Post Malone, the popular musician who performed ‘America the Beautiful’ at the Super Bowl 2024, is making headlines for a surprising fashion statement. Despite being a longtime fan of the Dallas Cowboys, Malone was convinced to wear a Kansas City Chiefs jacket during the celebration after the game.
Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, played a key role in this unexpected wardrobe change. As Malone was wrapping up his performance at the afterparty, Mahomes gestured for him to take off his NFL-themed bomber jacket and replace it with a Chiefs one. Caught off guard, Malone agreed to the request and helped remove his own jacket as well as Mahomes’.
The moment was captured on fan footage shared on social media platforms. As soon as Malone put on the Chiefs jacket, the crowd erupted in applause. It was an unusual sight considering Malone’s well-known loyalty to the Cowboys. To signify that he was only wearing the Chiefs jacket for one song, Malone held up a single finger to Mahomes.
This unexpected clothing swap happened after the Kansas City Chiefs secured their win against the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, with a final score of 25-22. The game took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and marked the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl victory in five seasons. It was also the first time a team had won back-to-back Super Bowls since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots achieved the feat in 2003 and 2004.
Post Malone’s performance of ‘America the Beautiful’ during the Super Bowl halftime show was widely praised. Despite his brief affiliation with the Chiefs, fans were thrilled to see him deliver a soulful rendition of the patriotic song. Malone continues to be one of the most successful and influential musicians in the industry.
