Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Post Malone has had quite the week, capping off what's been a transformative year for the artist. Most notably, on Thanksgiving Day, he headlined The Salvation Army's Annual Red Kettle Kickoff halftime show during the Dallas Cowboys game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cowboys secured a 31-28 victory, and for Malone, it was a full-circle moment—his father previously worked for the organization managing concessions when Post was a kid. During the performance, he ran through a mix of his hits including "Wrong Ones," "Wow," and "I Had Some Help," blending his rap and country material.
The halftime show sparked considerable social media buzz, with fan reactions decidedly mixed. While some critics felt his vocal delivery was off, others praised the performance and its production value. What really captured attention, however, was an overwhelming wave of fan sentiment calling for Malone to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. Social media erupted with comments like "Make this man the Super Bowl 61 halftime show" and "He deserves the SB halftime." Multiple fans expressed frustration that Bad Bunny, who's been announced for this year's Super Bowl, got the slot before Malone.
Not everyone embraced his recent pivot to country music, though. Some NFL fans took to Twitter expressing harsh criticism, with one user calling his country shift "god awful" and "truly some of the worst music ever made." The debate reflects the ongoing conversation about Malone's genre transition over the past few years from hip-hop to country territory.
Beyond the halftime performance, Malone continues riding momentum from his critically acclaimed F-1 Trillion album and collaboration with Taylor Swift on "I Had Some Help," which dominated charts as the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020, holding the number-one Billboard Hot 100 position for six consecutive weeks. He recently earned eight Grammy nominations for 2025. Spring saw him headlining Coachella, followed by his "Big Ass Stadium" tour, and he's already lined up to headline Stagecoach in 2026.
Malone also continues expanding his business empire. Posty's, his Nashville bar and restaurant venture that opened to the public in July, became the largest country artist-owned Music City establishment when it took over the old Tequila Cowboy location on Broadway. The venue threw a massive ribbon-cutting ceremony in October that shut down several downtown blocks.
