Watch: Benson Boone Still Wearing – And Adjusting – That Blue Grammys Jumpsuit
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Could it be a case of "Sorry, Not Sorry?"
Benson Boone went viral for an NSFW moment during his Grammys performance when he reached down and "aggressively" put things right in the tight crotch area of his blue jumpsuit. Days later, though, he has yet to take off the outfit... and he's still wrestling the restrictive fit "down there."
Boone posted an apology on social media for the on-camera moment, which took place just after he had completed a rendition of "Beautiful Things" at the awards ceremony. "Sorry for adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight," he posted to his Instagram Story.
All the same, he repeated the maneuver (albeit less "aggressively") in a Feb. 4 video he posted to TikTok.

The playful video saw Boone going about his life still wearing the jumpsuit: riding a motorcycle, reading on his laptop in bed, and squirting a dollop of whipped cream into his mouth (which was, perhaps not coincidentally, the moment he chose to get his affairs in order once again in the suit's too-tight crotch area).
"I'm not taking it off (it hurts)," the 22-year-old rocker captioned the post.
"when it hurts but you still like it," Boone declared in text superimposed on the video.
Perhaps it's not so surprising after all. Isn't that how songs often describe love?
