Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has delivered one of his boldest weeks yet, capturing headlines across entertainment and fashion circles. On September 3, he's set to electrify Paris for the first time at La Défense Arena as part of his Big Ass World Tour—a landmark event drawing thousands, with ticket sellers anticipating capacity crowds and public transport urged to handle the influx. Fans are buzzing about his setlist, which promises both chart-toppers and recent country pivots. The concert boasts a special guest opener, heightening anticipation, while arena staff recommend arrivals from 5:00 pm to ensure a smooth experience.Just days before this career-defining show, Post made a splash in the Paris fashion world, debuting his new clothing label Austin Post Apparel at none other than Karl Lagerfeld's former mansion. According to FashionNetwork, Malone—known for mixing genres as freely as he does styles—delivered a collection rooted in authentic Western wear: think ostrich leather cowboy boots, buffalo coats, and star-embroidered denim, worn by both local Parisians and American cowboys. Whiskey Riff described the Labor Day launch event as an epic, cowboy-chic affair, with Post taking bows in head-to-toe blue denim before rave reviews and raucous applause. Insiders reveal he's plotting a pop-up in New York later this month but left fans guessing where exactly to buy the gear, saying, “that's a good question.”On the music front, his country album F-1 Trillion—recorded with Nashville's heavy-hitters and featuring stars like Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and Blake Shelton—is fueling a major transition for Malone. In a candid Apple Music interview, he spoke about moving to Nashville, finding a welcoming creative community, and feeling “happy, very happy” after slowing down and ditching L.A.'s relentless demands. Friends and collaborators cite his positivity as infectious, and PEOPLE has noted his ongoing public embrace of country influences, including performances with Beyoncé and Brad Paisley.Social media has been awash in posts tagging his Paris runway event and the arena concert's logistics, though verified accounts remain sparse on controversy—most echo the celebratory tone of his recent public appearances. Major outlets are already hailing his Paris stint and fashion debut as milestones that could redefine his image for years to come. If Post Malone keeps this momentum, both the music and fashion worlds will be recalibrating for the long haul.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has been firing on all cylinders over the past week both musically and in the public eye. In a widely circulated backstage video posted August 27, Posty treated fans to an impromptu cover of The Eagles' classic Take It Easy, showcasing his soulful vocals and igniting calls across social media for a full studio version. Fans and music writers alike are now clamoring for an official release with Whiskey Riff noting just how eagerly listeners are awaiting that moment. He is currently winding through a packed international tour schedule with recent and upcoming festival dates in major European cities like Milan, Berlin, and London, most recently headlining in Milan on August 27 and in Zürich and Munich this weekend according to Whiskey Riff.Perhaps the biggest headline for Post Malone is his slated performance at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, as confirmed by outlets from US96.3 to WEIS Radio and Daily Fly. This marks his highly anticipated return to the VMA stage—the first since 2018—and he is up for Best Collaboration with Blake Shelton for their single Pour Me a Drink, a pairing that has further cemented his cross-genre appeal. He will perform alongside names like Doja Cat, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ricky Martin in a show touted as one of the biggest VMAs lineups in years, set to be simulcast live on both CBS and MTV.Business-wise, Post Malone made headlines with another milestone—announced as the 2026 headliner for the Carolina Country Music Festival, signalling his evolving presence in the country music world and foreshadowing more first-time surprises for fans per Netflix Junkie and the official CCMF release. Meanwhile, Rolling Out reports that he also just released a new collaboration track called Brother with DJ Khaled and NBA YoungBoy, an unexpected trio reflecting Post's genre-blending musical instincts.There have been no major controversies or negative press in recent days; instead, the tone across news and social media is overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising his musicianship, his new country collaborations, and his willingness to experiment. While posts speculating about an upcoming studio cover of Take It Easy are unconfirmed, interest is surging and it would not be surprising if a full version surfaced soon. This is a moment of important and potentially long-lasting career evolution for Post Malone, as he continues to straddle genres, grow international audiences, and reassert himself as a force in both pop and country music.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone, now officially straddling the worlds of music and fashion, is making headlines with one of the most ambitious pivots of his career. This week, he quietly sent out invitations for his first-ever runway show under an eponymous label, Austin Post, which will debut September 1 in Paris—timed perfectly ahead of Fashion Week and his own European tour stop. According to Hypebeast and WWD, this marks his inaugural solo venture into fashion, after years spent collaborating with brands like Crocs, Stanley, Ugg, and most recently, SKIMS. It signals a major expansion of his creative portfolio, positioning Malone as both musician and creative director. The anticipation is heavy; speculation swirls over whether he's going full high-end luxury or blending the rugged Western vibe and streetwear grit that have defined his public persona. Neither Malone nor his team has revealed details about the “Season One” collection, but insiders say his eclectic personal style—embellished blazers, denim-on-denim, fringe jackets, oversized hoodies—will directly influence the launch.Meanwhile, Post's feature as the face of SKIMS' new menswear campaign has sent social media into a frenzy. Images show him dramatically slimmed down, nearly nude except for camo briefs, on horseback and chopping firewood in Utah's rustic wilds. The campaign's outdoorsy, country-chic visuals have been met with universal acclaim. Kim Kardashian herself said that having Post lead the collection was “the perfect fit.” Malone spoke to GQ and Yahoo Entertainment about his newfound confidence, joking that the shoot made him feel like “a handsome son of a b-tch.” The dramatic weight loss—reportedly 27 kilograms—has been a major talking point among fans, with some expressing concern about his skinny frame while others celebrate his transformation. He attributes the change less to grueling exercise and more to cutting out sugary sodas, replacing them with grilled chicken and hot sauce—details he recently shared on The Joe Rogan Experience and Howard Stern.In music, Post continues riding high. On August 18, he delivered an extended, crowd-pleasing performance of “Congratulations” in Berlin as part of his ongoing European tour, which follows the success of his debut country album, F-1 Trillion. That record, released just a year ago, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and spawned several hit singles featuring Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, and Luke Combs. His artistic reinvention as a rapper-turned-country star is still reverberating—country stations and fans are reliving the milestone of his first Grand Ole Opry stage performance from last August, a moment highlighted on Instagram this week.On social media, his every move is tracked rabidly by fan accounts and pop culture hubs. Culted, among others, shared the news of his Paris runway debut, while his SKIMS campaign dominated posts and reels throughout the week. The intersection of his personal transformation, brand launches, and ongoing musical evolution has fans and fashion insiders watching closely, wondering just how far Post Malone will expand the boundaries of his already multifaceted brand.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Ep 224 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the latest food tech controversies, celebrity collabs, and policy changes shaping agriculture — with their usual dose of skepticism and ranch wisdom. First up: Bill Gates-backed lab-grown butter made from carbon hits the headlines. The hosts tear apart the sustainability claims, question who's actually asking for this tech, and explain why consumers aren't buying what Silicon Valley is selling. Spoiler alert: it's giving major Beyond Meat bankruptcy vibes. Then, Molly Yeh teams up with Tractor Supply for a clothing line that actually makes sense. Unlike the butter debacle, this collaboration taps into real market demand for functional women's workwear that doesn't look like hand-me-downs from your husband's closet. Plus, Keith Urban's new reality show "The Road" promises to shake up the singing competition format with real concerts and audience voting. The hosts break down why this tour-meets-TV concept could be the next big hit. BUT WAIT — there's more! The FDA is finally fixing a 1963 regulation that's been blocking Florida oranges from juice production. With citrus greening threatening the industry and two-thirds of orange juice coming from imports, this bricks content change could be a game-changer for domestic production.

Emily Ann Roberts grew up in Karns, Tennessee, just outside of Knoxville, with hardworking parents who had deep roots in both faith and music. She went to the church her great-grandfather founded more than a century ago— the same place where she sang in public for the very first time. Her dad introduced her to the rougher side of music, too, playing a lot of Johnny Cash and David Allan Coe as they drove around backroads in a pickup truck. After performing for years in a Mexican restaurant and then being discovered on YouTube, she went on to become a finalist on The Voice, but she soon discovered there was plenty more work to do. These days, she's making her mark as a fresh new voice in country music, releasing gritty new songs like “Scratching Out a Living,” and touring with Megan Moroney. Sid talks to Emily about her love of Southern cooking, her alter ego Yeehaw Memaw, and the advice from Blake Shelton that's guided her every step of the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we’ll hear from singer, songwriter, and producer Mark Miller. For over four decades, Mark has been a driving force in music as the lead singer of the legendary country band Sawyer Brown. Beyond the stage, he’s been the guiding hand behind Casting Crowns, producing their music for over twenty years. Now, as Sawyer Brown celebrates its fortieth anniversary with a brand new album and a documentary directed by his daughter, Mark reflects on how his life and career have prayerfully unfolded. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Hope Reagan Harris. Hope never set out to start a global movement. She was simply a wife, a mother, and a former corporate professional searching for her next steps. But when she leaned into where God was leading her, she discovered that purpose doesn’t pause—it multiplies.

From the time I get up to the time I go to bed, I want the Holy Spirit to just cover me and carry me throughout every minute of my waking day.” - Mark Miller “As I reflect on the forty-year career, I just know that I’ve been amazingly blessed that God has given me this timeframe, and I’ve always wanted to be a good steward of the blessings, the fans, the platform.” - Mark Miller “[As musicians], we’re judged every day on whether our songs are good or not, or whether we have a hit song or not. Well, I don’t have to worry about that when I think of who I am as a man. Because I know who I am in the eyes of Jesus.” - Mark Miller “God sees me right now. I’m not missing out.
