Benson Boone is once again out here causing polite society to clutch its pearls. After leaving the entire music industry gagged at the Grammys, the 22-year-old heartthrob/pop sorcerer/special-effects enthusiast said, “Let’s do it again, but this time… spicier.”
On Monday night (May 26), at the ridiculously glam Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas — because where else do you host the AMAs when the goal is luxury and glitter-induced blindness — Benson dropped his new single “Mystical Magical” with all the subtlety of a fireworks show inside a Gucci store.
And guess who made another cameo? None other than Heidi “I’ve Been Slaying Since Before You Were Born” Klum and Nikki “Queen of One-Liners” Glaser. These two icons were just trying to enjoy their champagne and mind their business when Benson descended into the audience like a chaotic fairy godbro.
At the Grammys, they ripped off his costume like it was a gender reveal party sponsored by Balenciaga. This time? Oh, you better believe he leveled up. Our boy strutted over, put his finger on Heidi’s mouth like he was about to share the WiFi password, while Nikki reached out like she was auditioning for “The Bachelor: Pop Star Edition.”
This wasn’t a performance — it was a theatrical event. It was “Phantom of the Opera” meets “Magic Mike” with a splash of “America’s Next Top BFF Moment.”
And yes, fashion detectives, we saw it. Benson hit the red carpet earlier that night dripping in Dolce & Gabbana — because obviously. This man didn’t just dress for the occasion, he manifested the occasion.
Scroll down for a screencap of the madness. Frame it. Make it your vision board. We’re living in Benson Boone’s glitter-soaked, finger-pointing, D&G-drenched universe now.
