Taylor Swift Gives Post Malone Major Props For His Song, 'Better Now'

Taylor Swift‘s shaking off critics who compare her to a “drunk turtle” — and serving up big compliments to Post Malone for one of his hits.

The superstars came face-to-face backstage Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards, and she immediately told Post she was a huge fan of his track, “Better Now.” One part of it, in particular.  

It looks like this was the first time they met because Post seemed surprised by Taylor’s shout-out — but, still … cool backstage moment we rarely get to see.

Taylor’s bubbly mood shows she’s hardly reeling from the harsh, yet hilarious, criticism of her cover of Earth, Wind and Fire’s “September.”
