Singer-songwriter Benson Boone is doing the rounds online for "adjusting himself" and grabbing his crotch on stage in front of millions of spectators.

The Washington state native, who first cropped up in the music industry in 2021, is renowned for his debut single, Ghost Town, and his acrobatics-riddled live performances.

During his 2025 Grammys performance, Benson Boone delivered his rendition of Beautiful Things with several backflips. However, what caught fans' attention the most was that he ended his segment in the same NSWF manner he began it with: by adjusting his crotch.

Video of the same has since been going viral, with scores online weighing in on why the 22-year-old could do such a thing on such a large platform. Some users have even jokingly suggested that it could be because of his acrobatics-infused performance. Check out what this user said, for example:

"It’s cus of all those flips."

The comments didn't end there:

"bring back shame and class," one naysayer demanded.
"Sometimes you just Gotta do what you Gotta do," another defended.
"I’d like to meet his tailor," someone else shared.
"I suppose if his music is uninteresting, he needs to try something else," one user opined.

Users online were visibly teeming with opinions:

"Ugh I'm shocked he didn't rip the pants off he literally didn't have to do that .... so boring so predictable," one user dissed.
"Sometimes there's just no good way around it," another pointed out.
"we all know his team told him to do that so that he can have a slight chance at attending next year as well and maintain his "relevance"," someone speculated.
"he couldn’t have waited?" yet another asked.

Users were visibly divided over Benson Boone's decorum on stage, and as many sided with him, several more ridiculed him.
