\n\tBenson Boone<\/a> broke out his signature backflip<\/a> on Thursday (May 1) to promote his upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the first SNL<\/em> promo opens, the pop sensation is nowhere to be found, missing his cue after host Quinta Brunson excitedly introduces him as the episode\u2019s musical guest. \u201cHuh, he was supposed to flip into frame,\u201d SNL<\/em> standout Sarah Sherman points out, leading Brunson to worry, \u201cYeah, I hope he\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly after the two women start calling out Boone\u2019s name does the \u201cBeautiful Things<\/a>\u201d singer tumble onto the screen \u2014 backflipping into Studio 8H as Brunson and Sherman let out screams of surprise. (\u201cHi ladies! Gotcha!\u201d he adds with a grin.)<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a second promo, Brunson keeps a giddy Boone from doing another flip, amusingly muttering, \u201cHe be flippin\u2019,\u201d under her breath in the process.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2025 best new artist Grammy nominee<\/a> isn\u2019t the only person launching himself head over heels in the video, either. In the final segment, Sherman volunteers to be the one to try out the gymnastics move with an unworried \u201cI\u2019ll figure it out!\u201d Naturally, this leads to disaster with the comedian sprawled out on the studio floor and unable to move, her limbs contorted in unnatural angles as an on-set medic attends to her (fake) injuries.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoone\u2019s debut appearance on the long-running sketch series is sure to continue building excitement for his highly anticipated sophomore album, American Heart<\/em>, which will be released June 20 and feature previously released singles \u201cSorry I\u2019m Here for Someone Else\u201d and \u201cMystical Magical<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 22-year-old heartthrob\u2019s sure-to-be aerial performance on the stage of Studio 8H also follows his rollicking sets at Coachella last month, which included plenty of backflips and a surprise appearance<\/a> on weekend 1 of Queen guitarist Brian May for a cover of \u201cBohemian Rhapsody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch Boone flip out over his upcoming Saturday Night Live<\/em> gig below. <\/p>\n
