Post Malone has now officially become a part of history thanks to his appearance on a hit song by none other than Taylor Swift.
Variety is reporting that Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Society, surpassed 300 million streams in its first day of release alone.

One of the songs on the album, “Fortnight,” which features Posty, debuted at No. 1 with 25.2 million streams, surpassing the previous record set by Adele’s “Easy on Me,” and making it the biggest single-day song streaming hit in Spotify history.
Post Malone’s profile in the pop culture mainstream was certainly raised thanks to Taylor Swift, and this is a success that Young Buck hopes to replicate in the future.

Talking to podcast host and fellow Nashville native Ed Clay on his self-titled podcast, Buck spoke about the Music City and his hopes to unite its biggest stars.
“I had a dream that I got this big record with Taylor Swift,” he said. “That’s always been something big of mine to be able to share a stage with Yelawolf, Jelly Roll, Taylor Swift and me. I think we owe Nashville something like that.”

Beyoncé, however, does not need Taylor Swift’s help to make her albums a success, as was recently demonstrated by Swift’s absence from Cowboy Carter.
On March 29, Entertainment Tonight learned that while Swifties speculated that Taylor provided background vocals on Bey’s “Bodyguard,” the rumors — caused in part by someone in Beyoncé’s inner circle — were ultimately false.
Last month, producer Killah B teased a Bey/Swift collaboration, though when the beatmaker shared the information Cowboy Carter was still known as Renaissance Act II.
Killah B, who wrote and produced on “Texas Hold ‘Em,” spoke to TMZ about the much-anticipated project when the news of its arrival was first shared on Super Bowl Sunday.

Asked by the presenters about a potential collaboration with a country artist that is Swift, the producer replied: “You gonna have to wait and see,” before he added: “Let’s just say she is on the approach of shocking the world. I’ll let your imagination decide what that means.”
Regardless of who – or who does not – appear on Cowboy Carter, it’s clear that the album is an unimpeachable hit.
