Anderson.Paak gets in on the act with a jazzy interpretation.
TR has finally commented on the Ghosts sample in Old Town Road! He's okay with it, and doesn't want to make a big deal about it because he wants the focus to be on the people who used the sample to make something different with it.

I think Trent & Atticus have already won a CMA award for this. They announced a few winners ahead of the broadcast & Old Town won country event of the year. It was the only category the song was nominated in. Will make a nice door stop for Trent's bathroom, haha. Eddie Vedder uses a MTV award for that purpose. In the meanwhile, Trent conquers the universe...
An article about the aforementioned CMA and Trent's amazing tweet image:

What did I miss? What is this song? Wow! 1 BILLION VIEWS on Youtube!!? Goddamn!
(I've seen this thread, but I thought that "rapper uses sample" was not newsworthy. So I didn't read anything.)
Trent's tombstone will now say "Did absolutely nothing. Won a CMA Award."
Mariqueen posted a great photo related to this on her IG story. I'd post it but it seems like going to check it out for yourself is more appropriate.
Forget EGOT, Trent is 3/4 of the way to EGOC now! Bring on that Emmy for the Watchmen score!
According to this article, Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt won a CMA award for single and video of the year and those categories don’t recognise songwriters so Trent never got his due, so this is well overdue!

Several Grammy nominations going to Lil Nas X, including Record of the Year for the "Old Town Road" remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.
EDIT: As Billboard points out, TR & AR aren't nominated in that category as record producers even though they are credited as such on the track, which is either a snub from the nominating committee... or another deliberate choice on the part of Reznor and Ross to stay out of the spotlight.

TR/AR or no TR/AR, Old Town Road has won Lil Nas X (and Billy Ray Cyrus) a Grammy for Best Pop Group/Duo Performance!

What the odds for a full NIN cover (even a playful one) during the next tour cycle? I mean, there they all are, doing a Ghosts segment and well... then... Mmm.. duh duh... I'm gonna take my horse....
Come on... Trent in chaps and a cowboy hat.
