Post Malone said he was “so terrified and beyond honored,” when he made his highly-anticipated debut at the historic Grand Ole Opry on Wednesday evening (August 14) in Nashville, Tennessee. Post’s momentous performance arrives shortly before he delivers his 18-track country album, F-1 Trillion .
Grand Ole Opry member Brad Paisley introduced Post Malone to the stage and into the iconic circle for his first performance at the venue. Paisley hailed the F-1 Trillion artist a singer with a “country heart,” who has “immersed himself in the Nashville way,” over the course of creating his next record. However, “you aren’t a country singer until you’ve played this [the Grand Ole Opry].”
“My name is Austin Richard Post. And I’m here to play some songs tonight with some really amazing folks and friends of mine and I’m honored to call them friends of mine. And I’m so terrified and beyond honored to be standing right in this spot right here,” Post Malone said as he stood in the Opry circle before a cheering, packed crowd on Wednesday night. He added that he was “amazingly grateful and beyond floored,” that Paisley introduced him to the Opry stage, noting that he saw the country star in concert around age 6.
Post’s debut Opry set began with “One More Last Chance” with Vince Gill , “Be My Baby Tonight” with John Michael Montgomery . He also included first-ever live renditions of “Nosedive” with Lainey Wilson , “Goes Without Saying” with Paisley, and “California Sober,” a collaboration with Chris Stapleton , which Posty performed with husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty . he also delivered a solo performance of “I Had Some Help,” a collaboration with Morgan Wallen , and closed the show with a country spin on his 2018 single, “Sunflower.”
“I Had Some Help” was the first track Posty revealed from his highly-anticipated country project earlier this year, followed by “Pour Me A Drink” with Blake Shelton and “Guy For That” with Luke Combs .
