Adam Lambert Is Blown Away By Lil Nas X’s Rock Star Vibe

In an interview with iHeartRadio on YouTube, Adam Lambert mentioned the names that have impressed him throughout his life and journey while discussing his career and new album. He named Lil Nas X as one of his inspirations and shared his opinions on the rapper.

Last month, Lambert released his latest solo album, ‘High Drama,’ and garnered the appreciation of many people, particularly members of the LGBTQ+ community, as he has been a dedicated member and advocate for them. When the album debuted in 2022, he dedicated one of the tracks, ‘Ordinary World,’ to the victims of the shootings at an LGBTQ+ club.

Despite being an inspiration to his community, the musician did not have many gay role models from the music industry in his childhood, as he mentioned in his recent interview. After listing Elton John and George Michael as one of the few idols he had as a child, Lambert named Lil Nas X as one of his current inspirations.

The musician said he appreciated Lil Nas X’s bold demeanor and was astonished by what he ‘had pulled off.’ He explained how the rapper had a ‘rockstar vibe’ with his direct and non-caring attitude towards people’s hateful remarks.

Lambert’s words about the rapper read:

“I’ve been blown away by what Lil Nas X has pulled off. I mean, he is so great and clearly done with tongue in cheek. You know, he’s funny. He’s bold. He’s fearless. I love that rockstar vibe. I think he’s very cool.”

The approach toward the LGBTQ+ community in the music industry has changed for the better over time, allowing musicians from the community to be themselves. According to Adam Lambert, Lil Nas X has reflected this spirit well with his bold and honest attitude, which gave him a rockstar aura and inspired Lambert.
