Benson Boone is having quite the year. Since his 2024 single “Beautiful Things” skyrocketed up the charts, he’s been catapulted into young pop stardom. Electrifying stages from Coachella to the London leg of Taylor Swift ’s Eras Tour , his quirky backflips and soulful ballads have only carried the Washington native higher and higher.

As he establishes himself as one of the most promising acts to emerge from the new generation, he continues to keep the internet talking. During the Columbus, Ohio stop of his international American Heart World Tour, the 23-year-old gave a surprise performance of Adele ’s 2015 hit, “When We Were Young.” Much to the internet’s surprise, Boone’s rendition may be one of the best artist covers to date.
