Fans have been left in shock by Post Malone’s ‘awful’ performance at the 2024 Country Music ᴀssociation Awards on Wednesday.

While many of the country stars wowed the audience at the Music City Center in Nashville that night, Post was savaged on social media.

The 29-year-old took the stage that evening to perform the award show’s opening number California Sober with Chris Stapleton.

He then delivered a solo rendition of his ballad Yours, dedicated to his daughter, whom he welcomed with his fiancée in May 2022.

Many viewers were appalled by the quality of his voice, and quickly shared their unfiltered reactions on X, formerly Twitter.

‘The dogs in my neighborhood just stopped howling after that god awful performance by @postmalone,’ joked one.

‘Post Malone hang it up ,you sound like crap I can sing better than you can !!! Sorry for being a troll, but some of this is just terrible,’ groaned one watcher.

‘What the hell?? Post Malone sounds like crap!!’ wrote one astonished X user. ‘He’s so off key! This wouldn’t get one turn on voice! He’s terrible tonight.’
