Fans have been left in shock by Post Malone's 'awful' performance at the 2024 Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday.
While many of the country stars wowed the audience at the Bridgestone Arena 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.
