"Defying gravity": Fans react as Benson Boone performs on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

On June 4, 2025, Benson Boone made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where all of his musical and acrobatic powers were on display. Right from the opening to the end, the latest episode was full of laughter and included several moments that will stay with the viewers.

The episode started with Jimmy Fallon trying to show his skills with a backflip, but ended up crashing into a snack-laden table. This set the tone for the show, which saw Benson Boone repeating the backflip trick once again to close out the show.

The moment caught the fans' eyes on social media as well, as it added to a growing collection of perfectly executed backflips that Benson Boone has attempted in his nascent career so far. The artist is quick to make a name for himself with his backflips, and this incident was no different.

While some fans advised him to tread with caution, others seemed chuffed at the theatrical display.

One fan commented:

"Defying gravity"

Another fan quipped:

"He has no song where he need to be doing all this"

Another fan remarked:

"He is always doing back flips.. like bring something new we are bored"

A fourth fan chimed in:

"Why are people so mean and bitter? Its literally so impressive as if theres no gravity for him"

Yet another fan wrote:

I’m genuinely concerned for him because although he’s clearly a professional with these flips all it takes is for 1 to go wrong in these live settings and change the trajectory of his life. He gotta chill a little"

Another fan joked:

"Snoozefest McSleeperhead had one big hit and thinks he's Taylor Swift...."

Highlights from Benson Boone's appearance on

The Tonight Show

Apart from the backflip competition that took place between Jimmy Fallon and Benson Boone, the episode had several other memorable moments. Boone's vocal powers were on full display at The Tonight Show, as he performed "Momma Song" to the audience. His performance grabbed eyeballs and ended up being the highlight of the show.

This wasn't the only power-packed performance that the artist has delivered at The Tonight Show either, since he has performed "Beautiful Things" on the show last year as well. Both these tracks are a part of his upcoming album American Heart, which is scheduled for release on June 20, 2025. While trying to spark interest for his upcoming song Mystical Magical, he shared:

"I write pretty much everything, me and this guy Jack [LaFrantz]. We are very unserious when we’re together. When we work, even the song I’m singing tonight, ‘Momma Song,’ it’s a very serious song, but that session the day we wrote that song, you would’ve thought we were trying to not write ‘Momma Song.’ We connect so well, and we were just kind of having a day. […] As we get on through the session, we kind of came to what’s called writer’s block, and it’s when you have a melody already, but, you cannot think of a lyric."

He then went on to add:

"Jack’s sitting there, and we’re kind of goofing off, and he just goes, ‘You know, what if you just did this?’ And it looked like he was gonna say something really good, and we’ve been sitting there for an hour, I’m like, ‘This is it,’ and he goes, ‘Moonbeam ice cream / Taking off your blue jeans.’ […] It’s a placeholder, at least. […] It was a placeholder for the day, and then we went home and listened to it, and I was like, ‘You know what? Moonbeam ice cream."

Benson Boone's latest appearance on The Tonight Show made noise for all the right reasons, as it put the full spectrum of the artist's personality on display. The appearance also comes at a crucial point for Benson Boone, as he is set to release his upcoming album American Heart later this month. This will be followed by the artist embarking on his much-anticipated arena tour, which kicks off on August 22, 2025.
