Post Malone and Blake Shelton teamed up to deliver the live debut of their buzzed-about collaboration, “Pour Me A Drink,” at 2024 CMA Fest.
The genre-bending hitmaker and country superstar surprised fans when they appeared on the b-stage in the center of Nissan Stadium during the 51st anniversary of the iconic Nashville festival to perform their viral single.
“Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke/ I’m ’bout to get on a buzz, I’m ’bout to get on a roll/ Yeah, I been breakin’ my back just keepin’ up with the Joneses/ Y’all know what I mean, and y’all know how it goes/ When it’s up on a Friday, and I’m paid, slide one over my way/ I can’t even think when I can hear one callin’ my name,” the pair sang on the chorus.
“Welcome to Country music, Post Malone,” Shelton said, formally welcoming Posty into the Country music genre at the end of their performance.
Co-written by Austin Post (Post Malone) alongside Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome, John Byron, Rocky Block, and Jordan Dozzi, “Pour Me A Drink” will appear on Post Malone’s forthcoming new album, F-1 Trillion. The project, which will arrive on August 16, also features the chart-topping hit, “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.
Post Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, will take his new country project on the road this fall. The 21-city trek will visit stadiums, festivals and amphitheaters and kicks off on September 8 at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in Salt Lake City, Utah.
