Held at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, November 20, Malone's performance left a lasting impact on both fans and peers. His heartfelt rendition of "Yours" was a poignant tribute to his 2-year-old daughter, inspired by thoughts of her future wedding.
Opening the awards, Malone performed "California Sober" with Chris Stapleton, setting a high bar for the evening. Dressed in a vibrant purple suit adorned with embroidery and a classic cowboy hat, he returned later for a solo performance of "Yours". The emotional track features lyrics such as "She might be wearing white/ but her first dress, it was pink," which evokes the tender moments of watching his daughter grow up.
Malone's dedication to his daughter didn't end there. He concluded the performance with a heartfelt message, "We love you DeeDee, we love you so much." The evening was made more special with a touching gesture from his friend Jelly Roll, who threw up a heart sign from the audience in support.
The song "Yours" is the closing track on Malone's debut country album "F-1 Trillion", released in August. It offers a gentle warning to his daughter's future husband, reminding him of who holds her heart. Reflecting on the song's significance, Malone shared that it was inspired by the inevitable day he'll give his daughter away at her wedding. The performance was accompanied by acoustic guitars and violins, creating a goosebump-inducing atmosphere in the arena.
Post Malone's foray into country music has been marked by notable collaborations, including tracks with Blake Shelton, Morgan Wallen and Tim McGraw. His performance at the CMA Awards didn't just move the audience; it highlighted his successful crossover.
