Coinciding
with his debut album’s release, the Montero (Call Me By Your Name) singer shared
the That’s What I Want video on 17 September.
Directed by
Stillz, it quickly sees Lil Nas X take a lover after he makes eye contact with
a player at an American football game.
Before you
know it, the pair are having sex in the locker room’s showers after one of the
best product placement moments of all time in the form of Lil Nas X ripping
open a Durex condom with his mouth.
They then go
camping and do the same in a tent in a scene
appearing to reference Brokeback Mountain, with the two of them now in
love.
Lil Nas X
wants to take their romance one step further, so he drives to his partner’s
house dressed in a suit to see him.
To the Sun
Goes Down hitmaker’s horror, he is greeted by his lover’s wife and child and
proceeds to go home and drown his sorrows.
The
22-year-old then walks down the aisle in an over-the-top white wedding
dress, where
he is greeted by Billy Porter who hands him a guitar.
The video ends
with Lil Nas X crying black mascara tears as he plays the instrument in a
moment almost as iconic as Lauren
Conrad crying her infamous single black tear on The Hills.
Within the
video’s first five hours, it had already been viewed over 1.6 million times and
been liked by over 262,000 people.
“WE ALREADY
HIT #1 ON YOUTUBE,” Lil Nas X celebrated on Twitter.
Lil Nas X’s
highly anticipated debut album features collaborations
from the likes of Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Elton John and Jack Harlow.
