About this listen

 It has been an eventful few days for Blake Shelton on nearly every front. The biggest headline is Blake’s involvement in the 2025 American Music Awards, which drew controversy when fans learned that both his and Gwen Stefani’s performances were pre-taped rather than broadcast live. After videos from inside the show sparked backlash on social media, Blake set the record straight on X, noting that he and Gwen delivered exactly what was asked, saying there was “really nothing else to say.” He appeared unfazed by the negativity, with his supporters quickly defending the couple and calling the drama overblown. His performance of “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” and Gwen’s set of three songs still received praise from viewers, keeping their music front and center despite the debate, as reported by Parade, TV Insider, and Rolling Stone.

Personal news also took center stage as Blake Shelton mourned the loss of someone close to him, sharing a heartfelt message on social media. While details remain private, IMDb reports a genuine outpouring of condolences from fans, reflecting both Blake’s approachable public image and the meaningful relationships he maintains beyond the stage.

On the business side, CBS announced that Blake’s latest reality competition series, “The Road,” will debut October 19. The show puts 12 emerging country artists on a tour opening for Keith Urban, competing for a career-launching prize of $250,000. This project not only strengthens Blake’s producer and mentor credentials but sets him up as a major force in country talent development, with exclusive details released by CoyoteCountry and further coverage by TV Insider.

Meanwhile, at the major “Band Together Texas” benefit concert, Blake’s collaboration with Post Malone was one of the key performances helping raise over $8.5 million for flood relief, based on reports by NashFM, cementing his ongoing commitment to charity and the greater country music community.

Blake’s lighter side was on full display during a playful late-night TV stint. According to NBC Insider, he clucked out “Ho Hey” in a full chicken costume alongside Jimmy Fallon, keeping his self-deprecating humor in the spotlight and earning plenty of viral social buzz.

Blake also couldn’t resist weighing in on Gwen Stefani’s continued role as a coach on “The Voice.” Joking that maybe “she doesn’t want too much family time,” he underlined the balance between their private life and public personas, with PopCulture noting the couple’s ability to handle shifts and speculation in stride.
