Post Malone Totally Surprises Super Bowl Viewers With Mellow ‘America the Beautiful’ Performance

Post Malone absolutely took CBS and Paramount+ viewers by surprise during Sunday night’s Super Bowl broadcast. Just before Reba McEntire delivered a stellar-as-expected version of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Post Malone performed a rendition of “America the Beautiful” that many did not expect. (This year’s Super Bowl is airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Click here for a Paramount + free trial. )

Post Malone offered up an acoustic rendition of the iconic song and it was pretty stunning. While he has shown this side of his talents before, many people watching the Super Bowl know him for his work in the hip-hop and pop genres. This stripped-down moment was a welcome surprise to many tuning in to see the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs face off in the NFL championship game.

Scroll on to see some of the reactions to the big moment.
