It was the biggest tour of his life. The tickets sold out in record time and it was the first tour he rehearsed for. Everything is bigger and better. He is taking his pop star title very seriously. Descending from the ceiling on a blue chandelier, a long custom stage down the center of a stadium, costume changes and colorful microphones. The whole nine yards.

Was Benson nervous? Extremely. More than just pre-show jitters. This tour marks a milestone in his career. Everything he has worked for has led up to this moment. But he was ready. He knew the show, he had rehearsed all he could. Now, it was time to start the tour with a bang.

And it did. The audience is amazing. The adrenaline of performing courses through his veins. He’s played large crowds before, but there is something unreal about hearing his voice in a stadium. And hearing the crowd of voices singing his songs back to him. It fills him with joy that his music makes this much of an impact.
