*I'm staring right at you, TikTok.*
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
Can't wait for his album 🐎🔥
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.
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!
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
Hey Insider.... Since you posted this on May 4........... *MAY DE FOURTH BE WIT U*

People: YOU CANT MIX COUNTRY SONGS
LilNasX= Hold my beer
I live down in Texas. You bet your horse saddles me and my family be jamming to this song out on the ranch.
I’m not first but I’m early
that billboard knock out bit was on point
CZcams recommended this and it was 18 minutes ago!
Good stuff
he protecc
he attacc
but most importantly
he got the horses in the bacc
They did the same to Beyoncé too!
Daddy lessons is still one of my favourite country songs
I bet you $1 that some people sometimes hear im gonna take my horse to the hotel room lol
no one:
me at 2am: watching this
SOUNDS COUNTRY 2 ME!!! I HAVE BECAME ADDICTED 2 THIS COOL ASS SONG!!!👏👏👏
This could very well be a script for a satirical comedy flick 😂
Can somebody tell me the name of the song in the thumbnail pls i forgot cus that shit used to hit hard🔥🔥🔥
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...
Now u got the news insider
3:56
Me and ma mates on the bus going on a school excursion...
Edit: but with deeper voices and we’re not little
It came out 2 months ago? I felt like I was listening to it for 2 years.
Yassss
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.
Is it okay to hear that song everyday for at least on hour since 2 weeks and not really hearing other music?
I used to follow Nas Maraji and do those threads all the time!! Its cool to see him go from nothing to something
So you didn’t mention that it became a meme? It’s like the n.1 reason why it got so popular
Masterpiece old town road is
MUSIC WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
Because that shit is fire 🔥
Billy Ray Cyrus made a smart play hopping on the remix
Watch Azerrz old town road, but with thanos
2:02 is that red dead redemption 2 i see
Where can I buy bill's geetar?
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.
*he protecc*
*he acttacc*
*he got the jellys beans in the bacc*
I like 2 types of music country and western :)
*gets taken down*
Billy Ray Cyrus: *hold my geetar*
You mean geee tar
You mean yeetar
It's honestly just a good song
Its still one of the best songs ever and also if its meme bass boosted
The song had my ass laughing
“Horses in the back
Horse tack is attached”
1:33 what’s the song in this part
Carry On
I love the song I'm going to take my horse to the hotel road😂😂😂😂😊😂😂😂😂😁😁😁
Omg my dad loves this song
Nas maraj and Lil Nas X are the same person ?! I did not expect that
It even took over my whole school
lol i was just listening to old town road!
Sometimes I wonder why we even keep trying. Sometimes hope is its own noose....
*I got the horses in the bac*
that’s how cowboy works
EARLY YAYYYY
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.
Yeee im gonna take ma horse to the old town road im gonna
You know what else to get internet by storm?
*Hit or miss.*
Where is it now?
*The meme cemetery.*
Where will old town road be soon?
*Number one on trending for the next 223 years.*
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
Good for Lil Nas X. I'm glad for him.
