Benson Boone Backflips Over ‘Mystical Magical’ at the 2025 American Music Awards

Benson Boone took over the stage at the 2025 American Music Awards on Monday (May 26) to perform his new single "Mystical Magical."

The gravity-defying move also happened to land him right in the front row, where he flirted with Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum as he sang, “I know you’ll come around to me eventually/ If you sit back, relax and join my company/ Oh, baby, trust me.” The coy moment amusingly continued the singer’s recent history of awards show bits with the pair, who helped with the mid-performance reveal of his viral blue jumpsuit at the 2025 Grammys back in February. During the telecast, Boone was up for his very first American Music Award for new artist of the year — a trophy that ultimately went to fellow pop sensation Gracie Abrams in a crowded field that also included Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tommy Richman.
