How to Watch ‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’ Online

Lil Nas X has become an icon of the American music scene in a relatively short time. Daring to push the boundaries of hip-hop and country, his story has gone largely untold until now. “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero,” the HBO Original documentary which debuts on Saturday, Jan. 27 on Max aims to change that. The film takes fans along with Lil Nas X on the “Long Live Montero” tour, going behind-the-scenes for an intimate portrait of the artist and his work. You can watch with a subscription to Max.

About 'Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero'

The 2019 hit single “Old Town Road” was Lil Nas X’s introduction to superstardom. He’s captivated audiences with his bold, unapologetic style ever since, and in 2022/2023 he embarked on his “Long Live Montero” tour. HBO’s cameras went with him, in order to present fans with this unique picture of his meteoric rise — and the struggles that come along with it.

Produced in the style of Lil Nas X’s intricate stage shows, the documentary is divided into three parts — Rebirth, Transformation, and Becoming. The film gives audiences a close-up look at the artist himself, raw and unfiltered, as he discusses issues surrounding his work, his place as a Black and queer icon, and how deeply personal his music is to him.
