Post Malone, known for his genre-blending style, paid homage to country music with a heartfelt performance of Tyler Childers’ “Feathered Indians.” The song, described by Malone as one of his favorites by Childers, marks a significant moment in his exploration of country music.
Malone’s foray into the country genre is underscored by his upcoming album, F-1 Trillion, set to drop on August 16. The album boasts collaborations with country luminaries such as Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, and Tim McGraw, promising a fusion of exceptional voices and country roots. However, despite Malone’s cover of Childers’ song, Childers himself is not featured on the album, leaving fans hopeful for a potential surprise single in the future.
Post Malone’s transition into country music comes as no surprise, given his recent singles which showcase his adaptability to the genre. His Grand Ole Opry debut on August 14 further solidified his place in country music. The event was highlighted by a performance from Brad Paisley, who has been a Grand Ole Opry member since 2001. Paisley introduced Malone, praising him for his genuine connection to country music and his immersion in Nashville’s musical traditions.
The Nashville audience warmly embraced Malone, and the night included a special treat—an exclusive performance of “Nosedive,” a track from Malone’s new album. Lainey Wilson also joined him for a duet, adding to the evening’s excitement and further integrating Malone into the country music community. With much anticipation surrounding F-1 Trillion, Malone’s country music journey is just beginning, promising more to come for his growing fanbase.
