Grapevine native Post Malone goes country

Driving the news: Malone will perform Thursday at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco.

• The show announced performances by Malone and Noah Kahan last week. Malone is expected to perform solo, per Variety.

The big picture: Malone is wearing an iconic Dallas cap in the "I Had Some Help" video, which had more than 1 million views within the first eight hours Friday.

• The forest green True Brvnd hat he also wore at the Super Bowl is currently sold out.

Zoom in: The singer has worked with the brand in the past. The veteran-owned local business has Malone's picture on its website.

• The brand launched in 2020 when "the world felt upside down" — hence the upside-down Dallas hats.

📞 Phone fact: Posty looks good in a phone booth. His latest video starts with him making a call.

• He also uses quarters to dial someone in Taylor Swift's "Fortnight" music video.
