The stadium setup stole the show, with bright lights and fireworks galore. Massive illuminated cowboy and cowgirl signs bracketed the expansive stage and made for an immersive visual experience, alongside other decor and massive screens so everyone in the stadium was able to see.

Malone had six different drinks while on stage, though he lost the fifth and poured a good chuck of the first and sixth into the crowd. He also interacted with fans, catching things they threw at him and wearing them—like a necklace with his face on it and a cowboy hat.

The Utah crowd was nearly as enthusiastic for Jelly Roll's opening set as they were for Malone. The artist, best known for his Southern hip-hop style, was the perfect precursor to the headliner. Jelly Roll's handful of songs had the crowd singing along emotionally, especially during "I Am Not Okay."

"I believe music can heal people," he said, before performing the song.

Jelly Roll also spoke about how this was his first stadium tour, and showed love to the Utah crowd. "I knew Post Malone was right when he said we had to start the tour at home."

During Malone's set, he performed a song with Jelly Roll ("Losers")—a beautiful duet moment for the two artists. He also performed "Never Love You Again" with Ferrell later on in the night, and wore a Ferrell shirt throughout the show.

Malone came into the music scene nearly a decade ago, but to this day, he continues to be himself on stage: gripping a cigarette in between his mic as he sings "Hollywood's Bleeding" on his knees, dancing around the stage, swearing profusely and always expressing gratitude for his fans.

That's how he ended his first stadium show—by looking back and giving thanks.

"It's been 10 years of me doing this," Malone told the crowd during a pause in his last song, overcome by emotion. "I remember at the beginning, everyone called me a 'one hit wonder.' They said, 'You'll never be in a billboard in Salt Lake City or Rice-Eccles f—ing stadium.'"

He thanked Utah fans for the continuous love they have shown him, for helping him accomplish something he's wanted to do for "as long as he can f—ing remember."

"Don't give up on your f–ing dreams," he told the crowd, "no matter what the f— anybody has to f—ing say about you."
