Post Malone Discusses Taylor Swift, ‘Austin,’ Patrick Maholmes, And More With Howard Stern
The artist also shared a story about a competitive game of beer pong with Travis Kelce.
Post Malone appeared on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, sitting down to talk to Howard Stern and co-host Robin Quivers about his new album Austin, playing beer pong with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, meeting Taylor Swift, and more.
During the conversation, Post recalled challenging Travis Kelce, whom he described as “the sweetest dude,” and his quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a high-stakes game of beer pong. Post Malone lost. “What was the penalty?” Howard asked. “I had to get a Kansas City Chiefs tattoo,” Post lamented. “It’s on my arm.” “They’re athletes!” Post exclaimed before noting fatherhood had weakened his game. “It did affect my beer pong skills. It automatically takes two points off,” he said with a laugh.
Regarding Taylor Swift, Post said, “She is genuinely one of the most kind and considerate [people] … and a f_____g hell of a songwriter. Holy s__t. Amazing.”
While hanging out with Taylor, the topic of his beer pong loss to Kelce came up in conversation. “I told Taylor, ‘Those elbows were crazy … You can’t have elbows crossing over the table,’” Post recalled with a laugh. “So, I’d like a rematch. I’d like to say here, on The Howard Stern Show: Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes—I am so ready.”
Back in August, Posty took a musical trip down memory lane with a NPR Tiny Desk Concert. The artist brought a full band, including a string quartet and backup singers, to NPR’s Washington D.C. headquarters to perform some of his biggest hits, including “Sunflower” and “Circles,” at music’s most iconic desk.
The set kicked off with an Americana-inspired rendition of 2018’s “Sunflower,” with the strings and vocalists joining in later to give the famous track a totally different perspective. Earlier this year, the song became “the highest platinum-certified single of all-time.” The singer joined his band by playing an acoustic guitar which had his album title, and his real first name, written in sparkly lettering across the neck.
