Post Malone suffers onstage fall ahead of San Francisco show
The Grammy-winner, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, fell off stage during a concert at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., a little more than a week before his first-ever headlining country tour is set to wrap up at Oracle Park on Tuesday, July 1.
A now-viral clip shared to TikTok shows the singer walking down the catwalk and kneeling down to raise his red Solo Cup to toast a fan while performing his hit duet with Blake Shelton, 'Somebody Pour Me a Drink,' at the June 21 show. But part of the stage quickly gave out, causing Post Malone to lose his balance, sending him to the floor as fans screamed.
'I am SO sorry Austin,' read the video caption, which was posted on June 22 and has amassed more than 626,000 likes. 'I love you! Such an amazing show.'
The Outside Lands 2024 headliner was able to quickly compose himself and finish the remainder of his set. So far, his subsequent shows have been going smoothly.
Post Malone's Arizona incident is far from the first time he's had to deal with onstage mishaps.
The rapper fell through a trap door during a St. Louis concert in September 2022 that sent him to the hospital for bruised ribs. He updated fans on his condition via a video shared to X, and wound up cancelling a Boston show a few days later due to ongoing pain.
That October, he twisted his ankle after stepping into a pyrotechnic hole onstage in Atlanta. He attempted to shake it off, but shared with fans that he was injured during the show.
Post Malone, who shot to fame in 2015 with his debut rap/R&B single 'White Iverson,' returned to his Texas roots last year, performing an all-country set at Southern California's Stagecoach festival. In August, he released his country debut album, 'F-1 Trillion.' Though he still performs hits from across his discography, including fan-favorite rap tracks, his aesthetic now largely centers on his new record.
Post Malone's current trek, which features support from Nashville country artist Jelly Roll, began in late April in Salt Lake City and has stopped at a total of 26 cities.
His San Francisco concert on Tuesday night marks his first Bay Area performance since his show at Mountain View's Shoreline Amphitheatre last August.

‘The Bear' ‘Worm' Episode Exposes Microaggressions Black Women Face In The Workplace
Source: Photo: Courtesy of FX / Photo: Courtesy of FX Sydney Adamu was minding her business, unraveling her box braids on Season 4, Episode 4 of The Bear, when a voice on the other end of the line interrupted her much-deserved moment of peace. The call, which was presented as an opportunity, was more of a disguised demand and blatant disregard of Sydney's boundaries. Shapiro, Sydney's employee Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto's rival, had been interested in hiring her since season two. Sydney's Black girl magic and talent are the secret sauce at 'The Bear' and Shapiro knows it; he was counting on her NOT to know it. Industries benefit from Black women feeling like they can not say no. Shaprio was so invested in his dreams, he couldn't sense Sydney's hesitation. This is a familiar experience for many Black women, including myself. We are expected to leap at any opportunity because there are so few out there for us. The sous chef, played masterfully by Golden Globe-winner Ayo Edebiri, had ONE day off to get her extra small knotless braids done. She deserved that after a week of dealing with pasta timings and scallop placements. But that was stolen from her by entitlement. According to the American Psychological Association , microaggressions are 'brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults to the target person or group.' Written by Edebiri and Lionel Boyce, the episode is titled 'Worms.' It reflects the realities of what it is like to be a Black woman in the workplace. It shows the tough choices black women have to make at work and the ways they are punished for prioritizing themselves. Microaggressions can come in the form of unreasonable expectations. Despite Sydney having an important hair appointment, Shapiro wouldn't taken no for an answer. He crossed the line instead by asking how much time the hair appointment would be. He felt entitled to her time. He incorrectly assumed it would be two hours. She corrected him, and he was in shock about the length of time exceeding his expectations. Her appointment was in her cousin's living room, but it was still an appointment. He shared that shock, putting her in an awkward position. He refused to let it go. It was unfathomable to him that he might have to ask to see her in advance. Eager to end the conversation, Sydney moved her appointment. She accommodated him because he pressed her. He felt comfortable pressing her. That is a problem. Chefs have insane schedules, and it's understandable that they might call at the last minute, but it is not understandable that they wouldn't accept a refusal from someone who isn't even not working for them yet. That's cringey and a red flag. You shouldn't have to provide context about your edges, kinks, and coils for someone to accept your word. Related: Quinta Brunson, Niecy Nash And Ayo Edebiri Win Big At The Emmys Sydney arrived at Shapiro's soon-to-be restaurant, on her day off with her hair tucked underneath a knitted cap to M.O.P.'s iconic 'Ante Up' blasting as she walked in. He then asked her if she heard of M.O.P. and offered some token facts about the group. There's a fine line between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation. There's nothing wrong with a white person acknowledging Black culture, but there is something wrong with them assuming someone's musical preferences because of the color of their skin. Mansplaining hip-hop history to earn brownie points is also not it. This is one of many microagressions in this episode. His pointed comment about a desire to infuse Afro-Caribbean influences into the restaurant's menu was a desperate attempt to entice the well-rounded chef by appealing to her Blackness, and placing her in a culinary box. He makes assumptions instead of collaborating. It's uncomfortable. Sydney called Shapiro after her appointment, and he asks if she has seen Good Hair . See where this is going? This happens across industries industry. Shapiro promised Sydney autonomy, but his actions prove he isn't capable of seeing her as his professional equal. His performative allyship shadows his every good intention. Janicza Bravo directed the story with care, zooming in on the little moments that cause friction in the professional lives of Black women. The Italian family running The Bear may not be experts on intersectionality, but they are consistent. They expose everyone to the same 'energetically musty' environment. Shapiro pretended to value Sydney more than he did. Sometimes, a well-meaning white person can be more dangerous than an outwardly hateful one. That said, the Berzattos are broke, and it is truly awful that Sydney has to choose between sustainable income and emotional security. We should be able to come to work, enjoy our day off, and get paid enough to live off without being asked invasive questions about our beauty procedures. Shapiro insulted Sydney the second that she said no to him. He started attacking her skills and acting like she was missing out on a great opportunity to learn from him. The talent he praised her for and was chasing after suddenly wasn't good enough because it wouldn't bend to his will. He didn't feel disappointed that she wasn't joining him. He felt disrespected. This was a person who saw Sydney as a woke accessory. No amount of anti-racist reading lists was going to fix his core issue. He expected her to be grateful for the chance to assist him. Did he call her a slur? No. But he was the disrespectful one. Sydney went with the devil she knew. Shapiro accused her of staying on a sinking ship, but that was her decision to make, and she had the right to make it. Season 4 of The Bear is now streaming on Hulu.

Travis Kelce reveals how long Taylor Swift's surprise Tight End U performance had been in the works
Taylor Swift's performance at Tight End University in Nashville last week wasn't a surprise to everyone. During Wednesday's installment of the 'New Heights' podcast, star Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce explained that he and the 14-time Grammy winner pre-planned her on-stage appearance at the Tight Ends & Friends event, where she performed a rendition of her hit song 'Shake It Off' with country singer Kane Brown. 'We're in Nashville, she grew up in Nashville, she moved there when she was younger, and yeah, we had this planned for a while that we were going to have some fun with the tight ends, especially tight ends and friends, all the evening events,' Kelce told his brother and co-host, Jason Kelce. 3 Taylor Swift performed a rendition of her hit song, 'Shake It Off' at Tight End University in Nashville. X 'I'll say this, I won't say when the idea came up, but when we were there at tight end and friends, and we knew there was a professional like Kane Brown, who can figure it out, he's a pro, he's been on stage a million times he's not shy at all by any means, he's a true professional. 'Tay just kind of went up to him and the band and was just like, 'Hey, if you guys are down, I'll go up there and play a song and see if we can pop the roof of this place.' She's so good with everybody, just people and making people feel comfortable in it and rocked the stage yet again. It was awesome.' The three-time Super Bowl champ explained that Swift wrote sheet music for the band, adding she 'killed it,' despite not practicing before hitting the Brooklyn Bowl stage in Tennessee. Swift played the guitar while the crowd sang along to her 2014 smash single, including Kelce, who was seen backstage in social media videos. 3 Travis Kelce revealed that he and Taylor Swift pre-planned her performance at Tight End University, which took place in Nashville in June 2025. YouTube/New Heights It marked her first live performance since her blockbuster Eras Tour wrapped on Dec. 8, 2024, in Vancouver. 'Was this her first time in an event sponsored by Dude Wipes?' Jason asked. 'It has to be the first and only, I would assume,' the Chiefs star jokingly replied. 3 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce take in Game 4 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Fla., Thursday, June 12, 2025. AP Swift joined Kelce at this year's TEU for multiple events, where she spent time with other wives and girlfriends of fellow tight ends, including Claire Kittle, the wife of 49ers' George Kittle. Kelce, Kittle and retired tight end Greg Olsen co-founded TEU in 2021 in Nashville as a means for other tight ends to train and bond over the position.

'Everything is so hard'—Olivia Culpo's viral TikTok captures a third-trimester truth
Olivia Culpo may be a supermodel married to an NFL star, but her third-trimester date night prep? It's all of us. In a now-viral TikTok with over 1.1 million views, Culpo gives the internet a painfully real—and hilariously glamorous—look at getting dressed with a baby bump. 'Alright guys, last date night as a pregnant lady,' the 33-year-old begins. 'Maybe, possibly, we'll see. They come when they want to come.' And what followed is basically the mom-to-be version of a CrossFit workout: strategic dress-stretching, deep-breathing through shoe application, and a triumphant mirror pep talk when she finally gets her heels on. 'Everything is so hard,' she jokes before slipping on her pumps with Olympic-level effort. 'Wow, I can't believe I just did that. I did that. Wow, I put on my shoe!' Same, Olivia. Same. She closes out the look—copper dress, brown pumps, gold studs, and oversized aviators—while trying to catch her breath. And she knows exactly how relatable it is, captioning the clip: 'It's the huffing and puffing for me ' Moms everywhere felt that in their soul. 'Cant breathe….kinda' is the most relatable pregnancy statement. Same sis.' – ambernoel1211 'Held my breath when you put on that shoe ' – @jamiewamieee From viral TikTok comments to group chats everywhere, this video struck a nerve for every mom who's ever fought gravity, dignity, and shoe straps during the final stretch of pregnancy. And while Culpo may have mastered the model-off-duty vibe, she's also opened up about the more vulnerable parts of this journey. In March, she revealed that she experienced a subchorionic hematoma, a condition that landed her on strict bedrest for weeks. 'I was bleeding everywhere,' she said in an earlier TikTok, candidly sharing that progesterone suppositories may be the reason her pregnancy continued. Related: Olivia Culpo opens up about the pregnancy complication that left her bedridden for a month Now, with her baby bump front and center, she's basking in gratitude—and breathing through the bumps, both literal and emotional. This moment—gasping, glowing, gorgeous, and totally out of breath—is something so many of us remember: The weird pride of getting dressed when nothing fits. The bizarre math of which shoes you might be able to reach. The way your body feels both like a miracle and a stranger. There's something oddly comforting about seeing a celeb like Culpo not just share her highlight reel, but also her behind-the-scenes huffs. It reminds us that even the most 'put together' moms are just trying to fasten their earrings while catching their breath—and that counts.
