Why is Post Malone touring with country artist Jelly Roll? What to know, how to get tickets
Throughout the year, Post Malone released a country album, performed at the Grand Ole Opry and was nominated for several country Grammy awards. So pairing up with rising star Jelly Roll totally tracks
Post Malone has gone country, and soon will be on tour with an artist rising fast through the genre's ranks.
Malone announced his upcoming big stadium tour with country musician Jelly Roll on Tuesday, but Posty's genre transition began earlier this year.
In August, Malone released his sixth studio album, "F-1 Trillion," which features popular country musicians like Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Chris Stapleton and of course, Jelly Roll. "I Had Some Help," a single from the album featuring Morgan Wallen, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks.
Days before the release of the album, Malone made a guest appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, the nearly 100-year-old famed venue in Nashville, Tennessee. Introduced by country musician and Grand Ole Opry member Brad Paisley, Malone told the crowd he was both "terrified and honored" to be performing at the venue, according to Billboard.
And a month before that, Malone shocked fans during his country-inspired rendition of "America the Beautiful" at Super Bowl LVIII, sporting cowboy boots, blue jeans and a bolo tie.
Malone was nominated for seven Grammys this year, including "Best Country Album" for "F-1 Trillion" and "Best Country Duo/Group Performance" and "Best Country Song" for "I Had Some Help." Malone was also nominated for three Country Music Association Awards this year, including "Single of the Year," "Music Video of the Year" and "Musical Event of the Year" for "I Had Some Help." He will also perform at the CMA Awards on Nov. 20.
To say the least, Malone didn't enter the country music genre half-heartedly.
Who is Jelly Roll?
Known for his hit single, "Son of a Sinner," Jelly Roll, the stage name of Jason Bradley DeFord, blends a bit of country, hip-hop and rock through this music. Hailing from Tennessee, the musician received New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards last year.
DeFord is also vocal about his history of incarceration and advocacy for prison reform. DeFord has been arrested twice, for aggravated robbery and violation of a drug-free school zone law.
Since his star began to rise, DeFord has become a known philanthropist. Earlier this year, he opened a songwriting studio at the Davidson Country Juvenile Detention Center, where he spent time during his youth.
