Post Malone will have some help from his alma mater when he performs at AT&T Stadium on Friday.
Why it matters: Post Malone's North Texas pride runs deep — he has gifted Crocs to Chicken Express patrons and Grapevine high schoolers, helped open a Posty-themed Cane's in Dallas and rooted for the Dallas Cowboys even when they aren't great.
The intrigue: Post Malone, born Austin Richard Post, created his first hip-hop mixtape as a student at Grapevine High School.
The latest: The program director at 102.9FM and 96.7FM invited Grapevine High School to perform outside AT&T Stadium. Watch how they reacted.
The bottom line: Seasons changed, but Post Malone's hometown pride didn't.
