A crop of musicians has gone country recently, from Tate McRae's chart-topping collaboration with Morgan Wallen on "What I Want" to Beyoncé’s Grammy album of the year winner "Cowboy Carter."

But perhaps none has been more fully embraced by the genre's fans and surrounding industry than Post Malone. Already a musical chameleon – with No. 1 hits in hip-hop, pop and rock – Malone went all-in on country with his sixth album, "F-1 Trillion."

The 2024 release topped both the all-genre Billboard 200 and Top Country charts, earned him a Coachella headlining spot and sparked his most ambitious tour yet, the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll.

"I want to make sure I do things with respect. I feel honored that everyone has been accepting and patient with me," Malone tells the Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, in support of Sony's "For The Music" campaign.
