This week, Post Malone’s F-1Trillion Tour made an unforgettable visit to Boston, MA on Wednesday, Sept. 18. This was truly a show to remember as Post surprised the packed crowd at Fenway Park by inviting his country music friends, HARDY and ERNEST, to join him on stage and amp up the party.
First to make an appearance was ERNEST. “I’d like to sing a song that we duet’d on, I suppose. Ladies and gentlemen, this is ERNEST. Make some F**king noise,” Post yelled, giving a warm welcome to the “Flower Shops” singer.
The pair of artists began to deliver their collaborative track, “Devil I’ve Been” which appears on Post’s debut country record, F-1Trillion. Post led the opening of the uplifting tune before ERNEST joined in on the second verse and joining together to finish out the reminder of the narrative centered around someone who’s trying to clean up their act after meeting a girl worth settling down for.

Then, being the true friend he is, the “I Had Some Help” singer was seen giving ERNEST the chance to take over the spotlight and sing his own original song, “Would If I Could.” In clips that have surfaced on social media following the concert, Malone moves to the side of the stage, mouths along with the lyrics and proudly watches as ERNEST gets the chance to showcase the tender song in front of a sold-out crowd.
While recapping the night with a carousel of photos posted to social media, ERNEST wrote, “It’s not at all lost on me how cool this is. Life is wild.”
The fun didn’t end there because later on, the home of the Boston Red Sox got another dose of country music as HARDY took the stage wearing his Boston Bruins jersey.
“What an absolute f**king stud,” Post gushed as he introduced yet another duet partner.
“We made a song together about trust, about ride or die. If you’re with your ride or die tonight, make some f**king noise,” he said, encouraging he audience to scream in excitement.
They shared a fist pump and proceeded to sing the song that also appears on Post’s latest project – “Hide My Gun.” Pure joy and friendship filled the stage as the unique set of vocals proudly finds the artists revealing that their friendship is so strong, they would even go as far as to help the other person cover up a murder.

Once the performance concluded, the Texas native took a bow and hugged his friend. He then kindly asked HARDY, “Hey, will you sing me a song? Well, I guess me and everyone else in this mother**ker tonight.”
“Conveniently,” per Malone, there just happened to be another guitar ready to give HARDY for his solo moment. Once again, he let his musical guest have their moment to shine on stage. HARDY opted to bring a bit of rock and roll to the show with his heavy hitting song, “Jack.” While belting out the track and even showcasing his epic guitar skills, Malone danced around the stage and kept the energy high.
HARDY and ERNEST took the opportunity to have a bit of fun before the show and filmed their own Morgan Wallen style walkout video. Set to the tune of Wallen’s “Broadway Girls,” ERNEST’s most recent Instagram post shows him dusting off his boots and then turning around to dab up HARDY, making for a spot-on impersonation of his close friend and “Flower Shops” duet partner does ahead of his live shows.
Post Malone has fully immersed himself into the country music scene, which he recently solidified when he made his Grand Ole Opry debut. However, his current F-1 Trillion Tour appears to have something for everyone as his setlist features hits from his early career, as well as plenty of songs off his star-studded country project.
This weekend, his tour heads to Hershey, PA on Sept. 20 and Hartford, CT on Sept. 21.
