Not long ago, an article from HDD discussed how non-country artists - some considered outsiders -, such as Beyoncé and Post Malone, attempting to dominate the country music scene has sparked resentment among the "Nashville elite" and "influential people" for country-labels.
Considering her background, I wouldn't be surprised if were to sign a deal with a Nashville-based label for her possible/future country project...
But I don't see it coming anytime soon.
Yes on all of this. Only thing I’ll say is that Post is actually being pretty well received, he’s been laying the groundwork for this for quite some time, he’s had numerous performances of him singing country songs go viral over the past few years, plus he has legitimate roots in the genre. He’s also always been a big supporter of the independent country scene, wearing band shirts from the scene and shouting artists out. The staunchly traditional country music article website I read a lot said this about his ACM’s peformance (same night as Avril): “ Then Post Malone came out, and unequivocally played the most country song of the night, with a country band of steel guitar and fiddle…”.
I say this because he is actually an example that it CAN be done if it’s done right. He’s given Avril the playbook if she wants to make country happen, I honestly think she’s already on that path, the viral Shania cover and the ACM performance with Nate is very reminiscent of how Post started laying the groundwork for a country album. It just takes time, hopefully by the time she’s paid the proper dues for it to be done she hasn’t lost interest lol.
