Benson Boone Serenades Quinta Brunson and Flips Over Her on SNL

Saturday night was anything but chill on SNL — because Benson Boone just turned up the heat AND did a full-on FLIP over Quinta Brunson. Yep, you read that right.

The breakout pop star made his Saturday Night Live debut May 4, and he wasn’t just there to sing — he brought the drama, the vocals, and the acrobatics.

Boone kicked off with his moody bop “Slow It Down,” but it was “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” that made jaws drop — not just for the soaring falsetto, but because he literally somersaulted over Brunson’s head and serenaded her mid-song.

Talk about stage presence.

Brunson, back for her second hosting gig, played it cool — but the crowd? Losing it.

According to People, Boone was all energy and charisma, effortlessly winning over the audience (and maybe even Quinta?) with his high-octane moves and smooth vocals. Entertainment Weekly called it a “show-stealing moment” — and they weren’t lying.

Even Vanity Fair pointed out how Boone’s big moment brought an extra pop to an already wild night that featured skits like Forever 31 and the hilariously spicy OnlySeniors.

Quinta and Benson didn’t just deliver individually — they bounced off each other like seasoned pros. Chemistry? Check. Talent? Double check.

And yes, internet — there are already GIFs of that flip. Go look. We’ll wait.

Benson’s album American Heart drops June 20 — but he may have already won America’s heart with this wild SNL stunt.
