Post Malone's country era is in full swing. At Thursday night's Dick Clark Productions-produced ACM Awards (May 16), the pop superstar fully immersed himself in the world of country with a double rendition of his new country music.
Posty kicked off his set by debuting a live performance of an unreleased song that will likely appear on his upcoming country album. “It's a long-lost highway,” he gushed over the bleak guitars and percussion. At the end of the song, Posty noted that no one had ever heard the song before.
As soon as he made that remark, he launched into a rendition of his current smash hit 'I Had Some Help'. Although the track features an assist from country superstar Morgan Wallen, the “Last Night” singer chose to join tonight's performance. Regardless, Posty rocked the crowd, delivering a ballad and party song for the ACM Awards crowd.
“I Had Some Help” is expected to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 next week. The cute duet has already reached No. 18 on Country Airplay and No. 40 on the Adult Top 40. Posty and Wallen's hookup is the latest chart-topping collaboration for the “Circles” singer. Earlier this year he teamed up with Beyoncé for Cowboy Carter Fan favorite “Levii's Jeans,” which peaked at No. 16 on the Hot 100. A few weeks later, he debuted at the top of the chart with his new Taylor Swift duet “Fortnight,” which served as the lead single from her success Department of Tormented Poets LP.
Malone's performance no doubt captivated the crowd, with host Reba McEntire inviting him to join her in an impromptu duet of The Allman Brothers Band's “Ramblin' Man” in honor of the late Dickey Betts.
Although Posty is still awaiting his first ACM Awards nomination, his “I Had Some Help” duet partner boasts the most nominations at this year's ceremony. At the 2024 ACM Awards, Wallen scored six nominations, including Artist of the Year.
