He teamed with some of the biggest names in the genre to create his genre debut F-1 Trillion. Then, he released the deluxe edition of the album which featured traditional country-leaning songs showing his respect for the roots of the genre. Tonight, he showed that he’s here to stay with his performance during New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.

Many doubted Malone’s commitment to country music when he started releasing singles from F-1 Trillion. However, he has proven time and again that he isn’t just dipping his toe into the genre because it’s where the money is. Instead, he’s been itching to make country music for years and finally had the chance to do so. His performance during Music City’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration was more proof.

Posty skipped the big stage at Bicentennial Park and performed his hit song “I Had Some Help” at Robert’s Western World. While the album version of the song featured Morgan Wallen, he proved he could rock a country crowd without any help tonight.
