Benson Boone Is Still Rocking That ‘Extremely Restricting’ Blue Jumpsuit: ‘It Hurts’

After being called out for aggressively adjusting himself at last weekend's Grammy Awards, Boone said he's gonna keep the outfit on, even though it's not comfy.

Benson Boone is more than willing to suffer for his art. The “Beautiful Things” singer who takes a huge risk every time he pulls off one of his patented backflips on stage also has a daring sartorial style. He showed it off once again at last weekend’s 67th Grammy Awards, when he took to the stage in one of his signature, skin-tight glittering outfits.

By now you may have seen pictures of just how constricting that powder blue number was because after the broadcast the 22-year-old singer apologized for “adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively” after the cameras caught him grabbing his crotch with zeal. “That thing was extremely restricting in certain areas,” he explained afterwards.

On Wednesday (Feb. 5), Boone leaned into the awkward, posting a video in which she’s chilling out on a giant sectional couch — still wearing the jumpsuit — with the caption “when it hurts but you still like it,” along with a shrugging emoji. In the 30-second clip, Boone does some more vigorous adjusting while grabbing a can of whipped cream from the fridge and rips through the mountains on a motorcycle to the tune of his song “I Wanna Be the One You Call.”

The bit ends with Boone in bed on his laptop, with the sheets covering his problem area.

Boone was nominated for best new artist at the Grammys, where he was up against winner Chappell Roan, as well as Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Khruangbin, RAYE, Shaboozey and Teddy Swims.

Goldie Boutilier Leads List of Nominees For 2026 East Coast Music Awards: Full List

Other leading contenders are Daniel James McFadyen, Mallory Johnson and Cassie and Maggie. This year's event follows a year shrouded in controversy.

The East Coast Music Awards are back after a year of controversy.

The 2025 edition of the East Coast Music Awards was surrounded by controversy over the firing of the previous East Coast Music Association CEO Blanche Israël. Several artists boycotted the association's awards show and conference and called for transparency about governance and the nomination processes. In March 2025, the trade org published a six-point action plan, and later appointed former Great Big Sea member Bob Hallett as the new Executive Director.
