“So what I’m about to ask is going to mean a lot to you I think, knowing you and knowing the respect you have for country music, and this journey that you’re embarking on now as a hillbilly singer, which is gonna be massive and remarkable and amazing,” Paisley said.
Opry member @BradPaisley is sending out a special question to @postmalone. How’s August 14th sound?

“Would you like to play the Opry? Come play it with me in August. Total invite, and it’s gonna be the first of many appearances I have a feeling for you. Come experience what it’s like to play the show that started it all. You and I can jam together, and a lot of your friends will be there.”
In addition to Paisley, those “friends” also in attendance, according to the Opry listing, are Lainey Wilson, Vince Gill, John Michael Montgomery, the War and Treaty, and more; both Paisley and Wilson also appear as guests on Malone’s upcoming F-1 Trillion, with Paisley on the track “Goes Without Saying” and Wilson on “Nosedive.”
Malone hasn’t yet performed with Montgomery and Gill live, but he has covered their music in his Posty Goes Country phase: Malone and Paisley previously played Gill’s “One More Last Chance” at Stagecoach, where Malone also delivered a rendition of Montgomery’s “Be My Baby Tonight.”
The Orpy show is set to take place two days before F-1 Trillion’s Aug. 16 release. The all-star LP also features appearances by Dolly Parton, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Tim McGraw, Billy Strings, and Hank Williams Jr., in addition to the previously released collaborations with Blake Shelton (“Pour Me a Drink“), Luke Combs (“Guy for That“), and Morgan Wallen (“I Had Some Help“).
