Post Malone's latest album beerbongs & bentleys is full of potential hits with every track having the potential to stick in your head for the remainder of the day. While it may be difficult for Posty to choose the next single to his record-breaking project, Taylor Swift likely just made his decision a little easier.
The Stoney artist was a guest at last night's Billboard Music Awards, winning big in the "Top Rap Song" category with the 21 Savage-assisted "Rockstar" and earning his first major award in the process. The last year has been full of stellar accomplishments for Post and the BBMA win is just another notch on his belt. He also appears to be gaining traction as a songwriter with some of his more famous peers in pop music with Taylor Swift recognizing the genius behind his "Better Now" melodies.
In a video shared by his manager Dre London, Post walks by Taylor Swift in the backstage area of last night's event as she exclaims, "'Better Now' is so insane. I'm so jealous of that song. That hook." The "White Iverson" penman graciously accepts the compliment, thanking her as they head their separate ways. With Taylor's questionable link to hip-hop after her public feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, it's unlikely that Post and Taylor will collaborate in the future but as one of music's longstanding figures at the top of the game acknowledging his strengths, Malone's prowess is being recognized on a larger scale with every passing day.
