Benson Boone, the rising star known for hits like “Beautiful Things,” recently revealed that he wasn’t well-acquainted with Taylor Swift’s music before joining her Eras Tour as an opening act. In May 2024, Taylor Swift announced that Boone would support her during the London dates of the tour at Wembley Stadium, alongside Paramore. Boone opened for Swift’s show on June 23, 2024.

The Eras Tour, which spanned from March 2023 to December 2024, was a retrospective celebration of Swift’s musical journey, featuring 10 acts corresponding to her albums and 16 costume changes per show. The tour concluded with over $2 billion in ticket sales, setting a new record.

Despite not being initially familiar with Swift’s discography, Boone embraced the opportunity and delivered a memorable performance, contributing to the tour’s success.
