Now this is how you advertise your new country album.
You would have to live under a rock to have missed Post Malone’s official entry into country music with F-1 Trillion. It sold enough units to be certified gold before it was even released, and the project is now on its way to becoming Post Malone’s first number one album since 2019.
If I was a betting man, I’d say that Post Malone goes country again sometime in the future.
Though if he does, they’d probably have to get a new truck to grace the cover of the next album. The classic Ford that they plunged into water is looking a little rough now, but it did make for quite the artistic album cover. Some were trying to figure out how they “balanced the vehicle on the water” for the shot that graced F-1 Trillion.
The answer is that they didn’t balance it… they legitimately dropped it from a crane, and captured the moment right before it submerged:
Instead of taking the old truck into a body shop afterwards, Post Malone and his team are now touring the vehicle around for promotional purposes. Posty is showing yet again that he knows a thing or two about the music industry. People will flock to wherever this crushed truck is parked to get a picture “for the Gram.”
And what better place to park it than downtown Nashville? The actual truck that was used for the album cover art is now sitting right outside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, where fans can stop by to see it with their own eyes and capture clout-boosting pictures with their phones.
Bridgestone Arena posted pictures of the Nashville Predators mascot, Gnash, posing by the beat-up truck, and the message that rests on the front grill is rather comical:
“For Sale: Famously pre-owned. Minor repairs needed, some water damage.”
