Post Malone Honored in Fort Worth, Caps Off a Monumental Week in Texas with a Sold-Out Stadium Show

Before lighting up a packed AT&T Stadium on May 9, Post Malone was recognized for more than just his chart-topping hits. The Grapevine native returned to his home turf and was awarded a city proclamation in Fort Worth by Mayor Mattie Parker, celebrating his “musical and philanthropic excellence.” The honor highlighted Malone’s consistent support for first responders and his involvement in charitable efforts like the Academy of Country Music’s Lifting Lives initiative. The award ceremony took place at the Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex, where Malone met with the Fort Worth Police and local officials. “Thanks for rocking out with us and keep making us proud, Posty!” the police department posted on social media, capturing the city’s appreciation for its hometown star.

But the proclamation was just the beginning of what turned out to be a massive week for Malone across Texas. The momentum kicked off on May 6 at the legendary Billy Bob’s Texas, where Jelly Roll shocked fans by bringing Post Malone onstage for a surprise duet. The two performed “Losers,” a standout track from Malone’s upcoming country-inspired album F-1 Trillion. The night also featured performances by Lainey Wilson and Koe Wetzel, creating a high-energy celebration of country and crossover talent.

On May 7, Malone continued the Texas leg of his Big Ass Stadium Tour with a high-octane show in San Antonio, electrifying thousands with his genre-blending catalog. Although he didn’t appear in person at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco on May 8, he was nominated and mentioned prominently during the ceremony—a testament to his growing influence in the country music scene.

Then came the grand finale: May 9 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Playing to a sold-out crowd in one of the largest venues in the country, Post Malone delivered a high-energy, emotional, and unforgettable performance. Wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey with kicker Brandon Aubrey’s number 17, Malone fully embraced the Texas spirit. The setlist spanned his biggest hip-hop hits, heartfelt acoustic moments, and new country material, showing just how far he’s come as an artist willing to break boundaries.

Jelly Roll once again joined him onstage to perform “Losers,” and in a light-hearted moment, poked fun at the Cowboys with the lyric “Ain’t never been no winners,” pointing at Malone’s jersey. The crowd roared with laughter and applause, fully engaged with the playful banter and hometown pride.

With massive production, emotional fan interactions, and a deep connection to his Texas roots, the AT&T Stadium concert wasn’t just another stop on the tour—it was a homecoming celebration. As Malone continues his Big Ass Stadium Tour across North America through the summer and fall, his Texas shows stand out as both a personal milestone and a reminder of the bond between a global superstar and the place that shaped him.
