The reasons behind Benson Boone’s apology following his incredible Grammy performance

In addition to being nominated for best new artist at the Grammys, Benson Boone created a viral sensation.

While performing at the ceremony on Sunday, the singer of “Beautiful Things” took off his formal wear to show off a form-fitting, sparkling blue jumpsuit that left little room for interpretation.

After adjusting his jumpsuit’s crotch toward the end of his performance, he thanked the audience for their thunderous cheers. The audience responded with some wide-eyed reactions to the maneuver.

Boone later shared a picture of himself along with a message on his Instagram stories after the internet had a lot to say about the incident.

“Sorry for adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight that thing was aggressively restricting in certain areas,” he wrote.

Earlier, Boone told Access Hollywood that being at the Grammys felt like “a fever dream.”

“It is so psycho,” he said. “I went to do rehearsals and just looking at the little name tags of who is going to be watching?…It’s the ultimate honor to be here tonight.”

Boone lost the best new artist prize to Chappell Roan, despite receiving great reviews for his performance and special attention for his clothing change.
