Another celebrity has joined Chiefs Kingdom as Brittany Mahomes convinced Post Malone to don a team jacket at the Super Bowl afterparty in Kansas City, leaving fans surprised at the singer’s change of allegiance.
Malone, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, was in Las Vegas to perform one of three anthems to be played at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday: America the Beautiful.
But he joined the Chiefs after their 25-22 OT win against the San Francisco 49ers, performing onstage alongside Marshmello and The Chainsmokers at XS Nightclub.
The 28-year-old hitmaker, who hails from the Dallas suburb of Grapevine, Texas, was even willing to put his Cowboys fandom aside for just one song. Malone’s father, Rich, was the Cowboys’ franchise manager in the early 2000s.
But footage from the afterparty initially showed Mahomes taking center stage to convince Malone to trade his Cowboys jacket for a Chiefs jacket.

It took some convincing, as Malone refused to take it off. He was also shocked when Mahomes tired of taking off his Cowboys jacket in front of him as a way to make things easier.
Malone then agreed to wear Kansas City red, but gestured several times to Mahomes that he would not wear her quarterback husband’s team jacket for more than one song.
Fans on X, formerly Twitter, and people at XS praised Malone for making light of the situation.
“Love Post Malone! Nice putting on the Chiefs jacket lol,” one user wrote.
“Post Malone is the coolest man,” another tweeted.

Others called the Chiefs-Cowboys shared history a sign that Malone was willing to wear Kansas City red.
“To be honest, the Chiefs were in Dallas before the Cowboys even existed, so it’s not that bad,” one person said.
Malone previously got an infamous Chiefs tattoo after losing to Mahomes’ husband Patrick and Travis Kelce in a beer pong bet in 2020.
