Benson Boone admits learning about Taylor Swift after Eras tour offer
“Ghost Town” singer Benson Boone is ready to open up about his experience at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. The 22-year-old former American Idol star gushed about his first experience of Swift’s team reaching out. He told Rolling Stone, “I didn’t even know much about her.” “Her team reached out, and I literally, like, s— my pants. I could not believe it. It was insane, so I started listening to more of her music. I didn’t want to go to that show and not know anything.”
He continued: “Her team reached out, and I literally, like, s— my pants. I could not believe it. It was insane, so I started listening to more of her music. I didn’t want to go to that show and not know anything.”
After the initial surprise, Boone took his sweet time to listen to Swift’s music and eventually became a fan. The singer revealed: “She is an unbelievable performer and has an unbelievable world built around her that is unmatched.”
It’s not just Taytay’s art; Boone is also smitten with Miss Americana’s personality. He added, “It 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’s so kind.”
Boone acknowledged how Swift gave her a shout-out on stage, which she didn’t need to do. The Grammy-winning artist has also left a long-lasting impact on Boone. The Billboard Hot 100 charting artist confessed, “It really changed my perspective on so many things that I want to carry into my own career. Just the way I treat people and my crew, watching the way that she treats people.
There’s a lot of people who don’t like Taylor Swift. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if you have something against her and you don’t know her, I don’t think that is fair.”
