Post Malone has officially gone country! The chart-topping 28-year-old musician brought out a few big-name artists to join him on stage for a unique set at Stagecoach on Saturday night.
By all accounts, it was a big hit!
Posty seemingly knows everybody in music at this point in his career. He was recently featured on Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album and Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ after performing with Morgan Wallen and Hardy at the CMA Awards back in November. Even though those four artists did not appear at the Empire Polo Club despite some rumblings, the star power was still there!
At this point in his career, Post Malone has not officially released any country songs of his own. Thus, his set was made up entirely of covers.
Tyler Childers was on the set list.
As was George Strait.
Tim McGraw’s classic ‘Don’t Take The Girl’ was an opportunity to scale things back a little bit.
Country music legend Dwight Yoakam was the first artist to be introduced. The Rhinestone Cowboy and Posty sang ‘Little Ways’ early in the set.
Two songs later, Brad Paisley came out to duet his hit ‘I’m Gonna Miss Her,’ which Post Malone had actually covered once before!
They also sang Alan Jackson’s smash hit ‘Chattahoochee.’
Sara Evans was the third guest to make an appearance. The Indio winds were whipping through her hair while they performed ‘Suds in the Bucket.’

Other covers included Toby Keith, John Michael Montgomery and Randy Travis. Unlike Eric Church’s headlining set on Friday night, the crowd was fully invested in Post Malone’s performance at Stagecoach and everybody seemed to enjoy the pivot from his typical sound. He is taking a big step into the country music genre and an album is coming sooner than later at this point!
