About this listen
Post Malone has been firing on all cylinders over the past week both musically and in the public eye. In a widely circulated backstage video posted August 27, Posty treated fans to an impromptu cover of The Eagles' classic Take It Easy, showcasing his soulful vocals and igniting calls across social media for a full studio version. Fans and music writers alike are now clamoring for an official release with Whiskey Riff noting just how eagerly listeners are awaiting that moment. He is currently winding through a packed international tour schedule with recent and upcoming festival dates in major European cities like Milan, Berlin, and London, most recently headlining in Milan on August 27 and in Zürich and Munich this weekend according to Whiskey Riff.
Perhaps the biggest headline for Post Malone is his slated performance at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, as confirmed by outlets from US96.3 to WEIS Radio and Daily Fly. This marks his highly anticipated return to the VMA stage—the first since 2018—and he is up for Best Collaboration with Blake Shelton for their single Pour Me a Drink, a pairing that has further cemented his cross-genre appeal. He will perform alongside names like Doja Cat, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ricky Martin in a show touted as one of the biggest VMAs lineups in years, set to be simulcast live on both CBS and MTV.
Business-wise, Post Malone made headlines with another milestone—announced as the 2026 headliner for the Carolina Country Music Festival, signalling his evolving presence in the country music world and foreshadowing more first-time surprises for fans per Netflix Junkie and the official CCMF release. Meanwhile, Rolling Out reports that he also just released a new collaboration track called Brother with DJ Khaled and NBA YoungBoy, an unexpected trio reflecting Post's genre-blending musical instincts.
There have been no major controversies or negative press in recent days; instead, the tone across news and social media is overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising his musicianship, his new country collaborations, and his willingness to experiment. While posts speculating about an upcoming studio cover of Take It Easy are unconfirmed, interest is surging and it would not be surprising if a full version surfaced soon. This is a moment of important and potentially long-lasting career evolution for Post Malone, as he continues to straddle genres, grow international audiences, and reassert himself as a force in both pop and country music.
