Post Malone navigated a very damp night for a sold out crowd at Gillette
That might have been necessary to buy in to the scale of the production. With booming, busy drums and lurching guitar squeals, plenty of numbers leaned on sound and fury and signified not much, and the flame bursts and fireworks that punctuated songs like 'Rockstar' simply underlined his band's churning sensory-overload maximalism. With its late-'70s adult-contemporary tinkly-piano sound, 'What Don't Belong To Me' was soft rock, but loud. The rolling cut-time country of 'M-E-X-I-C-O,' meanwhile, was energetic but not particularly convincing. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up But if the singer's recent Nashville pivot may have been mercenary in nature, it also came off as dopily genuine; Malone's great gift as a pop star is his utter inability to radiate anything but sincerity. Leaning into a rasp and a twang, he pulled off the big-spectacle country of 'Wrong Ones' better than a lot of big-spectacle country stars, and the straight-up heartstring-tugger 'Yours' imagined the wedding of his three-year-old daughter, a country theme if ever there was one. Advertisement Even if he didn't slip or fall, Malone's performance didn't always have sure footing. His voice was sometimes more robust than on record, as on a more dynamic 'Better Now,' and sometimes it was even more warbly and thin. He inserted 'Boston' into the lyrics of 'M-E-X-I-C-O' and Morgan Wallen's 'I Ain't Comin' Back,' and it flew by so quickly in both cases that either nobody noticed or nobody cared. Still, Malone's affability was so strong that he could bring a fan in a Dallas Cowboys jersey onstage to perform with him and get the crowd to stop booing long enough for him to sing the almost delicate 'Feeling Whitney' accompanied only by her fingerpicking on acoustic guitar. (The booing recommenced after.) And as he returned from the rigging at the back of the stadium where he sang the encore, he stopped to sign autographs and pose for selfies along the way as his band pounded out the post-rock scope of 'Congratulations.' 'As long as you ain't hurting nobody, keep being yourself,' he concluded, advice that's worked out pretty well for Post Malone. Jelly Roll performs at Gillette Stadium.

Post Malone spotted with rumored new girlfriend after reportedly calling off engagement
Post Malone has been seen with a new woman after appearing to break off his engagement. The 29-year-old rapper and singer, whose real name is Austin Post, is no longer with his fiancée and has since moved on with a woman named Christy Lee, according to reports. TMZ reported on Thursday that the 'Circles' singer and his private fiancée, whose name has not been revealed, broke up toward the end of 2024 while Malone began seeing Lee at the start of 2025. The Independent has reached out to Malone's representatives for comment. The publication also showed a TikTok made by a fan of Malone and Lee sitting closely next to each other as Lee held onto the 'White Iverson' singer's arm. 'Post Malone randomly showing up in your small hometown bar & saying hi to you,' the fan wrote on top of the video with the song 'I Need Some Help' by Malone playing in the background. Although Malone has never publicly identified his fiancée, who is also the mother of his daughter, he has opened up about proposing to her during an episode of Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast in August 2023. 'We're not married — it was just a proposal,' he told the host at the time about popping the question while they were in Las Vegas. 'I had lost a significant amount of money at the table. We go upstairs and I'm off my rocker hammered and I was like, 'Hey, you wanna marry me?' I got a ring and all this stuff. And she said 'no.' She's like, 'Ask me tomorrow' and I was like, 'Alright.' And then I did, and I was sober, and it was nice.' Then, during an August 2024 segment of CBS Mornings, he opened up about what it's like to co-parent with his fiancée. While discussing his song 'Yours,' which is about his daughter, he described the impact being a parent has made on him. 'It changes your life in the best way ever. And the most beautiful thing is, she has a beautiful mom,' he said of his fiancée. The singer went on to gush over his partner and daughter, saying they both 'saved' him during a difficult point in his life. 'Four years ago, I was on a rough path,' he explained, recalling how much he was drinking and 'having a good cry' while struggling with loneliness. 'I don't feel like that anymore, and it's the most amazing thing.' Although he keeps his daughter's name private, the singer shared that he has her initials 'DDP' tattooed on his forehead. Malone also detailed just how much his child has shaped his career, as the song 'Yours' — featured on his album, F-1 Trillion — is about her getting married one day. 'I think about it a lot,' he said, referring to his daughter walking down the aisle. He revealed that he's already written 'a lot of songs' about the two-year-old.
