Benson Boone just kicked off his American Heart World Tour with a brand new stage design that's raising a lot of eyebrows.

Images of the stage started to go viral over the weekend, with many comparing the shape of the runway and center stage to a pair of testicles.

One user on X commented, "Looks like a pair of balls." Another joked, "This went through several stages of approval before being built, by the way." Some were just straight to the point, writing, "BALLS."

Others thought the design decision might have been made on purpose, one wrote, "this was intentional to get people talking i'm sure of it."

Boone's American Heart World Tour kicked off on August 22 in St. Paul and will make additional stops in Canada, Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Denmark and Norway. The final show is scheduled for November 18 in Sweden ... though it's possible he adds more stops.

The former American Idol contestant also performed on the main stage at Coachella back in April where his rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" featured a surprise guest appearance from Queen guitarist Brian May.

Boone released his American Heart album in June, saying the title wasn't meant to be patriotic, instead he revealed to Rolling Stone, “American Heart is my heart, and it's not my heart because it's American. It's my heart because I'm Benson Boone.”

The young performer has made a name for himself with his live performances, often featuring flips and acrobatics to go along with his vocals.

Boone won a golden ticket on season 19 of American Idol but decided to leave the competition before the Hollywood round, deciding the competition show wasn't right for where he wanted to take his career in music.

He went on to sign with Night Street Records, under Warner Records and things then took off.
