It perhaps wasn't what viewers were expecting, but Post Malone has just delivered one of the "best versions" of 'America the Beautiful' that some people have ever heard.
With the entire world preparing to watch the Kansas City Chiefs go head-to-head with the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII, one music artist has already gotten Americans talking (and this time, it's not Taylor Swift).
As part of the pre-game build, Post Malone took to the stage to perform the iconic 'America The Beautiful' - in a move a lot of viewers probably didn't see coming. However, what an incredible choice - as viewers quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their love and appreciation for Malone's rendition of the song.
Check out his beautiful performance below:"One of the best versions of America the Beautiful I’ve ever heard," one X user wrote, with a second adding: "Holy s**t post malone might have just sung the best version of america the beautiful i have ever heard."
"Wow. Post Malone’s version of America the Beautiful was the best I have ever heard," a third added.
A fourth agreed, tweeting: "Post Malone just blew my mind by singing the best version of America the Beautiful I have ever heard".
The Kansas City Chiefs, reigning champions of the Super Bowl, are on the cusp of making history with a potential back-to-back victory if they can conquer the San Francisco 49ers. This highly anticipated matchup serves as a rematch of the thrilling 2020 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs staged a remarkable comeback from a 10-point deficit in the third quarter to secure a victory over the 49ers.
With the stakes higher than ever, the excitement surrounding the game has reached a fever pitch, with millions of American adults eagerly preparing to place their bets. According to estimates by the American Gaming Association, approximately 68 million American adults are gearing up to participate in the wagering frenzy, adding to the electrifying atmosphere of the event.
In a twist that adds an extra layer of intrigue, some bettors are even placing wagers on whether Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will pop the question to his girlfriend, none other than pop sensation Taylor Swift. Swift's arrival at the venue, noted at around 1:30 p.m. PT, has only fueled speculation and anticipation among fans and bettors alike.
As anticipation mounts for the halftime show, all eyes are on Usher, who is set to headline the highly anticipated entertainment segment. Online chatter is abuzz with speculation about which artists Usher might bring onstage with him (Justin Bieber?), promising an electrifying performance that will further elevate the excitement of the Super Bowl experience.
Enjoy the game, folks!
