Blake Shelton, Post Malone Shock CMA Fest Fans
Before CMA Fest 2024 kicked off on Thursday (6/6), it was looking like another year of the festival would go by without a performance from Blake Shelton.
Then, on Thursday night (6/6), Blake popped up at CMA Fest for a Nissan Stadium set after Thomas Rhett’s set for a surprise performance for fans. The surprises didn’t stop coming as Blake welcomed his new duet partner and buddy Post Malone to the stage, where the two performed their collaboration, “Somebody Pour Me A Drink.”

Blake posted some images of himself, Malone, and his wife, Gwen Stefani, on his Instagram. He captioned the post to his nearly seven million Instagram followers, “Welcome to country music @postmalone!!!!!”
His fans were thrilled with the post, one wrote, “Iconic duo for sure.” Another fan commented, “Duo of the year !!!!!” One more fan said, “This is wonderful!”

Malone first shared a video of the collab on his Instagram in May. With an emoji of beers clinking and tagging Shelton, Post sings, “Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke, I’m bout to get on a bus to get on that road.” Footage shows the artist crack open a beer and vibe out in a recording studio.

Reacting to the new track, Shelton’s wife, Gwen Stefani, shared, “Can’t handle this much cool and cute!! Super fan alert !” Meanwhile, fans also shared their enthusiasm. One person commented, “we are all here for country malone [cowboy hat emoji].” Another said, “This country album bout to break records when you drop it, bro! [fire emoji, praise emoji].” A third wrote, “He’s jumping into country the best possible way!!” One fan stated, “He’s assembling The Country Infinity Gauntlet [exploding head emoji].” Another wrote, “Blue Collar Malone goes hard.”
Although Malone has yet to reveal any information about his new song, it will likely be a part of his upcoming country album. Though there haven’t been many confirmed details about the project, fans theorize the album will be called City Cowboy after an Easter egg was spotted in the “I Had Some Help” music video.
