DE FOURTH BE WIT U*
Good stuff
Bruh she says little nas x. Its pronounced lil nas x
@@gabrieltarikhomar1447 bro why you saying that
@@orlandogomez235 i know but in his rapper name its pronounced "lil"
@@orlandogomez235 no one says "little uzi vert"
Bruh nobody cares
@@gabrieltarikhomar1447. Hahahaha. Classic 7 year old
I’m not first but I’m early
I was at the air port today and i always make some sort of derpy epic intro and i should of done this😂
It's honestly just a good song
CZcams recommended this and it was 18 minutes ago!
The biggest song tiktok ruined so much that its actually good.
This could very well be a script for a satirical comedy flick 😂
he protecc
he attacc
but most importantly
he got the horses in the bacc
no one:
me at 2am: watching this
Yassss
👍😍History is being made right here!! I absolutely love this!! So happy for his success. He had to be born so this could happen!! Glad Billy Ray could share in his success. 💞
I bet you $1 that some people sometimes hear im gonna take my horse to the hotel room lol
that billboard knock out bit was on point
People: YOU CANT MIX COUNTRY SONGS
LilNasX= Hold my beer
4:03 was my school yesterday for real tho
They did the same to Beyoncé too!
Daddy lessons is still one of my favourite country songs
MUSIC WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
I live down in Texas. You bet your horse saddles me and my family be jamming to this song out on the ranch.
I used to follow Nas Maraji and do those threads all the time!! Its cool to see him go from nothing to something
*gets taken down*
Billy Ray Cyrus: *hold my geetar*
You mean geee tar
You mean yeetar
Who else is watching because they think this song sucks but there friends sing this nonstop and love it
Billboard just jealous because a guy of colour made a better song that country lovers and r&b lovers both like and could listen to at the same time. They just ain't ready for change. Because apparently all country songs have to have a girl with blonde/brown hair blue/brown eyes and a perfect smile, and don't forget the beer
EARLY YAYYYY
So you didn’t mention that it became a meme? It’s like the n.1 reason why it got so popular
Can somebody tell me the name of the song in the thumbnail pls i forgot cus that shit used to hit hard🔥🔥🔥
3:56
Me and ma mates on the bus going on a school excursion...
Edit: but with deeper voices and we’re not little
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhh
Now u got the news insider
lol i was just listening to old town road!
It certainly ignited a conversation as to what is considered country music. Personally, I think it’s much better than these snap track backed country songs these days. It’s a fresh take on a conservative genre and a shift in musical taste in the country fan base: I mean look at his performance at StageCoach, in the Mecca of country music he got a standing ovation.
The real reason it’s not considered country is because the song didn’t go through the Nashville Gatekeepers: Sony Music Nashville.
YeeHaw 🤠😩
Watch Azerrz old town road, but with thanos
YASS
Billy Ray Cyrus made a smart play hopping on the remix
Masterpiece old town road is
Country music has changed listen to country music now to compare where it was 20 years ago It's sound so different. In my opinion this song is country music this song brings everyone together that don't listen country or hip hop music.
The song had my ass laughing
me: old town road is a really good song
TikTok: LETS GO RUIN IT
It feels like the only reason that people like old town road is because of tik tok and that kinda pisses me off
I don't really like the song, but Lil Nas X did something creative, which I respect.
that’s how cowboy works
Is it okay to hear that song everyday for at least on hour since 2 weeks and not really hearing other music?
*he protecc*
*he acttacc*
*he got the jellys beans in the bacc*
Because that shit is fire 🔥
My life in one song but i have 2 ponies and one horse
It came out 2 months ago? I felt like I was listening to it for 2 years.
🤠

Sometimes I wonder why we even keep trying. Sometimes hope is its own noose....
True Lyrics:Old town road
Me:Hotel Rome

V if were same
I said hotel room
Yeehaw
Country is just an extension of blues music. There should not be genres anymore just peoples love for music. Kane Brown is an awesome country singer with his song "Heaven", but does not get enough exposure. Many persons did not hear of him until he did the collaboration with Khalid.
I like the Hair Style of Alana
1:33 what’s the song in this part
Carry On
Dear apple, *PLEASE* make the sad cowboy emoji official. You’d save lives if you did.
Its still one of the best songs ever and also if its meme bass boosted
Yeee im gonna take ma horse to the old town road im gonna
nice shoes men
