Gay Twitter Sings in the Key of Thirst as Teddy Swims Rubs on Benson Boone

Gay Twitter let loose with a chorus of thirsty reactions as a viral video of R&B singer Teddy Swims rubbing down a shirtless Benson Boone circulated.

The video, posted by Boone to his Instagram Story, shows the 22-year-old "Slow It Down" singer being handily moisturized all over his chest and abs by Swims.


"There's no better moisturizer than @teddyswims," Boone jokingly captioned the clip.

The moment took place backstage "before one of their shows," People Magazine detailed. "The 'Slow It Down' performer and the 'Devil in a Dress' artist have both been performing at the 2024 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, the radio network's annual holiday celebration of pop music."
