Taylor Swift calls Post Malone ‘the most down-to-earth guy alive’ as she praises his new album F-1 Trillion… after Fortnight collaboration
Taylor Swift is sharing some high praise about Post Malone and his new studio album F-1 Trillion, which is his sixth of his storied career to date.
In fact, it was the pop superstar’s younger brother, Austin Swift, who first played her some of the tunes off his new record while she was shooting the music video for the lead single off her The Tortured Poets Department (2024).
‘Was lucky enough to hear this amazing music on the set of the Fortnight video when Austin played it for me,’ Swift, 34, captioned an image of herself on set with Malone, 29.
‘It’s incredible how versatile his artistry is,’ she added, before complimenting him on a more personal level. ‘And [he’s] just the most down to earth guy alive.’
The Anti-Hero singer — whom Rob Lowe said is much more famous than he was in his ’80s heyday — also included a link to stream F-1 Trillion in her post.
And it turns out Malone’s F-1 Trillion had already been on a trajectory to number one by the time Swift shared her praise of his new music.
‘F-1 Trillion by Post Malone is projected to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 200-225k units sold. (via HITSDD),’ Pop Base announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) Friday afternoon, which was only just over one day after its official release.
The road towards the drop of F-1 Trillion started with the release of the lead single, I Had Some Help, that featured country music singer Morgan Wallen.
The song would go on to shoot to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020, giving Malone his sixth number-one song.
He has since dropped the follow-up singles: Pour Me A Drink and Guy For That.
It turns out, Malone spent months working on the new music in Nashville, collaborating with many of the top that country music has to offer in Music City, according to Billboard.
Along with the Morgan Wallen duet for lead single I Had Some Help, F-1 Trillion also features the collaboration with Blake Shelton, Pour Me A Drink, which went up to number 14 on the Country Airplay chart.
Malone’s new record also features the likes of Luke Combs, Dolly Parton, Jelly Roll, Tim McGraw, Ernest, Hank Williams Jr., Lainey Wilson, Brad Paisley, Sierra Ferrell, HARDY and Chris Stapleton.
Back in April, Malone (born Austin Richard Post) took to Instagram to thank Swift for opening up herself to allow him to come into her world as a collaborator on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
‘It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift comes into this world,’ the Syracuse, New York native wrote. ‘I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey. I love you so much. Thank you Tay.’
