Music fans have been buzzing with excitement over Taylor Swift's upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department. The anticipation is so high that even Post Malone, who is featured on the album, hasn't had a chance to listen to it yet. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Malone expressed his eagerness to hear the album, acknowledging that Swift is a massive artist and she's keeping the album under tight wraps to ensure no leaks before its April 19 release date.
Malone had nothing but praise for Swift, describing her as sweet, kind, and incredibly talented. He revealed that the collaboration came about after Swift reached out to him, and he eagerly agreed to participate. The two artists spent time together in the studio, and Malone described the experience as 'amazing.'
In addition to discussing their musical collaboration, Malone also shared a fun anecdote about getting a Kansas City Chiefs tattoo. After losing a game of beer pong to Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, Malone agreed to get a tattoo of the team's logo with their autographs. It seems like Malone has formed a strong bond with the Chiefs, as he will be performing 'America the Beautiful' at Super Bowl LVIII, where Swift will be rooting for her boyfriend and the Kansas City Chiefs.
