Our Favorite Instagram Pics that Show Why Lil Nas X is Our Dreamboy

Lil Nas X, a.k.a., Montero, the sensational queer artist who never fails to break boundaries and entertain us, has entered his "Dreamboy" era.

This new era has the artist reaching new heights, feeling more free, and having more fun than ever before. We are watching Montero fall back in love with sharing his spectacular music and introducing us to his extraordinary visual storytelling, and we've been having so much fun seeing him enjoy the process of showing off everything he's doing.

We love to see the young queer creative absorb the spotlight that shines on him and make his own magic with it! Another thing we always love to see: Lil Nas X thirst traps. The "Light Again" artist drops them in a casual way, usually by way of shirtless mirror selfies as part of a carousel post, but sometimes his thirst traps are selfies from inside the bathtub, and sometimes it's a red hot, sweaty sauna pic that gets us feeling dizzy with desire.

He keeps us wanting more, while making sure we know he's both sexy and talented beyond belief. These are some of our favorites.

This sauna selfie is red hot in more ways than one. Yes, the room is filled with the red hues of the sweaty, sexy, shirtless artist soaking up all that healing light therapy –but it's also an angled-upwards look at his abs, defined and dripping from the heat, making us sweat without ever stepping foot in a heated room. This carousel post includes some pictures of Lil Nas X's home, and a shirtless mirror selfie where his abs look phenomenal, but we keep coming back to this first photo. It's just so hot.

We simply cannot look away from this photo. Between this slayful pose, his stand-out muscles, and the 'sex' belt buckle on his jeans, we're breathless just looking at it. One of the top comments says "it's giving BAWDY" which... exactly. Almost all the other comments on this post are just many, many fire emojis –which is so, so true.
