Well, Benson Boone hasn’t gone back with a Grammy for himself, but he definitely robbed the show with his performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards Sunday night. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter made the audience of Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena have an entire different feel during Beautiful Things, bringing the house down.
Boone surprised everyone present by starting his concert seated in the audience, dressed in a classic tuxedo. However, just as the crowd got interested, Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser ripped off the tux, revealing a bright blue, bedazzled suit underneath. The singer took center stage from then on, blasting his powerful voice while executing his trademark backflips, a thrilling dynamic of his concerts.

Although the energy and stage presence of the young man were astounding, it was an unexpected moment towards the end of his act that really set the internet ablaze. When Boone struck his final pose, he grabbed his crotch, sending shockwaves and laughter through the audience. Clips of the moment were soon spreading like wildfire on social media, as fans expressed their reactions to the moment.
One user joked, saying, “I hate how boys can do this in public,” while another confessed, saying, “I will be thinking about Benson Boone’s crotch grab for… a WHILE.” Another fan humorously wrote, saying, “Why did Benson Boone grab his crotch like that? Loved his performance though. Holding a note after a full backflip? Insane.”
Still, Benson Boone has left an etched performance where he lost his place in Best New Artist to Chappell Roan. Those competing with Boone include Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims, Doechii, Raye, Shaboozey, and Khruangbin.
Where Boone did not take home his Grammy, a moment that people would never forget – his very first Grammys performance – definitely is one.
