Lil Nas X and Elton John are making a dynamic duo. The pair teamed up for a new Uber Eats campaign, with Lil Nas X and John swapping looks. One of the new advertisements finds John donning Lil Nas X's iconic pink Versace cowboy suit, with Lil Nas X strutting in John's eye-catching feathers.

The new ad campaign comes ahead of the two artists' upcoming collaboration on John's upcoming album, The Lockdown Sessions. The album will be released on October 22, with Lil Nas X set to appear on "One of Me."

"It's been absolutely wonderful partnering with Lil Nas X, one of the most influential voices in pop culture, and with Uber Eats, my faithful favorite for everything delicious," John said in a statement. "From taking selfies to deciding to swap looks on set, working together has been a blast."

Lil Nas X is also gearing up to release his debut album, Montero. Set to be released next week, Montero's controversial singles have only added to the allure of the "Industry Baby" singer. Lil Nas X's promotion for his upcoming album have followed his Satanic controversy that first stemmed from his "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" music video. His "Industry Baby" music video showed the artist going to prison for his crimes in "Montero," leading to a subsequent prison break. Lil Nas X then shared his official album announcement with a promo declaring him as a wanted criminal.

Meanwhile, John's upcoming album will feature tracks with Young Thug and Nicki Minaj, Gorillaz, Miley Cyrus, SG Lewis, Eddie Vedder, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, and more. John revealed that he did not intentionally plan to make an album during lockdown from the COVID-19 pandemic, but that the result happened organically. He expressed that the projects he wound up working on reminded him of the beginning of his career when he worked as a studio musician, and thus he opted to create The Lockdown Sessions.
