Lainey Wilson Might Have Just Forced Post Malone to Break His Biggest Rule

Rob Sheffield

Thousands of people filled Nashville’s Broadway Street, standing shoulder to shoulder just to see Post Malone’s free show. It was the grand opening of his new bar, Posty’s, and everyone was excited to see what he would do. Then, something special happened. Under the bright lights, Lainey Wilson walked out on stage and the crowd went wild before she even started singing.

Post Malone looked at the crowd and said, “I know there’s a rule about no originals, but if I could play one tonight, she’s going to make it worth it.” Then Lainey smiled, and the two sang their song “Nosedive.” She wore a fringe vest and black leather bell bottoms, her voice steady and full of fire. It was country and soul mixed together in the best way.

Fans could not stop sharing their thoughts afterward. One person said, “Lainey owned that stage like it was built for her.” Another wrote, “Posty and Lainey together just feels right.” Someone else added, “That was the kind of moment you tell your kids about.” 

That surprise duet was only the start. Not long after, Post Malone was back on stage again, but this time, for Lainey. It was her big night at the ACM Awards, and Posty showed up not to sing, but to honor her. With a big smile and a cowboy hat tipped low, he said he was happy to be there for her special moment.
