Post Malone just crossed a line you cannot uncross.
After years of breaking charts, switching genres, and teasing his love for country, he finally has his first CMA trophy in his hands. On November 19, 2025, the Country Music Association named “Pour Me a Drink” the Musical Event of the Year—the collab with Blake Shelton that turned every bar sing-along into a country-pop anthem.
It’s the moment Nashville officially stamped Post Malone as part of the family, live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville with Lainey Wilson hosting the 59th CMA Awards. The win honors a track produced by Louis Bell and Charlie Handsome, the same team behind so many of his pop hits, now rewriting the rules inside country too.
Remember, this all comes off the back of F-1 Trillion, the album that debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts and put him in the running for Album of the Year at the CMAs. Lainey Wilson took that prize with Whirlwind, but Post walking away with Musical Event of the Year changes the whole conversation about who owns the future of country.

All of that buzz around Post’s first CMA win really comes down to one thing: how “Pour Me a Drink” feels when Post and Blake are actually in the same space. Seeing that easy chemistry between a pop rebel and a country veteran makes the CMA title “Musical Event of the Year” feel less like a trophy and more like proof that this is where the two worlds finally meet.

Before there was a trophy, there were thousands of people in a stadium screaming every word back at Post and Blake, hands in the air like this song had been on country radio for years. You can feel the respect in the way they look at each other, and the way the crowd roars every time the chorus drops.
