The rapper made a cameo appearance at Boston Calling Saturday to perform his viral hit “Old Town Road,” and followed it up with a trip downtown Monday to perform at the NHL’s free outdoor concert and Game 1 watch party in City Hall Plaza along with country singer Chase Rice.
Lil Nas X arrived on stage decked out in a custom Bruins jersey in addition to his signature cowboy hat and boots for the performance.

Here is how Lil Nas X spent his time at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final:
He appeared to embrace the Bruins’ black and gold spirit quickly.
His tweet references Whiz Khalifa’s 2010 song “Black and Yellow,” which is most commonly understood to be a reference to the official colors of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and its sports teams, not the Bruins’ color scheme.

After the game ended, he was pulled aside by two street performers outside the Garden.
They performed “Old Town Road” with a violin and saxophone, much to the 20-year-old rapper’s delight.
