Before Benson Boone took center stage at the 2025 Grammys, he made quite the entrance that had everyone buzzing. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter was all set for his performance at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, but not before an unforgettable striptease that featured a little help from two famous faces – Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser.
Boone, dressed in a classic suit and tie, stood amidst the crowd as Klum, 51, and Glaser, 40, worked their magic. With a dramatic flourish, they tore off his suit jacket, revealing a dazzling transformation underneath. Boone had traded his formal wear for a skin-tight, baby blue jumpsuit that showcased a plunging neckline and his impressive physique.
Once his jacket was off, Boone completed the transformation himself, seamlessly removing his black trousers with a swift motion before heading to the stage. The Grammy audience was treated to an electrifying rendition of his hit song "Beautiful Things," packed with powerful vocals and acrobatic flips. Boone kept the surprises coming, ending his performance with a cheeky gesture that left the crowd cheering.
“This is very crazy for me. There's a lot of cool people here. I'm really excited to perform. I'm kind of like... crapping my pants right now,” Boone shared with PEOPLE, revealing his mix of excitement and nerves.
Earlier, Boone had graced the red carpet in a charcoal suit, looking every bit the rising star. Despite his nerves, he was thrilled about the opportunity to perform and acknowledged the incredible energy in the room. This night was particularly special as it marked his first Grammy nomination for best new artist, a category that included other talented acts like Billie Eilish and Charli XCX. Although the award ultimately went to Chappell Roan, Boone's performance made sure he was the talk of the night.
The 2025 Grammy Awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena, aired live on CBS and Paramount+, bringing fans all the glitz and glamour of the music world's biggest night.
