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 performing at The 67th Annual Grammy Awards, airing live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, Sunday, Feb. 2 (8:00-11:30 PM, live ET/5:00-8:30 PM, live PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+.*
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.
