Adding to the excitement, Post Malone’s collaboration with Swift on the opening track, “Fortnight,” of her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” was announced.
Renowned for his musical prowess, Post Malone has dominated the industry since his breakthrough hit, “White Iverson,” in 2015. With four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Circles,” “Sunflower,” “Rockstar,” and “Psycho,” and two Grammy-nominated albums, “Beerbongs & Bentleys” and “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” his talent is undeniable.
Following in the footsteps of Babyface, who performed “America the Beautiful” at last year’s Super Bowl, Post Malone continued the tradition that has been part of the pre-game festivities since 2009.
Despite his experience performing for massive crowds, Post Malone admitted in an interview with Apple Music before the game that he still feels nervous but excited about such opportunities.
Other notable performers during the event included Reba McEntire singing the national anthem and Andra Day performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Additionally, Usher was set to headline the highly anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas marked the pinnacle of Super Bowl LVIII.
