Jelly Roll is a man who wears his big heart on his sleeve. The country superstar took time out on Thursday night (June 5) to thank tour mate Post Malone for taking him out on this summer’s Big Ass stadium tour. Following the pair’s Wednesday night show at New York’s Citi Field, Jelly posted a long, loving tribute to Posty and praising the rapper-turned-country-crooner for inspiring him every night.
“Dear Austin, I say this on stage in some way every night, but man, being on this tour with you has been unreal. I have never had more fun in my life,” wrote Jelly Roll. “The energy of the people is incredible. You can feel the love reverberate around the stadium every night. And that’s a testament to the spirit you embody and what you’ve done,” he added in a post that included a series of pics of the pair on stage, hugging, laughing and clearly reveling in the moment on the massive outing that will continued hitting stadiums across the U.S. through July 1 before jumping over to Europe.
“I am honored to be opening up for you every night, I’m honored to call you brother and blessed to watch you perform every night. The genuine gratitude you have for everything is infectious. The world is yours young man, keep kicking its ass for the rest of us,” Jelly continued. “You are making all your fellow outcasts and losers proud Posty. Thank you the opportunity, I don’t take it for granted so I laugh, dance and sing from the soul every night.”
