This year's annual Grammy awards just kicked off a few moments ago, but it turns out openly gay rapper Lil Nas X already won big!

The "Old Town Road" rapper won the trophies for Best Video and Best Pop Group Performance, the latter of which he is sharing with collaborator Billy Ray Cryus.

Considering all the viral, crossover success the single had in 2019, a Grammy win is totally well-deserved! Congrats, Lil Nas X!
