A Full Gallery of Benson Boone’s Impressive Onstage Backflips

Benson Boone is not only a dynamic vocalist, but an equally powerful onstage performer. The singer has been blowing fans away during his performances with his wild, off-the-piano backflips.

The Freddie Mercury-esque stage presence has helped catapult Boone into pop stardom, following the release of his Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit, “Beautiful Things.” He performed the track at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where he was nominated for best new artist. As expected, he did his signature flip-off-the-grand-piano move, before busting out another forward flip later on in the performance.

“I think I knew after I heard the chorus with production that this could be a really big song,” he previously told Billboard of the enduring hit. “With teasing on social media, and with promoting your music, you never really know what’s gonna go. All I can do is try my best to push it. But I was really hoping this one would go, because I do love this song. And outside of any TikTok video, it just feels like a big change for me — a change in the right direction, that’s more like my other music that will be coming out.”

Following the success of his debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, Boone expanded his world tour — which launched in spring 2024 — with additional U.S. dates followed by Europe, Asia and Australia in 2025.

With so many exciting opportunities to see Boone flip on stage, we’ve compiled some epic photos of his high-flying backflips at his various shows, from the VMAs to Austin City Limits, Coachella and beyond. Check out the gallery below.
