Jeff Bezos, Lil Nas X, and Katy Perry hung out, and the photos are as awkward as you think

No thanks!

Lil Nas X took his horse to an Amazon concert and as a result we now have some really strange Instagram photos.

During the company's annual post-Prime Day concert, which Geek Wire reports was held on Tuesday night for thousands of Amazon employees in Seattle, the record-setting rapper hung out backstage with fellow artist Katy Perry, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. An odd and unexpected trio, don't you agree?

It seems the three had a mini photoshoot backstage, because they each posted several "I'm Having A Great Time" shots on social media.

"I am the now the new owner of Amazon and I stole Katy Perry’s dog," Lil Nas X wrote on Instagram alongside two photographs of the three. The second photo shows Bezos donning Lil Nas X's leather graffiti jacket — which he most certainly does not pull off — and Perry commented, "Never forget when our buddy Jeff borrowed your coat."

Perry posted her photo with the caption, "I'm having the PRIME of my life," and Bezos shared the worst photo of them all with the worst caption of them all.

On Tuesday night, Bezos walked out on stage to greet employees and introduce Perry at the CenturyLink Field. She then performed a new song called "Never Really Over."

"I’m just out here for a moment. I want to say thank you. It was another great Prime Day. I remember it was just a little over 20 years ago, I was driving all the packages to the post office myself. That wasn’t that long ago," Bezos said.

"And when I look out at this crowd, I am in awe of what you guys do — in awe of what you guys do. Not just on Prime Day, but every day. The curiosity, the passion, the hard work, everything that I see when I get to work with you guys, it’s just amazing to me and it’s awe inspiring. So thank you very much."

Overall, it looked like Amazon employees, Lil Nas X, Katy Perry, and Jeff Bezos had a fun evening. But Twitter users are having some trouble processing the photos.

Just another confusing day in 2019.
