Post Malone has gotta be screaming, “damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t” — after recording collabs with Taylor Swift AND Beyoncé … Swifties love him, but the Beyhive’s pissed.
The drama started when one fan called out the striking difference between Post’s tributes for Taylor and Bey … pointing out he wrote a heartfelt note to TS, but just dropped a simple shout-out for B.
After the release of “Fortnight” — the song he did with Taylor — Post took to Instagram and shared a photo of them in the studio, and wrote, “It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift comes into this world. I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey 🥹 I love you so much. Thank you Tay 💕”
While he also uploaded a tribute for his Bey duet, “LEVII’S JEANS” — from the “Cowboy Carter” album — his caption was a more simple, “i love you @beyonce.”
Several fans on X took it as a snub to Beyoncé, but not all agreed and the debate was on — Beyhive v. Swiftees!
One team Taylor rebuttal explained, “Taylor wrote two posts about him. he gave her same energy. stop crying for god’s sake.”
Another added … “you are acting like as if he’s cursing on beyoncé or he said something bad like.. i don’t see any problem at all.”

Still, others felt Post’s performance on Beyoncé’s album was more impressive … and deserved more than a one-sentence declaration of love.

At the end of the day, Bey and Tay are very vocal about supporting each other. Remember, they attended each other’s movie premieres last year … shutting down any notion of a rivalry.
So, the drama all seems unnecessary — unless, of course, you’re among the overly faithful fanbase of either singer.
