Il trionfo annunciato di Lil Nas X, icona queer della generazione Z.
Il rapper, gay dichiarato, si è concesso un fantastico live di “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”, eletto video dell’anno, con una dozzina di ballerin in mutande fucsia, a chiusura di un’annata straordinaria e in prospettiva primo disco, finalmente in arrivo.
Mai si era visto un video tanto esplicito e queer trionfare ai VMA 2021. Segno dei tempi che cambiano
