Benson Boone trades microphone for camera as Seahawks’ sideline photographer at Super Bowl LX

The Seattle Seahawks had a surprise addition on the sidelines before Super Bowl LX, and he was not wearing pads. Benson Boone, the Monroe, Washington native who has proudly supported the team for years, traded his microphone for a camera and stepped onto the field as an honorary photographer. As players stretched and coaches huddled at Levi’s Stadium, Boone moved with focus, capturing moments that most fans only see from the stands.

Dressed in a green sideline bib and holding a Sony camera, the rising music star blended into the pregame rhythm with ease. Yet his excitement was hard to miss. For Boone, this was more than a celebrity appearance. It was personal. He grew up in Washington, cheering for the Seahawks long before he found fame on stage.

From chart-topping artist to Super Bowl photographer

Boone embraced the moment and addressed the team with pure enthusiasm. "This is a big game for me," Boone said. "So let's go out, take a dub, all right? Love you guys." His words carried the energy of a hometown fan living out a dream.

He introduced himself to wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp before roaming the turf, snapping photos as kickoff approached. Players appeared relaxed around him, perhaps feeding off his excitement. Boone did not act like a distant celebrity guest. He acted like one of their own.

His Super Bowl weekend had already been packed. The singer suited up for the Super Bowl LX celebrity flag football game on Saturday and even broke up a pass in the end zone. That competitive spark carried over into Sunday’s championship atmosphere.

Boone joined a list of well-known Seahawks supporters in attendance, including actor Chris Pratt, another Washington native who introduced the team before the game. Celebrities stepping behind the lens has become a trend this season. Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles and Suni Lee also tried their hand at pregame photography in December.

For Boone, though, this experience felt rooted in something deeper. Fame opened the door. Fandom made it unforgettable.
