I haven't heard it yet, and I'm unaware of who Morgan Wallen is, but on an unrelated note:

People will be running to credit Taylor for I Had Some Help surpassing Fortnight.

I honestly think it's time we just let an artist's material stand on its own two feet and celebrate its success independently from the success of previous features.

Post Malone is hardly a small name in the industry. His own fans will be the majority of streamers, not Swifties.

Gagged at the numbers. Thought he kind of fell off but I guess Morgan’s power kicked in

Honestly i think an artista doesnt Simply do collabs like these on a whim. He must have been searching for the success. I'm not awarewhat Morgan Wallace did or whatnot that everyone Is talking in every thread. But this kind of selling out without any integrity of the artists music Is so sad. Already some years ago his last radio smash was almost pure pop. Or he's a complete record label slave or a Total sellout and no different from the likes or swits and Sheeran.
