Feet Pics, George Strait, and Spiderman: The Funniest Moments From Post Malone’s Grand Ole Opry Debut

Post Malone made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry on August 14, two days before his highly anticipated country album, F-1 Trillion, is due. He brought out iconic guests, many of whom collaborated with him on the album. Brad Paisley, who invited Post to the Opry, was on hand to welcome him, and Lainey Wilson also took the stage to sing their new song “Nosedive.”

In typical Post Malone fashion, he was candid about being a little nervous. However, he quickly warmed up and expressed his gratitude for the Opry. He shared that he was “terrified and honored” to be there while sharing jokes with Wilson.

“I’m terrified too,” Wilson admitted, adding, “Every time I get to stand in this circle I am terrified.” Post joked that he bought a picture of Wilson from the Morrison Gallery website, sharing that he “just bought a new spot” and needed some art for his place. Wilson seemed astounded and speechless, finally uttering, “I love you,” adding, “Now I need a picture of you for my house. Every morning [I’ll] be like, ‘I love you buddy.’”

“No feet pics,” Post Malone replied, which Wilson agreed with, adding, “I don’t want those.” She reiterated her statement, but said, “But you do what you gotta do, twenty dollars is twenty dollars,” while the crowd erupted into laughter.

Post Malone Delivers Country Music and Plenty of Laughs at Opry Debut

Later, Post Malone promised the audience he wasn’t going to swear, and tried his best to uphold that promise. “I’m not gonna cuss,” he announced, adding, “I’m having the fricken’ best time of my life.”

To aid in his new clean-cut country image, Post took the iconic stage in a denim and powder blue ensemble, topping the look off with a cream-colored cowboy hat and silver jewelry. When he was complemented on his outfit, he replied, “Oh thank you, I was going for, like, a K-Mart George Strait.” The crowd laughed again, as did Vince Gill, who was standing in the background after complementing Post.

Later still, Post took an interesting turn with his commentary. “You’ve probably never seen me and Spiderman in the same room,” he said, adding, “and that’s completely coincidental.” Notably, he had a song in a Spiderman movie, Into the Spiderverse. He did in fact play that song, one of his well-known hits, “Sunflower,” with a more country flair.
