The morning after celebrating the premiere of “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley,” Post Malone — wearing the Texas Rangers jacket and white cowboy hat he donned at Sundance — showed up at the Pizza Hut in Cottonwood Heights. Malone lives in Cottonwood Heights and has previously called the city “ the most amazing place ever .”

A 20-year-old Pizza Hut manager in Cottonwood Heights wasn't expecting to be starstruck when he prepared to open the restaurant Saturday.

Post Malone is headed to New Orleans. As announced Wednesday (Jan. 29), the superstar is set to perform at the official Super Bowl Tailgate hosted this year by YouTube, taking the stage in Louisiana just before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles Feb.

As for this year’s Super Bowl music, Kendrick Lamar of course has the honor of performing the halftime show, alongside recently announced guest SZA. Jon Batiste found his way into the festivities, too, as he’ll deliver a performance of the national anthem.

To ring in the momentous sporting event, Grapevine-raised musician Post Malone has been tapped for several appearances — the latest being the championship game’s tailgate concert sponsored by YouTube.
