Watch BTS Join Lil Nas X for His Huge 'Old Town Road' Grammys Performance
BTS made history performing at the Grammys for the first time tonight, and they joined one of the evening's most star-studded numbers. The k-pop band was part of Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus' "Old Town Road All Stars" performance; RM and Lil Nas X did a version of "Old Town Road" together, titled "Seoul Town Road," that was released last year.
Lil Nas X joined RM, V, Suga, Jimin, Jin, J-Hope, and Jungkook briefly during the segment where they did verses from "Seoul Town Road" and danced together. Then the boys later rejoined Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus to end the song.

This is a big night for Lil Nas X, who has six nominations, including three for "Old Town Road": Record of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Music Video. He is additionally nominated for Best New Artist, Album of the Year (7), and Best Rap/Sung Performance ("Panini"). BTS has no nominations this year.
Ariana Grande gave the world the first tease that BTS would be performing at the Grammys when she shared a photo with them (all but Suga, technically) at rehearsal this week. "look who i bumped into at rehearsal :)" she captioned it. Grande is also a performer tonight.
