<\/p>\n“It really changed my perspective on so many things that I want to carry into my own career,” he said of Swift’s Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been almost a year since Benson Boone opened for Taylor Swift at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium during her record-breaking Eras Tour, and while he\u2019s a big fan now, that wasn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old singer sat down with Rolling Stone for a new interview published this week, in which he recalls the moment he was told about opening for Swift.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t even know much about her,\u201d Boone told the publication. \u201cHer team reached out, and I literally, like, s\u2014 my pants. I could not believe it. It was insane, so I started listening to more of her music. I didn\u2019t want to go to that show and not know anything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He\u2019s since grown into a fan.<\/p>\n \u201cShe is an unbelievable performer and has an unbe\u00adlievable world built around her that is unmatched,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt is incredible to see how vastly gigantic her show is, just countless moving parts behind the scenes that nobody knows about. She is one of a kind. Such a genuine person. I got the privilege to talk to her, for a while, and she\u2019s so kind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Boone continued, \u201cAnd she shouted me out onstage, which you do not need to do. It really changed my perspective on so many things that I want to carry into my own career.<\/p>\n Just the way I treat people and my crew, watching the way that she treats people. There\u2019s a lot of people who don\u2019t like Taylor Swift. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if you have something against her and you don\u2019t know her, I don\u2019t think that is fair.\u201d<\/p>\n 2024 was a breakthrough year for Boone beyond his gig at the Eras Tour, thanks to the release of his Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit, \u201cBeautiful Things.\u201d He performed the track at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where he was nominated for best new artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “It really changed my perspective on so many things that I want to carry into my own career,” he said of Swift’s Eras Tour.
