Conan Gray Is Unsurprisingly Amazing at ASMR and Backflips | Truth or Dare

We had the chance to hang out with Conan Gray  at this year's Lollapalooza, where he delivered both his first-ever festival performance, as well as a set we will not be forgetting anytime soon. Outside of proving to a legion of devoted festivalgoers why he is undoubtedly one to watch, he also demonstrated that his talents extend far beyond the realm of music. Joining us for a classic game of truth or dare, Gray can now add ASMR specialist and professional gymnast to his already-impressive résumé.  

Conan Gray is taking the world by storm. Since first emerging onto the scene with his debut EP Sunset Season late last year, Gray's imprint on pop has been palpable. From sold-out shows to regularly racking up plays in the millions with his infectious brand of wistful pop, there are no two ways about it–Gray is pop's next big thing. It also certainly does not hurt that he is putting out phenomenal singles like the just-released  "Comfort Crowd" at such a rapid pace.  

For more from Conan Gray, revisit the time we had pop's next big thing in for an exclusive performance and interview below.
