Boone’s Best New Artist Nomination at the 67th GRAMMY® Awards

Benson Boone is scheduled to bring his Wanted Man Tour to Oklahoma in 2026, according to reporting from The Oklahoman.

The tour announcement follows a period of significant professional growth for the artist, including his participation in the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards held on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

67th Annual GRAMMY Awards Performance

During the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards, Boone was recognized as a nominee for Best New Artist. He was part of a group of nominees that included Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Khruangbin, RAYE, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, and Teddy Swims.

Boone delivered a high-energy performance as part of a medley of hits featuring other Best New Artist nominees. He began the sequence by performing his hit song Beautiful Things from the floor of the Crypto.com Arena.

The performance included a theatrical costume change involving guests Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser, who removed Boone’s black tuxedo to reveal a shimmering baby blue jumpsuit. The act culminated with Boone walking on top of a grand piano and performing a backflip off the instrument while singing the chorus of his song.

Context of the 67th GRAMMY Awards

The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards honored recordings, compositions, and artists from the eligibility period between September 16, 2023, and August 30, 2024. The ceremony was hosted by Trevor Noah and broadcast on CBS and Paramount+.

While Boone was nominated for Best New Artist, the award in that category was won by Chappell Roan. Other notable outcomes of the evening included Kendrick Lamar winning five awards, with his song Not Like Us winning both Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Beyoncé won three awards, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter.

The event also featured a win for fellow Best New Artist nominee Doechii, who took home the award for Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal.

The 2025 telecast was specifically reimagined to raise funds for music professionals impacted by wildfires in Los Angeles and to support general wildfire relief efforts through the Recording Academy and MusiCares.
