Keith Urban and Post Malone Deliver a Fiery Elvis Tribute That Still Has Fans Talking

When some of music’s biggest names gathered to honour Elvis Presley, the result was always going to be special — but Keith Urban and Post Malone took their tribute to another level.

The pair joined forces for a memorable performance during NBC’s 2019 Elvis All-Star Tribute, a star-studded celebration inspired by Elvis’ legendary 1968 television special.

The tribute brought together artists from across the musical spectrum, including Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town and Darius Rucker.

Each performer was given the chance to put their own spin on some of the King of Rock & Roll’s most iconic songs.

Then came Keith Urban and Post Malone.

Keith Urban and Post Malone Take On an Elvis Classic

The Australian country superstar teamed up with Malone for a lively rendition of Elvis’ “Baby, What You Want Me to Do.”

And the unlikely pairing worked brilliantly.

Urban and Malone arrived on stage dressed for the occasion, both drawing inspiration from Elvis’ unmistakable fashion.

Urban sported a glittering grey-and-black jacket, while Malone turned heads in a bright yellow suit paired with silver cowboy boots.

With a jazz band behind them and guitars in hand, the two performers launched into the classic with plenty of swagger.

Their voices blended surprisingly well, with Urban bringing his polished country-rock style and Malone adding his unmistakable rasp and attitude.

Rather than simply recreating Elvis’ version, the duo gave the song their own personality while still keeping the spirit of the original firmly intact.

It was the kind of collaboration that might have looked unexpected on paper — but sounded completely natural once the music started.

Post Malone’s Country Music Journey

The performance also offered an early glimpse of Malone’s increasingly deep connection with country music.

Although he first became a global superstar through hip-hop and pop, Malone had long been open about his love of country music and regularly shared covers of songs from the genre.

Years later, he would make that passion official.

In May 2024, Malone released “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen, marking a major step into country music.

The collaboration became a huge hit and was followed by Malone’s debut country album, F-1 Trillion, released in September 2024.

The record featured collaborations with some of country music’s biggest names, including Blake Shelton, Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton.

He subsequently embarked on the F-1 Trillion tour, further establishing himself as a genuine force within the country world rather than simply a pop star experimenting with the genre.

But long before that country chapter began, Malone had already shown that he could hold his own alongside an established country superstar.

His chemistry with Keith Urban during the Elvis tribute was impossible to miss.

Urban brought the experience and rock-country polish, Malone brought youthful energy and his distinctive voice — and together they transformed an Elvis classic into a performance of their own.

It was a fitting tribute to the King, whose music has continued to bring artists from completely different worlds together decades after his death.
