Benson Boone was not just a best new artist nominee at the Grammys, he ended up providing a viral moment. The “Beautiful Things” singer was performing during Sunday’s ceremony, when he stripped off his formal attire to reveal a tight, sparkly-blue jumpsuit that left little to the imagination. Towards the end of his performance, he adjusted the crotch of his jumpsuit before thanking the audience for their roarous applause. The move sparked a some wide-eyed responses from the audience. The internet had plenty to say about the moment, and Boone later posted a photo of himself on his Instagram stories with a note. “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.”
