Taylor Swift Says Post Malone Is ‘Unfailingly Polite’
When Taylor Swift took home her first 2024 MTV VMAs at New York’s UBS Arena earlier this week, she said something sweet about her duet partner Post Malone. The two music superstars took home the award for best collaboration for their work on the The Tortured Poets Department hit single, “Fortnight.”
Taylor said in her acceptance speech on stage, accepting the honor, “It’s so amazing to have the opportunity to thank and honor the people who worked so hard with me on this video.”
She continued, “There is a very clear reason why Post Malone is everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with. It is because you are so ridiculously talented. You are so versatile, and you’re the most down-to-earth person.”
Swift joked, “Honestly, so unfailingly polite. It has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me ma’am. So, do you want to say something, Austin?” Malone’s given name is Austin Richard Post.
The now bonafide country star said, “Yes, ma’am.” Posty said in part in his speech, “Taylor is, um… absolute loss for words. One of the most kind and talented people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”

Malone scored four CMA nominations this week for “I Had Some Help,” his number-one duet with Morgan Wallen. The song is nominated for CMAs in the Song and Single of the Year categories as well as for Musical Event and Music Video of the Year.
Post has been getting to know and work with lots of country superstars this year in Nashville and his hard work paid off with the success of F-1 Trillion topping the Billboard album charts.
While he did not post a response to the CMA love on his socials this week, he did post a note to fans and friends who helped him with his project.
He wrote on Instagram recently: “Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this project. I am so honored to have worked with some of my favorite artists, writers, and friends… I have had the time of my life making this record, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to make it.”
He added, “Everyone keep expressing yourself, having fun, loving what you do, and loving each other. I love you more than I can say. Have a great night mofo’s, and I’ll see you soon,”
