Bailey Zimmerman left quite the impression on Post Malone the first time they met.
During a recent appearance on Highway Mornings With Cody Alan, the singer hilariously recalled how a fashion faux pas left him in between a “Rock and a Hard Place” in front of the “Better Now” rapper-turned-country superstar.
In April, Zimmerman was forced to end his set at Stagecoach 2024 in California early due to severe weather.
Feeling frustrated, and wanting to give the fans a show, the 24-year-old stripped down to his skivvies, threw his clothes into the crowd, and ran off.
The “Religiously” singer got back to his tour bus, and he and his crew were “drinking” and “hanging” when he caught a glimpse of Malone.

Having never met the “Fortnight” singer, Zimmerman scurried over to where he was. However, Malone had a confused look on his face upon his arrival.
It was then, Zimmerman realized in his fit of excitement to finally kick it with Malone, he had forgotten to redress.
“Oh, yeah! Oh, my gosh, I’m so sorry!” a mortified Zimmerman blurted out, telling host Cody Alan that he quickly retreated back to his bus.
“Dude, Post Malone just met me in my tighty-whities. What a story!” he recalled as his first thought following the awkward ordeal.

Zimmerman appears to be making it a habit shedding his clothes in front of an unexpecting audience.
During the Las Vegas stop of Morgan Wallen‘s One Night at a Time Tour, the country singer started the show wearing a Las Vegas Raiders shirt — A seemingly appropriate apparel choice given the concert was being held in the stadium that the former Oakland Raiders now call home.
The crowd began profusely booing Zimmerman to the point that he stopped the show and stood there with a confused look on his face. He gave a thumbs down signal and pointed to his shirt as the booing continued.
“You guys want me to take it off or what?” he shouts after trying to sing over the disappointed crowd. He then gives in to the peer pressure, rips the shirt off and chucks it into the crowd.
Watch the moment — shared by the “Religiously” hitmaker — below.
Feeling more confident, Zimmerman flawlessly completed the rest of his set shirtless.
Malone entered his country era in August with the release of F-1 Trillion.
The album, featuring collabs with Wallen, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album charts.
Top 20 Songs of 2024, Ranked (So Far)
New country artists rule this Top Country Songs of 2024 list, but that doesn’t mean traditional country isn’t represented early and often.
Airplay charts, sales data and streaming numbers helped make this list of country music’s Top 20 Songs of 2024, but staff and Taste of Country reader opinion were most influential.
Songs included on previous Top Country Songs lists were not eligible. A song may have been released in 2023, but it had to have the majority of recorded airplay or impact this year to count.
