Post Malone delivered a folky rendition of “America the Beautiful” at Super Bowl LVIII, showcasing a contrast to his image.
Taylor Swift was seen enjoying the performance alongside Blake Lively.
Malone’s preparation involved continuous singing and he found comfort in his father’s advice.

Post Malone said, “My dad told me, ‘You’ll never make everybody happy. So just be yourself and do your best at everything you do. Do it your way and do it with love.’”
Rob Stevenson, a partner at New York record label 300 Entertainment, labeled Malone the “Donald Trump of hip-hop”.
“Things that should’ve killed his career have only made him bigger,” added the music executive.
Despite controversial statements in the past, he remains non-political.
Post Malone previously said, “It doesn’t make any sense, because … if he was to say, ‘Yo, I really like your music. Will you come and do a show?’ Why would I get backlash because someone was booking me?”
“If I do his show, does that mean that I’m a supporter of him?” he asked.
The Kansas City Chiefs won the game, and the hope is that the NFL will avoid using the football field for political messaging in the future.
