One such artist was EDM poster boy Diplo, who even appeared in the original music video. Now, Diplo (real name Thomas Wesley Pentz) will appear alongside Lil Nas X and Cyrus along with K-pop superstars BTS for a star-studded “Old Town Road All-Stars” performance at this year's GRAMMY Awards. 

The performance will reportedly feature all of the artists together for an “Old Town Road” medley during is a special segment of the GRAMMYs. The Recording Academy announced it as one of two special segments in the 2020 ceremony. Accompanying it will be a performance of "I Sing The Body Electric" from the film Fame featuring John Legend, Gary Clark Jr., Camila Cabello, and others in a tribute to GRAMMY executive producer Ken Ehrlich. 

Pentz' performance alongside BTS, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Lil Nas X will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on January 26th. The GRAMMY Awards begin at 8:00 PM EST on CBS.
