Benson Boone Says Everything Taylor Swift ‘Touches Turns to Gold’ at 2024 VMAs

Benson Boone gushed about Taylor Swift, saying "everything she touches turns to gold" in an interview with Billboard at the 2024 VMAs.

Later that night, Boone would take the stage as part of a lineup of performers that also included Sabrina Carpenter, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz and more, singing his Billboard Hot 100 hit “Beautiful Things” at UBS Arena in New York City. After starting out on the piano, the musician stood up and did a flip off a riser to match the song’s signature shift in intensity, looking dapper in a sparkly blue jumpsuit. Boone also walked away from the 2024 ceremony with a brand-new Moon Person for best alternative thanks to “Beautiful Things.” He was nominated in two other categories as well: MTV push performance of the year, which went to Le Sserafim, and best new artist, which Chappell Roan took home.
