It's Montero season.
As the days wind down until the release of Lil Nas X's debut album Montero, the artist is in full-on promo mode. For the past few days he's been releasing images from his running stunt, intimating that he is pregnant with the album and is soon to give birth. But now, he's up for some sponcon.
In a few new video ads for Uber Eats, Lil Nas X appears alongside Sir Elton John. The pair are set to collaborate on Montero, in a track titled "One of Me." They are also set to work together on John's upcoming Lockdown Sessions album. But before it all, the two have an Uber Eats campaign for the app's "Tonight I'll Be Eating" series where — for one of the videos — they dress up as each other.
“It’s been absolutely wonderful partnering with Lil Nas X, one of the most influential voices in pop culture, and with Uber Eats, my faithful favorite for everything delicious,” John said in a statement. “From taking selfies to deciding to swap looks on set, working together has been a blast.”
In one of the videos, Elton John seemingly dresses up as Lil nas X going to the grammy's in a pink cowboy suit. Lil Nas X, instead, dresses as John in the iconic Big Bird look made by Bob Mackie. He wore the look for a performance of "Crocodile Rock" on The Muppet Show in 1972.
