Move over, everyone, because Taylor Swift is here, and she’s singing louder than a room full of Swifties at a sold-out concert—this time, about none other than Post Malone.
Friday, August 16th, was just another ordinary day… or was it? Cue dramatic music It was actually the day when the 29-year-old musical wizard, known in some circles as the “Sunflower” sorcerer, dropped his sixth studio album, titled F-1 Trillion—because apparently, F-1 Billion just wasn’t quite ambitious enough.
Naturally, the world stopped turning for a moment as the sound waves of Posty’s new tunes radiated across the globe. And who better to ride this sonic tsunami than Taylor Swift herself? The 34-year-old pop queen took a break from ruling her kingdom to hop on Instagram and unleash a tidal wave of admiration for Post and his new album.
Now, if you’re thinking, “Wait, did Taylor and Posty just become besties?”—you’d be correct, Sherlock! These two musical masterminds joined forces earlier this year on Taylor’s hit track “Fortnight” from her critically acclaimed album The Tortured Poets Department. It’s basically a support group for overworked and underpaid songwriters, but with catchier tunes.
In true Swift style, Taylor didn’t just toss a casual “like” at Posty’s new album. Oh no, she went full fangirl, posting a snapshot of the dynamic duo on her Instagram Story, probably causing millions of phones to overheat from pure excitement.
“Was lucky enough to hear this amazing music on the set of the ‘Fortnight’ video when Austin played it for me,” she wrote, subtly reminding us that Post Malone’s real name is Austin. (Because why not drop some trivia while we’re at it?)
But she didn’t stop there—oh no. Taylor continued to gush like a broken fire hydrant in summer, saying, “It’s incredible how versatile his artistry is.” She might as well have added, “And his ability to grow a mustache that defies the laws of physics.”
To top it all off, Taylor crowned Post Malone the “most down-to-earth guy alive.” This is coming from someone who’s basically a human unicorn, so you know it’s a big deal.
As if that wasn’t enough to make you feel like a couch potato for not being a musical prodigy, Post’s new album is packed with collaborations featuring country legends like Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, and Jelly Roll. Yes, the Jelly Roll, not the pastry, though that would be delicious.
Taylor Swift loves Post Malone, Post Malone loves making music, and we all love watching it unfold—preferably with some popcorn and a front-row seat on Instagram.
