Post Malone Brings His Big Ass Stadium Tour Home To Texas: 11 Best Moments From the Dallas Stop

Following a star-studded 60th annual Academy of Country Music awards in Frisco, Texas on Thursday, May 8 – at which Jelly Roll was up for three trophies while Post Malone was competing in four categories – the pair got back to business on their Big Ass Stadium tour with a stop in Arlington, Texas’s AT&T Stadium, just outside of Dallas. But, most importantly, the stop was just a 20-minute drive south from Post’s hometown of Grapevine (where, as a young kid, he and his family moved to from Syracuse).

And while Posty’s love for his hometown runs deep, his love for the Dallas Cowboys runs deeper. Post even welcomed his dad onstage, telling the crowd how he worked at the Cowboys’ current and former stadium for a total of 14 years. To which Post’s dad said: “Let’s go Cowboys!”

Following a rousing opening set from Sierra Ferrell, it was Jelly Roll’s turn to warm up the sold-out stadium. “Y’all, get ready for your hometown hero,” Jelly repeated throughout his own set, hyping up his pal Posty throughout his hour-long performance.

By the time Post took the stage, emotions were already running high. He took a moment to tell the crowd he’ll be 30 this July, and that the milestone birthday has had him feeling reflective of late. “I’m the most grateful mother f—er on the face of this planet,” he said, speaking of his decade-long career. “You have given me the strength to keep going.”

He later said that though this was only the fourth show on his Big Ass Stadium Tour, “so far this has been the most beautiful experience of my life, ladies and gentlemen.” And for many in the crowd, the same was surely true for them. During “Goodbyes,” one fan even offered Posty a bouquet of flowers, which he happily reached for and cradled as he walked down the stage.

“I’m having the fucking time of my life,” he said, with a Texas-sized grin. “Seriously.” 

Below are the best moments from his hometown show.
