The previously low-profile artist Benson Boone released his now world-renowned song “Beautiful Things,” which launched his career into the limelight. Although Boone attracted attention on season 19 of American Idol for his eargasmic voice, he quickly dropped out of the show to reveal his true personality rather than a scripted version. His latest love song, “Beautiful Things,” recently became the background of a trend on TikTok, sending him into the number one spot on Spotify’s global and U.S charts.
As Boone begins his second world tour, he continues to thank his audience for their unconditional support of his new hit single. Keeping up with the latest trends, TikTok creators post videos with their loved ones or significant others following the lyrics of the song, “Please stay I want you, I need you, oh, God, don’t take these beautiful things that I’ve got,” implying that they truly love the person mentioned. The trend gained momentum and began appearing all over the app. The overflow of love allowed the song to present Boone as a recognized artist today.
“I think Benson Boone’s music is so different. He writes it in such a way that, depending on how you are feeling, you could either cry or dance to his songs. They have so many different layers from soft and sad to big beat drops with happy and energetic lyrics. A few years ago no one knew his name and now I feel like he has a large fan base which he deserves,” sophomore Simran Kant said
Boone’s upcoming tour features his hit song “Beautiful Things” and another well-known hit, “In the Stars.” As his tour quickly approached, he began teasing the name of the tour, “Fireworks and Rollerblades,” to his fans. Tour names typically clue into an upcoming event revolving around the artist, so Boone’s fans became skeptical of a new release or an exciting event during the tour.
Boone worked his entire adult life creating music. He realized his passion for singing in high school when a close friend asked him to partake in Battle of the Bands his junior year. Although Boone lacked prior experience playing piano or singing, he fell in love with music and started posting on social media to promote his newfound musical prowess.
“[Boones] lyrics are so authentic and people really feel them and understand what they are describing. I feel like his lyrics have helped fans realize they are not alone, he also took [the idea] that sad songs’ don’t have to be sad’ to a whole new level with the effects he uses in songs and other aspects. I think it has also helped that he doesn’t cater to a specific age group and everyone can enjoy his music,” Kant said.
As Boone’s popularity continues to grow, his social media following also increases. He works tirelessly to grow his community of fans and produce authentic music. His fans sit on the edge of their seats waiting to discover what he will release next, and with his upcoming tour, Boone reacts to younger fans’ posts and jokes on social media to keep his following engaged with his music. People seem to truly enjoy the ability to see Boone’s personal side and encourage him to show his personality more frequently. Tickets for his upcoming tour, with a stop in Atlanta Georgia, Ticketmaster or his personal website supply tickets provide easy access to attend the upcoming tour.
