00:00:53,752 --> 00:00:58,243
seemed like an odd couple,
but their romance flourished,

34
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:04,190
Gwen Renee Stefani is a California
girl through and through.

35
00:02:08,514 --> 00:02:11,621
She was born on October third, 1969

36
00:02:11,621 --> 00:02:13,746
in Fullerton, California.

37
00:02:13,746 --> 00:02:17,746
She had a Catholic
upbringing in nearby Anaheim.

38
00:02:22,573 --> 00:02:25,629
In 1987, Gwen graduated from high school

39
00:02:25,629 --> 00:02:28,299
and began attending Fullerton College

40
00:02:28,299 --> 00:02:32,549
before transferring to
California State University.

41
00:02:36,749 --> 00:02:39,623
Around this time, she
began performing vocals

42
00:02:39,623 --> 00:02:41,877
for her oldest brother, Eric's band,

43
00:02:41,877 --> 00:02:46,460
an up-and-coming act brimming
with potential, No Doubt.

44
00:02:48,067 --> 00:02:49,567
It was obvious from the jump

45
00:02:49,567 --> 00:02:52,234
that No Doubt had the it factor.

46
00:02:55,762 --> 00:02:58,932
In 1991, the band was personally signed

47
00:02:58,932 --> 00:03:02,676
to Interscope Records by Jimmy Lovine.

48
00:03:02,676 --> 00:03:06,522
The band released its
self-titled debut album in 1992,

49
00:03:06,522 --> 00:03:09,506
but its ska-pop sound was unsuccessful

50
00:03:09,506 --> 00:03:12,173
due to the popularity of grunge.

51
00:03:15,357 --> 00:03:18,527
No Doubt's third album released in 1995,

52
00:03:18,527 --> 00:03:22,284
"Tragic Kingdom" was considered
the band's defining album,

53
00:03:22,284 --> 00:03:25,617
which gained them widespread popularity.

54
00:03:29,414 --> 00:03:32,415
Five singles were released
from "Tragic Kingdom",

55
00:03:32,415 --> 00:03:35,915
including the breakout hit, "Don't Speak."

56

(uptempo cheery music)

65
00:04:12,271 --> 00:04:14,765
"Don't Speak" was a landmark success

66
00:04:14,765 --> 00:04:19,765
leading to the Hot 100 Airplay
Year-End Chart of 1997.

67
00:04:20,055 --> 00:04:22,074
Stefani left college for one semester

68
00:04:22,074 --> 00:04:23,865
to tour for "Tragic Kingdom,"

69
00:04:23,865 --> 00:04:28,865
but did not return when touring
lasted two-and-a-half years.

70
00:04:29,616 --> 00:04:31,887
The album was nominated for a Grammy,

71
00:04:31,887 --> 00:04:36,470
and sold more than 16 million
copies worldwide by 2004.

72
00:04:37,621 --> 00:04:38,805
I think for No Doubt,

73
00:04:38,805 --> 00:04:41,113
this is kinda like the in-between stage

74
00:04:41,113 --> 00:04:43,208
with the state of our record,
trying to be creative,

75
00:04:43,208 --> 00:04:45,564
and not really thinking
about all that stuff.

76
00:04:45,564 --> 00:04:47,727
This is kind of, since this in LA,

77
00:04:47,727 --> 00:04:49,194
it's a little bit of a distraction,

78
00:04:49,194 --> 00:04:51,388
like "Let's go, let's go,
'cause it's right here."

79
00:04:51,388 --> 00:04:53,285
But really, we're trying to work,

80
00:04:53,285 --> 00:04:54,717
trying to make a new record,

81
00:04:54,717 --> 00:04:58,200
and just feeling lucky
to be able to do it.

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,681
[Narrator] Most of the lyrical content

83
00:04:59,681 --> 00:05:02,442
focused on Gwen's often rocky relationship

84
00:05:02,442 --> 00:05:05,692
with then Bush front man, Gavin Rossdale,

85
00:05:05,692 --> 00:05:09,488
and her insecurities, including
indecision on settling down,

86
00:05:09,488 --> 00:05:11,071
and having a child.

87
00:05:11,942 --> 00:05:13,426
- How are you guys?
- Good, good to see ya.

88
00:05:13,426 --> 00:05:15,434

guys really engaged?

89
00:05:15,434 --> 00:05:17,039

00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:18,575
He really wants to marry me.

91
00:05:18,575 --> 00:05:20,479
[Interviewer] Oh, congratulations,
I'm so excited for you,

92
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:23,469
have you guys set a date?
Yep.

93
00:05:23,469 --> 00:05:25,335
We're just, we're right around the corner.

94
00:05:25,335 --> 00:05:26,644
- Are you-
- Any minute now, Any minute-

95
00:05:26,644 --> 00:05:27,477
- Any minute?
- It's gonna be officiaL.

96
00:05:27,477 --> 00:05:28,371
Yeah, we're gonna be late,

97
00:05:28,371 --> 00:05:30,874
if we don't go now, we're
gonna be fucking late.

98
00:05:30,874 --> 00:05:33,797
[Interviewer] Where
did the two of you meet?

99
00:05:33,797 --> 00:05:37,237
We met here in LA at
the Acoustic Christmas

100
00:05:37,237 --> 00:05:40,426
that KROQ does every year,
and I was the opening act,

101
00:05:40,426 --> 00:05:43,258
15 minutes, we got to play,
and he was the headliner.

102
00:05:43,258 --> 00:05:44,405
[Interviewer] Are you kidding,
or are you guys kidding?

103
00:05:44,405 --> 00:05:46,235
We met backstage under
fluorescent lights,

104
00:05:46,235 --> 00:05:50,045
and never stopped looking
at each other since.

105
00:05:50,045 --> 00:05:52,506
(uptempo cheery music)

106
00:05:52,506 --> 00:05:55,548
[Narrator] No Doubt's
2001 album, "Rock Steady,"

107
00:05:55,548 --> 00:05:58,071
explored more reggae and dance hall sounds

108
00:05:58,071 --> 00:06:02,154
while maintaining the
band's new wave influences.

109
00:06:03,327 --> 00:06:04,674
- Okay.
- "Rock Steady" (laughs).

110
00:06:04,674 --> 00:06:07,821
Watch out, December 18th,
the record is coming out,

111
00:06:07,821 --> 00:06:09,381
no doubt, can you believe it?
Very cool.

112
00:06:09,381 --> 00:06:11,816
In one year, we did it,
we wrote it, we recorded it,

113
00:06:11,816 --> 00:06:13,928
and it's actually gonna come
out, it's like a miracle,

114
00:06:13,928 --> 00:06:15,256
- It's a miracle.
- Is that really,

115
00:06:15,256 --> 00:06:16,740
how long does it usually take one?

116
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:19,821
It's taken, you know, up to
three years to do a record,

117
00:06:19,821 --> 00:06:21,471
last record, took about two years,

118
00:06:21,471 --> 00:06:22,976
so we're at like one year.

119
00:06:22,976 --> 00:06:24,491
It's gonna come out
December 18th, and I think,

120
00:06:24,491 --> 00:06:25,813
I don't know when the single's coming out,

121
00:06:25,813 --> 00:06:27,173
probably some time in October,

122
00:06:27,173 --> 00:06:30,013
but we're going over to
England to mix the record,

123
00:06:30,013 --> 00:06:31,810
and it's just really exciting

124
00:06:31,810 --> 00:06:33,416
because doing the whole thing with Eve

125
00:06:33,416 --> 00:06:35,089
has been like a real tease for me,

126
00:06:35,089 --> 00:06:36,734
because it's been fun, you know,

127
00:06:36,734 --> 00:06:38,744
to watch and see it on TV and stuff,

128
00:06:38,744 --> 00:06:41,082
but when it's like our record coming out,

129
00:06:41,082 --> 00:06:42,165
I can't explain it.

130
00:06:42,165 --> 00:06:44,690
When I found out it was
coming out, my heart dropped.

131
00:06:44,690 --> 00:06:46,013
I was so excited, and nervous,

132
00:06:46,013 --> 00:06:48,208
and I can't wait to share with people.

133
00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:50,148
[Interviewer] You still get that?

134
00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:51,638
I'm really nervous right now,

135
00:06:51,638 --> 00:06:53,499
because I'm talking about it finally.

136
00:06:53,499 --> 00:06:55,219
It's just like, it's a
big deal for us, you know,

137
00:06:55,219 --> 00:06:57,657
and this record for us
has been so much fun,

138
00:06:57,657 --> 00:06:59,606
and it's a really
lighthearted easy record,

139
00:06:59,606 --> 00:07:01,093
it's called "Rock Steady."

140
00:07:01,093 --> 00:07:02,524
We worked with amazing people,

141
00:07:02,524 --> 00:07:05,921
we worked with Dr. Dre, we're
working with William Orbit,

142
00:07:05,921 --> 00:07:08,855
Nellee Hooper, we worked in Jamaica

143
00:07:08,855 --> 00:07:11,039
for a couple of weeks recording,

144
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:12,370
so it's just been like a lot of fun.

145
00:07:12,370 --> 00:07:14,319
I just can't wait for people to hear it.

146
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,461

Gwen Stefani's debut solo album,
"Love. Angel. Music. Baby."

178
00:08:42,359 --> 00:08:45,882
was released on November 12th, 2004.

179
00:08:45,882 --> 00:08:48,307
The album features several collaborations

180
00:08:48,307 --> 00:08:50,964
with producers, and other artists.

181
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:53,516
Gwen created the album
to modernize the music

182
00:08:53,516 --> 00:08:55,789
to which she listened when in high school,

183
00:08:55,789 --> 00:08:58,726
and "Love. Angel. Music. Baby."

184
00:08:58,726 --> 00:09:00,766
takes influence from a
variety of music styles

185
00:09:00,766 --> 00:09:03,710
of the 1980s and early 1990s,

186
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:07,099
such as new wave, synth pop, and electro.

187
00:09:07,099 --> 00:09:09,811
(uptempo cheery music)

188
00:09:09,811 --> 00:09:11,825
Gwen's decision to use her solo career

189
00:09:11,825 --> 00:09:14,947
as an opportunity to delve
further into pop music,

190
00:09:14,947 --> 00:09:17,779
instead of trying to convince
the world of her talent,

191
00:09:17,779 --> 00:09:21,990
depth and artistic worth
was considered unusual.

192
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:25,641
The album debuted on the US
Billboard 200 Albums Chart

193
00:09:25,641 --> 00:09:30,474
at number seven, selling 309,000
copies in its first week.

194
00:09:31,331 --> 00:09:33,496
The album reached multi-platinum status

195
00:09:33,496 --> 00:09:36,150
in the United States, the United Kingdom,

196
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:38,363
Australia, and Canada.

197
00:09:38,363 --> 00:09:40,819
[Announcer] Gwen's album
is now six times platinum

198
00:09:40,819 --> 00:09:45,819
worldwide, and still counting.
(people cheering)

199
00:09:45,858 --> 00:09:48,376
(people murmuring)

200
00:09:48,376 --> 00:09:49,209
Wow.

201
00:09:50,422 --> 00:09:52,930
I'm not sure I think I'm
more excited than she is.

202
00:09:52,930 --> 00:09:55,763
I'm excited, I can't believe it.

203
00:09:59,346 --> 00:10:00,871
I need to talk to our
team, but okay (laughs).

204
00:10:00,871 --> 00:10:02,538
Okay, no pressure.

205
00:10:03,479 --> 00:10:05,652
- No pressure.
- We're missing Jimmy.

206
00:10:05,652 --> 00:10:07,746
- Yes, Jimmy get in here.
- thank you guys for coming,

207
00:10:07,746 --> 00:10:09,209
they're starting to leave.

208
00:10:09,209 --> 00:10:10,808
The first single from the album

209
00:10:10,808 --> 00:10:12,535
was "What You Waiting For?"

210
00:10:12,535 --> 00:10:15,286
which debuted a top
the ARIA Singles Chart,

211
00:10:15,286 --> 00:10:19,997
charted at number 47 on
the US Billboard Hot 100,

212
00:10:19,997 --> 00:10:23,304
reaching the top 10 on most other charts.

213
00:10:23,304 --> 00:10:27,034
The song serves to explain
why Gwen produced a solo album

214
00:10:27,034 --> 00:10:29,404
and discuss her fears in leaving No Doubt

215
00:10:29,404 --> 00:10:33,693
for a solo career, as well
as her desire to have a baby.

"Rich Girl" was released as
the album's second single,

230
00:11:08,491 --> 00:11:12,294
I duet with rapper Eve,
and produced by Dr. Dre.

231
00:11:12,294 --> 00:11:16,795
It is an adaptation of a 1990s
pop song by British musicians

232
00:11:16,795 --> 00:11:19,545
and reached the US and UK top 10.

233
00:11:20,449 --> 00:11:23,498
The album's third
single, "Hollaback Girl",

234
00:11:23,498 --> 00:11:25,886
became Gwen Stefani's first US,

235
00:11:25,886 --> 00:11:28,763
and second Australian number one single.

236
00:11:28,763 --> 00:11:31,096

The song was the first US music download

251
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:09,165
to sell more than 1 million copies,

252
00:12:09,165 --> 00:12:10,988
and it's brass driven composition

253
00:12:10,988 --> 00:12:13,624
has upheld its popularity to this day.

254
00:12:13,624 --> 00:12:17,341
(slow relaxing music)

255
00:12:17,341 --> 00:12:20,416
Gwen Stefani's second solo
album, "This Sweet Escape,"

256
00:12:20,416 --> 00:12:24,072
was released on December first, 2006.

257
00:12:24,072 --> 00:12:26,655
The album focuses more
heavily on electronic

258
00:12:26,655 --> 00:12:30,572
and dance music for clubs
than its predecessor.

259
00:12:31,805 --> 00:12:33,619
The act between having a baby,

260
00:12:33,619 --> 00:12:35,848
and now launching your second solo album.

261
00:12:35,848 --> 00:12:37,174
Well, what so far so good,

262
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:39,286
because he just gets to
go with me everywhere,

263
00:12:39,286 --> 00:12:41,892
and he's such a cool guy,

264
00:12:41,892 --> 00:12:43,782
and he just is so chilled out,

265
00:12:43,782 --> 00:12:47,296
and enjoy like when it's just me and him,

266
00:12:47,296 --> 00:12:49,244
he's like what's going
on, because he's so used

267
00:12:49,244 --> 00:12:51,077
to having so many people around, you know,

268
00:12:51,077 --> 00:12:54,404
and he's used to noise and we've
been taking him everywhere.

269
00:12:54,404 --> 00:12:58,602
So it just hasn't really
been that challenging.

270
00:12:58,602 --> 00:13:02,583
I mean the sleep thing is definitely hard

271
00:13:02,583 --> 00:13:05,640
when you don't get to sleep,
and I'm like a sleepaholic,

272
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,944
like I love sleeping.
Oh, me too, me too,

273
00:13:07,944 --> 00:13:09,656
I could sleep for days on end frankly.

274
00:13:09,656 --> 00:13:11,432
I'm like I'd be so happy on the tour

275
00:13:11,432 --> 00:13:14,117
when they're like, "Oh,
12 hour drive, yay!"

276
00:13:14,117 --> 00:13:16,123
- You know?
- Straight to bed.

277
00:13:16,123 --> 00:13:18,950
Exactly.
(slow relaxing music)

278
00:13:18,950 --> 00:13:21,283
[Narrator] Its released
coincided with the DVD release

279
00:13:21,283 --> 00:13:26,283
of Stephanie's first tour,
entitled "Harajuku Lovers Live."

280
00:13:26,365 --> 00:13:29,697
"Wind It Up," the album's
lead single used yodeling

281
00:13:29,697 --> 00:13:32,379
and an interpretation
of "The Sound of Music,"

282
00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:36,212
and peaked in the top
10 in the US and the UK.

283
00:13:37,865 --> 00:13:39,089
Obviously people are gonna
start talking about it,

284
00:13:39,089 --> 00:13:41,028
because of the sample that it uses.

285
00:13:41,028 --> 00:13:41,986
Which is so crazy,

286
00:13:41,986 --> 00:13:44,641
'cause you guys have some
kind of a show over here

287
00:13:44,641 --> 00:13:45,913
for "The Sound of Music," right.

288
00:13:45,913 --> 00:13:47,070
[Interviewer] That's
right, opening in London, so.

289
00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:48,943
Which is weird timing because this,

290
00:13:48,943 --> 00:13:51,863
I wrote this record about
a year-and-a-half ago

291
00:13:51,863 --> 00:13:55,529
with Pharrell, I went down
to Miami just like by chance,

292
00:13:55,529 --> 00:13:57,388
and we did like five songs together,

293
00:13:57,388 --> 00:14:00,890
and this was one of them, and
I ended up doing a mashup.

294
00:14:00,890 --> 00:14:03,412
My whole like fantasy was to
do like put "Sound of Music"

295
00:14:03,412 --> 00:14:04,733
to a beat, you know?

296
00:14:04,733 --> 00:14:06,435
\Cause I love "The Sound of
Music," and I just was like,

297
00:14:06,435 --> 00:14:07,903
that would be wicked, you know,

298
00:14:07,903 --> 00:14:09,516
You took the song with
the yodel in it of course.

299
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:11,320
- Yeah.
- Can you yodel very well?

300
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,597
I think, you know what I sorta can.

301
00:14:13,597 --> 00:14:15,640
It's weird, I'm not like the most,

302
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,030
like singing is sort of
like part of what I do,

303
00:14:18,030 --> 00:14:20,232
it's not really, I'm not
like a singer or whatever,

304
00:14:20,232 --> 00:14:25,232
but I like I can Yodel a
little bit, I don't know why.

305
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:27,654
[Narrator] the single
track, "The Sweet Escape,"

306
00:14:27,654 --> 00:14:29,279
was another popular hit,

307
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:31,504
and earned her a Grammy Award nomination

308
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:35,273

embarked on a worldwide tour,

321
00:15:09,540 --> 00:15:13,072
the Sweet Escape Tour, which
covered North America, Europe,

322
00:15:13,072 --> 00:15:17,113
Asia, and the Pacific and
part of Latin America.

323
00:15:17,113 --> 00:15:19,292
With Gwen promoting "The Sweet Escape,"

324
00:15:19,292 --> 00:15:22,113
No Doubt began work on
a new album without her,

325
00:15:22,113 --> 00:15:25,596
and a plan to complete it
after her tour was finished.

326
00:15:25,596 --> 00:15:27,156
In March, 2008,

327
00:15:27,156 --> 00:15:28,697
the band started making posts

328
00:15:28,697 --> 00:15:30,707
concerning the progression of the album

329
00:15:30,707 --> 00:15:33,456
on their official fan forum.

330
00:15:33,456 --> 00:15:34,740
Going back in the studio with No Doubt,

331
00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:36,150
we'd been in the studio all year,

332
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:37,390
trying to write a new record,

333
00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:39,196
and we have a lot of songs, and it's been,

334
00:15:39,196 --> 00:15:42,506
I think, it's my favorite
time being in the studio,

335
00:15:42,506 --> 00:15:44,740
it's just about like
really enjoying the moment,

336
00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:46,628
and I can't wait for it to come out,

337
00:15:46,628 --> 00:15:49,111
but I'm still kind of
enjoying the process.

338
00:15:49,111 --> 00:15:51,237
We still have a lot of
work to do on the record,

339
00:15:51,237 --> 00:15:52,674
but so next year, hopefully,

340
00:15:52,674 --> 00:15:55,735
we'll have a new record,
and that's the future,

341
00:15:55,735 --> 00:15:57,735

342
00:15:59,416 --> 00:16:02,192
[Narrator] Gwen made a
post on March 28th, 2008,

343
00:16:02,192 --> 00:16:04,195
stating that songwriting had commenced,

344
00:16:04,195 --> 00:16:05,493
but was slow on her end,

345
00:16:05,493 --> 00:16:10,138
because she was pregnant
with her second child.

346
00:16:10,138 --> 00:16:14,939
No Doubt headlined the Bamboozle
2009 Festival in May, 2009,

347
00:16:14,939 --> 00:16:16,963
along with Fall Out Boy,

348
00:16:16,963 --> 00:16:20,880
the band completed a
national tour in mid-2009.

Well, it's real exciting,

362
00:17:27,310 --> 00:17:28,548
because we kind of did it on a whim.

363
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:31,251
We were basically in the studio,
trying to write new music,

364
00:17:31,251 --> 00:17:34,710
and I had just had my
baby, and I was like,

367

is what we kind of do best,

369

[Narrator] Similarly to Gwyn,

406
00:19:47,706 --> 00:19:52,130
Blake's early career skyrocketed
him to the height of fame.

407
00:19:52,130 --> 00:19:55,463
(relaxing guitar music)

408
00:20:08,065 --> 00:20:11,596
Born in 1976 to parents,
Dorothy and Richard,

409
00:20:11,596 --> 00:20:14,444
Blake Shelton lived a
quiet and simple childhood

410
00:20:14,444 --> 00:20:17,775
in Ada, Oklahoma, something
he would reflect upon

411
00:20:17,775 --> 00:20:21,241
in his music throughout his career.

412
00:20:21,241 --> 00:20:24,276
Blake was surrounded by the
guitar riffs and emotive lyrics

413
00:20:24,276 --> 00:20:27,593
of country music, which heavily
influenced his musical taste

414
00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:29,093
from an early age.

415
00:20:34,996 --> 00:20:39,098
By 17, Blake had graduated
from high school in Oklahoma,

416
00:20:39,098 --> 00:20:41,735
and two weeks after leaving,
took a leap of faith,

417
00:20:41,735 --> 00:20:46,652
and moved to Nashville, Tennessee,
to pursue a music career.

418
00:20:46,652 --> 00:20:49,255
It wasn't long before Blake's gamble move

419
00:20:49,255 --> 00:20:51,927
to Nashville paid off as his honest voice

420
00:20:51,927 --> 00:20:55,060
captured the attention of record labels.

421
00:20:55,060 --> 00:20:58,393
(uptempo country music)

422
00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:07,174
In 2001, Blake released
his first ever single

423
00:21:07,174 --> 00:21:08,745
titled "Austin."

424
00:21:08,745 --> 00:21:11,169
The song is a classic story of love,

425
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:13,086
heartbreak, and regret.

"Austin" was a massive success,

434
00:21:49,794 --> 00:21:51,637
becoming his first number one hit

435
00:21:51,637 --> 00:21:53,749
on the Billboard Hot Country Singles,

436
00:21:53,749 --> 00:21:56,900
and instantly boosted his
self-titled first album,

437
00:21:56,900 --> 00:22:01,385
which featured the popular
song, "All Over Me."

438
00:22:01,385 --> 00:22:03,387
The album received positive reviews,

439
00:22:03,387 --> 00:22:04,937
and people were excited to see

440
00:22:04,937 --> 00:22:08,101
what Blake would release next.

441
00:22:08,101 --> 00:22:10,981
Two years later in February, 2003,

442
00:22:10,981 --> 00:22:14,898
Blake released his second
album, "The Dreamer."

443
00:22:15,789 --> 00:22:18,668
The lead single for the
album was "The Baby,"

444
00:22:18,668 --> 00:22:20,627
a soulful track that showed Blake

445
00:22:20,627 --> 00:22:22,574
in a more reflective state.

446
00:22:22,574 --> 00:22:24,851
It reached number one
on the country charts,

447
00:22:24,851 --> 00:22:27,853
holding that position for three weeks.

448
00:22:27,853 --> 00:22:29,480

peaked at number 37 on the country charts

452
00:22:39,742 --> 00:22:42,317
while the follow-up track "Some Beach"

453
00:22:42,317 --> 00:22:43,832
became his third number one hit,

454
00:22:43,832 --> 00:22:46,832
holding the position for four weeks.

455
00:22:47,933 --> 00:22:49,653
Blake released his fourth studio album,

456
00:22:49,653 --> 00:22:51,736
titled "Pure BS" in 2007.

457
00:22:55,066 --> 00:22:57,133
"Pure BS" was a massive success,

458
00:22:57,133 --> 00:22:59,959
becoming his highest
chart-topping album so far,

459
00:22:59,959 --> 00:23:03,669
reaching number eight on
the US Billboard 200 chart,

460
00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:07,293
and number two on the
billboard top country albums.

461
00:23:07,293 --> 00:23:10,546
"Startin' Fires" was Blake
Shelton's fifth studio album,

462
00:23:10,546 --> 00:23:11,963
released in 2009.

463
00:23:12,913 --> 00:23:15,323
This album kept the
Blake Shelton sound alive

464
00:23:15,323 --> 00:23:18,256
with soulful country songs
as well as fun, upbeat,

465
00:23:18,256 --> 00:23:20,173
and fast-paced anthems.

466
00:23:24,944 --> 00:23:27,823
The album's lead single,
titled "She Wouldn't Be Gone,"

467
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:29,428
showed an aching Blake lamenting

468
00:23:29,428 --> 00:23:32,027
on past failed relationships.

469
00:23:32,027 --> 00:23:35,259

472
00:23:40,288 --> 00:23:43,455

Success didn't stop there for him.

513
00:25:45,153 --> 00:25:49,361
At the 54th Grammys, Blake
was nominated for two awards,

514
00:25:49,361 --> 00:25:51,940
one for Best Country Album
for "Red River Blue,"

515
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:54,372
and one for Best Country Solo Performance

516
00:25:54,372 --> 00:25:57,220
for the song, "Honey Bee."

517
00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:59,365
This is a big deal, you
know I've been doing this for,

518
00:25:59,365 --> 00:26:01,145
man, I don't, since 2001,

519
00:26:01,145 --> 00:26:03,636
I think I've made eight albums,

520
00:26:03,636 --> 00:26:05,899
and I've never been nominated for Grammys,

521
00:26:05,899 --> 00:26:08,502
and stuff like that, so I'm proud of it.

522
00:26:08,502 --> 00:26:10,009
I'm pumped about tonight.

523
00:26:10,009 --> 00:26:11,566
[Interviewer] So after
eight years of making music,

524
00:26:11,566 --> 00:26:13,446
does it mean more to have
it finally recognized

525
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:14,529
here tonight?

526
00:26:16,724 --> 00:26:19,614
I don't know, man, you look
back at that things, and you,

527
00:26:19,614 --> 00:26:22,321
I don't think I'll know what
the most important thing

528
00:26:22,321 --> 00:26:24,721
that happened for me
career-wise along the way was

529
00:26:24,721 --> 00:26:27,879
until this is all over, but
I'd definitely want a Grammy,

530
00:26:27,879 --> 00:26:30,278
and I'd like to have one,

531
00:26:30,278 --> 00:26:33,305
freaking Taylor already beat
me on two of 'em tonight,

532
00:26:33,305 --> 00:26:35,627
so I have one chance left,
so I got my fingers crossed,

533
00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:38,168
let's see what happens.

534
00:26:38,168 --> 00:26:40,191
[Narrator] Unfortunately,
Blake didn't win the Grammy

535
00:26:40,191 --> 00:26:41,796
for either category,

536
00:26:41,796 --> 00:26:44,207
however it was clear to see that his music

537
00:26:44,207 --> 00:26:48,529
was getting the attention
of fans and critics alike.

538
00:26:48,529 --> 00:26:51,772
On April third, 2012,
Blake performed "Over"

539
00:26:51,772 --> 00:26:55,111
on the semifinals of the
second season of "The Voice."

540
00:26:55,111 --> 00:26:58,148
"Over" became Blake's seventh
consecutive number one,

541
00:26:58,148 --> 00:27:01,148
and his 12th number one hit to date.

542
00:27:01,985 --> 00:27:03,990
After a while, focusing on "The Voice,"

543
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:07,068
and his married life, Blake
went back into the studio

544
00:27:07,068 --> 00:27:09,246
to record his next studio album,

545
00:27:09,246 --> 00:27:11,880
titled "Based on a True Story."

546
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,242
The album debuted at number
three on the Billboard 200,

547
00:27:15,242 --> 00:27:20,023
and became the ninth
best-selling album of 2013.

548
00:27:20,023 --> 00:27:21,973
Blake didn't take long
for follow up the success

549
00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:25,176
of this album and went
straight back into the studio

550
00:27:25,176 --> 00:27:27,007
to release his ninth studio album,

551
00:27:27,007 --> 00:27:30,349
titled "Bringing Back The Sunshine."

552
00:27:30,349 --> 00:27:33,037
The lead single, "Neon Light," was upbeat,

553
00:27:33,037 --> 00:27:35,431
displaying Blake's stage
presence and production value

554
00:27:35,431 --> 00:27:38,243
that he now had during his live shows.

the end of the tunnel ♪

556

(low guitar music)

561
00:28:13,522 --> 00:28:17,477
In 2005, a year after
his third studio album,

562
00:28:17,477 --> 00:28:20,739
Blake Shelton's love life hit the news.

563
00:28:20,739 --> 00:28:23,007
Blake and his first wife, Kaynette Gern,

564
00:28:23,007 --> 00:28:27,674
were getting divorced after
a three-year marriage.

565
00:28:27,674 --> 00:28:31,443
Not long after the divorce
was finalized in 2006,

566
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:34,695
Blake started dating the
up-and-coming country superstar,

567
00:28:34,695 --> 00:28:39,028
Miranda Lambert.
(slow guitar music)

568
00:28:41,031 --> 00:28:43,106
Their relationship
quickly hit the headlines,

569
00:28:43,106 --> 00:28:46,805
and they became a popular
country music couple.

570
00:28:46,805 --> 00:28:50,725
On May ninth, 2010 after
dating for four years,

571
00:28:50,725 --> 00:28:52,375
Blake proposed after seeking

572
00:28:52,375 --> 00:28:55,871
and receiving her father's blessing.

573
00:28:55,871 --> 00:28:58,966
The pair were married on May 14th, 2011

574
00:28:58,966 --> 00:29:00,717
at the Don Strange Ranch ranch

575
00:29:00,717 --> 00:29:03,760
in the bride's home state of Texas.

576
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,522
After the wedding, Blake took a break

577
00:29:05,522 --> 00:29:06,845
from his work commitments

578
00:29:06,845 --> 00:29:10,507
to spend the rest of the
month with his new bride.

579
00:29:10,507 --> 00:29:12,963
While Miranda Lambert and
Blake Shelton made their home

580
00:29:12,963 --> 00:29:14,590
in rural Oklahoma,

581
00:29:14,590 --> 00:29:18,629
Blake's work commitments meant
he wasn't at home very much.

582
00:29:18,629 --> 00:29:21,419
Not only was he a judge on
the wildly popular show,

583
00:29:21,419 --> 00:29:23,546
"The Voice," but he also went on tour

584
00:29:23,546 --> 00:29:25,539
promoting his own music.

585
00:29:25,539 --> 00:29:28,785
Miranda also had obligations
as a successful musician

586
00:29:28,785 --> 00:29:30,669
in her own right.

587
00:29:30,669 --> 00:29:32,827
However, the couple insisted in interviews

588
00:29:32,827 --> 00:29:36,515
that they always made time for each other.

589
00:29:36,515 --> 00:29:38,651
However, cracks began to show

590
00:29:38,651 --> 00:29:41,651
when Miranda reportedly
felt abandoned by Blake

591
00:29:41,651 --> 00:29:43,821
having fixed commitments in Los Angeles,

592
00:29:43,821 --> 00:29:45,768
filming for "The Voice,"

593
00:29:45,768 --> 00:29:48,336
the pressures of fame and
distance took a real toll

594
00:29:48,336 --> 00:29:49,836
on their marriage.

595
00:29:50,744 --> 00:29:53,101
By the time 2015 rolled around,

596
00:29:53,101 --> 00:29:55,298
Miranda Lambert and
Blake Shelton's marriage

597
00:29:55,298 --> 00:29:57,272
was on its last legs.

598
00:29:57,272 --> 00:29:58,469
By the middle of the year,

599
00:29:58,469 --> 00:30:00,448
they were officially on the rocks,

600
00:30:00,448 --> 00:30:03,400
and Blake proceeded to
file divorce papers,

601
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,491
(slow somber music)

602
00:30:05,491 --> 00:30:07,947
Blake and Miranda's
split came as a surprise

603
00:30:07,947 --> 00:30:09,317
to most in country music.

604
00:30:09,317 --> 00:30:11,722
The two seemed to be an
incredibly stable relationship.

605
00:30:11,722 --> 00:30:14,018
They seemed to always have
a ton of fun together.

606
00:30:14,018 --> 00:30:15,626
You always saw them up on stage,

607
00:30:15,626 --> 00:30:18,138
either collaborating
or thanking one another

608
00:30:18,138 --> 00:30:19,988
for being their support system.

609
00:30:19,988 --> 00:30:22,780
So it really came as a bit of a surprise.

610
00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:24,602
There had been rumors in the past

611
00:30:24,602 --> 00:30:27,113
that the two might have
had some infidelities,

612
00:30:27,113 --> 00:30:29,600
but they always seem to work through it.

613
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,183
When the two split,

614
00:30:31,183 --> 00:30:32,799
it seemed to be a very tough time

615
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:35,152
for Shelton and for Lambert.

616
00:30:35,152 --> 00:30:38,229
(slow somber music)

617
00:30:38,229 --> 00:30:40,121
[Narrator] "We were real
people with real lives

618
00:30:40,121 --> 00:30:42,313
with real families,
friends and colleagues."

619
00:30:42,313 --> 00:30:45,371
The couple said in a
statement obtained by E News.

620
00:30:45,371 --> 00:30:48,306
"Therefore we kindly asked
for privacy and compassion

621
00:30:48,306 --> 00:30:51,473
concerning this very personal matter."

622
00:30:53,207 --> 00:30:56,228
However that didn't mean
there wasn't any acrimony

623
00:30:56,228 --> 00:30:58,849
as they both accused
the other of infidelity,

624
00:30:58,849 --> 00:31:02,229
although nothing was remotely proved.

625
00:31:02,229 --> 00:31:04,249
When Blake Shelton was
going through his divorce

626
00:31:04,249 --> 00:31:08,332
from Miranda Lambert, he
was utterly heartbroken.

627
00:31:09,556 --> 00:31:11,716
He found a friend in Gwen Stefani,

628
00:31:11,716 --> 00:31:15,143
who was also going through her
own highly publicized divorce

629
00:31:15,143 --> 00:31:19,628
from husband, Gavin Rossdale,
after several years.

630
00:31:19,628 --> 00:31:22,844
Gwen Stefani met Gavin
Rossdale, lead singer of Bush,

631
00:31:22,844 --> 00:31:26,436
backstage in 1995 when No
Doubt performed a concert

632
00:31:26,436 --> 00:31:31,052
for a radio station while
Bush were the main headliners,

633
00:31:31,052 --> 00:31:34,065
they married on September 14th, 2002

634
00:31:34,065 --> 00:31:37,204
with a wedding in St. Paul's, London.

635
00:31:37,204 --> 00:31:41,370
A second wedding was held in
Los Angeles two weeks later,

636
00:31:41,370 --> 00:31:43,583
the pair went on to have
three children together,

637
00:31:43,583 --> 00:31:46,097
and enjoyed over 10 years of married life

638
00:31:46,097 --> 00:31:50,066
before things took a turn for the worst.

639
00:31:50,066 --> 00:31:53,066
(slow somber music)

640
00:31:54,068 --> 00:31:55,820
in August, 2015,

641
00:31:55,820 --> 00:31:58,736
Gwen Stefani filed for
divorce from her husband,

642
00:31:58,736 --> 00:31:59,903
Gavin Rossdale

643
00:32:02,639 --> 00:32:05,012
Gwen has described the
breakdown of her marriage

644
00:32:05,012 --> 00:32:06,351
as eight months of hell

645
00:32:06,351 --> 00:32:09,452
as Gavin Rossdale was unfaithful to her.

646
00:32:09,452 --> 00:32:12,191
(slow somber music)

647
00:32:12,191 --> 00:32:14,743
She tortured herself trying
to figure out the secret

648
00:32:14,743 --> 00:32:16,030
he was keeping from her,

649
00:32:16,030 --> 00:32:19,447
an affair happening in their family home.

650
00:32:23,146 --> 00:32:25,223
Known as one of the most glamorous couples

651
00:32:25,223 --> 00:32:27,344
in the music industry, fans of the pair

652
00:32:27,344 --> 00:32:29,870
thought that they were
going to last forever,

653
00:32:29,870 --> 00:32:33,497
appearing so in love
in their younger years,

654
00:32:33,497 --> 00:32:36,497
(slow somber music)

655
00:32:37,545 --> 00:32:40,142
Yeah, sometimes, but
you know it's working out,

656
00:32:40,142 --> 00:32:41,528
it's working out good.

657
00:32:41,528 --> 00:32:43,800
[Interviewer] And so she'll
just be watching tonight, or?

658
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,069
She's here, she's
inside, she'll be watching.

659
00:32:48,069 --> 00:32:50,470
I don't have, there's
no tricks, but you know,

660
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:53,366
we, our love is alive, what can I say?

661
00:32:53,366 --> 00:32:55,516
It just happens, it just happens.

662
00:32:55,516 --> 00:32:58,108
(slow somber music)

663
00:32:58,108 --> 00:32:59,316
[Interviewer] Is it
nice having your wife,

664
00:32:59,316 --> 00:33:00,854
who broke out in music,

665
00:33:00,854 --> 00:33:02,604
and now you're breaking
into the film business,

666
00:33:02,604 --> 00:33:04,273
the two of you doing it together?

667
00:33:04,273 --> 00:33:06,559
Yeah, absolutely, you know
it's good to have her here

668
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,441
for support, we try and be here
for each other when we can,

669
00:33:09,441 --> 00:33:11,352
and sometimes, it's
difficult with schedules,

670
00:33:11,352 --> 00:33:15,546
and all that stuff, and so
we'll set our dates together

671
00:33:15,546 --> 00:33:18,919
as we should.
(slow somber music)

672
00:33:18,919 --> 00:33:20,441
[Narrator] However, just over a year

673
00:33:20,441 --> 00:33:22,952
after the birth of their third child,

674
00:33:22,952 --> 00:33:25,702
the marriage began to fall apart.

675
00:33:29,098 --> 00:33:31,268
They released a joint
statement, which read,

676
00:33:31,268 --> 00:33:33,856
"While the two of us have
come to the mutual decision

677
00:33:33,856 --> 00:33:36,341
that we will no longer
be partners in marriage.

678
00:33:36,341 --> 00:33:38,161
We've remained partners in parenthood,

679
00:33:38,161 --> 00:33:40,878
and are committed to jointly
raising our three sons

680
00:33:40,878 --> 00:33:43,795
in a happy and healthy environment.

681
00:33:44,917 --> 00:33:46,979
It was later revealed that Gavin Rossdale

682
00:33:46,979 --> 00:33:48,719
had been accused of having an affair

683
00:33:48,719 --> 00:33:51,200
with their nanny, Mindy Mann.

684
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,657
(slow somber music)

685
00:33:54,657 --> 00:33:56,897
US Weekly reported that
the affair had gone on

686
00:33:56,897 --> 00:33:59,679
for three years and
claimed Gwen had found out

687
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:02,517
about the relationship
after discovering texts

688
00:34:02,517 --> 00:34:06,267
between the pair and
images of them together.

689
00:34:07,397 --> 00:34:10,319
Reportedly, Gavin Rossdale
initially dismissed the texts

690
00:34:10,319 --> 00:34:13,951
as just flirtation, but
then confessed to the affair

691
00:34:13,951 --> 00:34:17,868
several months later,
leading to their divorce.

692
00:34:21,058 --> 00:34:24,259
Gwen Stefani remained hurt
for a long time afterwards,

693
00:34:24,259 --> 00:34:28,695
even admitting that she has
the date, February ninth, 2015,

694
00:34:28,695 --> 00:34:31,591
ingrained in her mind as the
date she first discovered

695
00:34:31,591 --> 00:34:33,924
her world was falling apart.

696
00:34:36,301 --> 00:34:37,998
Despite finding it hard at first,

697
00:34:37,998 --> 00:34:40,317
the former couple now shared joint custody

698
00:34:40,317 --> 00:34:44,188
of their three sons,
Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.

699
00:34:44,188 --> 00:34:47,868
(slow somber music)

700
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:50,388
Gavin Rossdale has gone
on to say in recent years

701
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:52,796
that he is embarrassed by
how their marriage ended,

702
00:34:52,796 --> 00:34:55,805
and never wanted it to end in divorce.

703
00:34:55,805 --> 00:34:58,805
(slow somber music)

704
00:35:04,190 --> 00:35:07,440
(uptempo cheery music)

705
00:35:15,208 --> 00:35:17,571
On April 29th, 2014,

706
00:35:17,571 --> 00:35:20,389
Gwen Stefani announced she
would be joining "The Voice"

707
00:35:20,389 --> 00:35:23,438
as a judge alongside Blake
Shelton, Adam Levine,

708
00:35:23,438 --> 00:35:25,240
and Pharrell Williams.

709
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,643
This would be where Gwen
and Blake would meet,

710
00:35:27,643 --> 00:35:29,354
and form a great friendship,

711
00:35:29,354 --> 00:35:32,598
understanding the struggles
one another were going through.

712
00:35:32,598 --> 00:35:35,304
An image was shared for the
first public live taping

713
00:35:35,304 --> 00:35:36,335
of the series.

00:35:36,335 --> 00:35:41,122

to promote the new season of "The Voice."

The pair also sang a
duet of "Endless Love,"

719
00:35:52,008 --> 00:35:53,960
and their chemistry became very apparent

720
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,856
through the performance.

the video was released the same day.

earning Gwen her first number

771
00:38:29,762 --> 00:38:31,179
as a solo artist.

772
00:38:32,583 --> 00:38:34,309
To further promote the album,

773
00:38:34,309 --> 00:38:37,513
Gwen embarked on her This Is
What The Truth Feels Like Tour

774
00:38:37,513 --> 00:38:40,596
with rapper Eve in the United States.

775

(slow guitar music)

776
00:38:44,783 --> 00:38:47,940

00:38:47,940 --> 00:38:50,180
alongside his commitments on "The Voice,"

00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:52,524
and released his 10th studio album,

00:38:52,524 --> 00:38:54,525
titled "If I'm Honest."

780
00:38:54,525 --> 00:38:56,351
The album once again reached the top

of the Country Billboard charts,

782
00:38:57,987 --> 00:39:02,215
and reached third on the US Billboard 200.

"Every Time I Hear That
Song" was the lead single

784
00:39:04,695 --> 00:39:06,874
with its fresh pop sound.

785
00:39:06,874 --> 00:39:09,114
The video also felt very similar in style

786
00:39:09,114 --> 00:39:12,171
to his first single, "Austin."

"If I'm Honest" was a hit,

796
00:39:41,872 --> 00:39:45,403
and at the CBS People's
Choice Awards won two awards,

797
00:39:45,403 --> 00:39:47,205
one for Favorite Country Album,

798
00:39:47,205 --> 00:39:50,205
and one for Favorite Country Singer.

799
00:39:51,130 --> 00:39:52,381
I love it, I love it.

800
00:39:52,381 --> 00:39:56,442
I do not take this for
granted at all, you know?

801
00:39:56,442 --> 00:39:57,970
Anytime the fans are the ones

802
00:39:57,970 --> 00:39:59,682
that are making the decision out there,

803
00:39:59,682 --> 00:40:03,485
that's really where at the end of the day

804
00:40:03,485 --> 00:40:04,736
where the rubber meets the road,

805
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:08,642
because we can have, you know,
all the industry inside of,

806
00:40:08,642 --> 00:40:11,905
you know, awards, and
committees, and things like that,

807
00:40:11,905 --> 00:40:14,320
but when people that are
actually buying the albums

808
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,956
and the tickets, you know,

809
00:40:15,956 --> 00:40:17,805
take time out of their day
to pick up their phone,

810
00:40:17,805 --> 00:40:20,248
or their laptop, whatever
they use to vote on,

811
00:40:20,248 --> 00:40:21,954
and they do that for you, it means a lot,

812
00:40:21,954 --> 00:40:24,402
because I know that's, I mean,
it's a pain in the ass too

813
00:40:24,402 --> 00:40:27,213
to do that, you know, and they did it,

814
00:40:27,213 --> 00:40:30,586
and I can't believe it, and
I couldn't be more thankful

815
00:40:30,586 --> 00:40:31,672
that they did that.

816
00:40:31,672 --> 00:40:33,791
[Interviewer] And where are
you keeping these bad boys?

817
00:40:33,791 --> 00:40:35,868
I got to get to, I was
telling someone earlier,

818
00:40:35,868 --> 00:40:38,274
I got a little home
interior shelf, I think,

819
00:40:38,274 --> 00:40:41,033
that my mother passed down
to me from a garage sale,

820
00:40:41,033 --> 00:40:42,321
she must've got it from somewhere,

821
00:40:42,321 --> 00:40:45,058
but I don't think it'll
hold, these things are heavy,

822
00:40:45,058 --> 00:40:47,388
like this is like, you
could burn a bug with these

823
00:40:47,388 --> 00:40:49,578
if you had the sunlight just right.

824
00:40:49,578 --> 00:40:51,498
So I don't know, I'd have to,
I'm gonna have to build on,

825
00:40:51,498 --> 00:40:55,135
I guess, from my People's Choice Awards.

826
00:40:55,135 --> 00:40:59,165
[Narrator] By 2017, Blake
had released 10 studio albums,

827
00:40:59,165 --> 00:41:01,553
and had been on "The Voice"
for six years straight,

828
00:41:01,553 --> 00:41:04,865
not only developing a close
relationship with Gwen Stefani,

829
00:41:04,865 --> 00:41:08,029
but also a good friendship
with his other costar,

830
00:41:08,029 --> 00:41:09,202
Adam Levine.

831
00:41:09,202 --> 00:41:10,908
If you would've told me then

832
00:41:10,908 --> 00:41:15,908
that this guy was gonna end up
being one of my best friends,

833
00:41:16,058 --> 00:41:20,572
I would have called you crazy,
but that's, what is this?

834
00:41:20,572 --> 00:41:23,943
Seven years later, six years
later, or whatever it is,

835
00:41:23,943 --> 00:41:28,943
Adam and I have been on an
incredible journey together,

836
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:32,647
and we have both seen some ups and downs,

837
00:41:32,647 --> 00:41:35,835
and obviously I've seen, you know,

838
00:41:35,835 --> 00:41:36,975
a lot of ups and downs,

839
00:41:36,975 --> 00:41:41,058
and I've never had a more
honest and loyal friend

840
00:41:43,098 --> 00:41:47,228
than Adam Levine through my
personal journey knowing him,

841
00:41:47,228 --> 00:41:50,813
and so, you know, I
know this getting a star

842
00:41:50,813 --> 00:41:52,668
on the Walk of Fame is a big deal,

843
00:41:52,668 --> 00:41:55,701
and we all know he's a
huge star with music,

844
00:41:55,701 --> 00:41:57,135
and movies, and television,

845
00:41:57,135 --> 00:42:00,362
but I'm happy to see him get
this because he's my friend,

846
00:42:00,362 --> 00:42:01,862
and nobody is more

847
00:42:03,712 --> 00:42:07,295
shocked, I mean, proud
(crowd laughing)

848
00:42:07,295 --> 00:42:10,311
than I am that he's gonna have a star

849
00:42:10,311 --> 00:42:12,679
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame forever.

850
00:42:12,679 --> 00:42:14,438
Congratulations, brother, I love you

851
00:42:14,438 --> 00:42:17,658

(crowd applauding)

852
00:42:17,658 --> 00:42:20,241
Thank you, brother, I love you.

853
00:42:21,909 --> 00:42:24,098
(slow guitar music)

854
00:42:24,098 --> 00:42:26,027
[Narrator] Later that
year, Blake, once again,

855
00:42:26,027 --> 00:42:29,066
went back into the studio
to work on his next album,

856
00:42:29,066 --> 00:42:30,899
titled "Texoma Shore."

857
00:42:32,176 --> 00:42:34,354
The album was another commercial success,

858
00:42:34,354 --> 00:42:37,295
reaching number one on the
Top Country Albums chart,

859
00:42:37,295 --> 00:42:40,628
and number four on the US Billboard 200.

860
00:42:42,054 --> 00:42:44,589
The lead single, titled
"I'll Name The Dogs,"

861
00:42:44,589 --> 00:42:46,450
was a much more country sounding song

862
00:42:46,450 --> 00:42:48,345
compared to previous singles,

863
00:42:48,345 --> 00:42:50,626
with the video showing Blake playing live

864
00:42:50,626 --> 00:42:52,495
at a traditional country wedding

865
00:42:52,495 --> 00:42:55,111
while people dance to his music.

866
00:42:55,111 --> 00:42:57,602
Blake Shelton also owns a
franchise of restaurants,

867
00:42:57,602 --> 00:43:01,162
and entertainment
complexes called Ole Red.

868
00:43:01,162 --> 00:43:03,154
The first Ole Red opened in his hometown

869
00:43:03,154 --> 00:43:06,737
of Tishomingo, Oklahoma
in September, 2017.

870
00:43:07,749 --> 00:43:11,263
A Nashville location opened in May, 2018.

871
00:43:11,263 --> 00:43:15,821
A third location in Gatlinburg
opened in March, 2019.

872
00:43:15,821 --> 00:43:20,162
A fourth location in Orlando,
Florida opened in May, 2020.

873
00:43:20,162 --> 00:43:22,095
That's my dream, that's my vision

874
00:43:22,095 --> 00:43:24,906
of somebody coming in here one day from,

875
00:43:24,906 --> 00:43:27,893
you know, wherever and
stopping in, and get a drink,

876
00:43:27,893 --> 00:43:30,023
and I happen to be sitting here,

877
00:43:30,023 --> 00:43:32,602
you know, playing my
guitar, singing some music.

878
00:43:32,602 --> 00:43:35,307
For me, it's as simple as
this is my home, you know,

879
00:43:35,307 --> 00:43:37,589
to come here and have a good time,

880
00:43:37,589 --> 00:43:41,079
maybe hear some music, and, you know,

881
00:43:41,079 --> 00:43:44,412
have a burger, and a drink or something.

882
00:43:45,412 --> 00:43:47,618
(uptempo cheery music)

883
00:43:47,618 --> 00:43:49,851
[Narrator] In November, 2015,

884
00:43:49,851 --> 00:43:51,409
representatives for Blake Shelton

885
00:43:51,409 --> 00:43:55,314
confirm the romance between
himself and Gwen Stefani,

886
00:43:55,314 --> 00:43:58,154
And they eventually both
spoke about their relationship

887
00:43:58,154 --> 00:44:00,704
saying they grew closer
after supporting each other

888
00:44:00,704 --> 00:44:02,621
through their divorces.

889
00:44:04,687 --> 00:44:06,701
It seems like the two found each other

890
00:44:06,701 --> 00:44:09,086
in the perfect time, began
to lean on each other,

891
00:44:09,086 --> 00:44:10,666
and become closer friends.

892
00:44:10,666 --> 00:44:14,133
From there, it turned into
a blossoming relationship.

893
00:44:14,133 --> 00:44:15,858
The two seem very serious,

894
00:44:15,858 --> 00:44:17,971
they spend a lot of time
together on Blake's farm,

895
00:44:17,971 --> 00:44:21,226
Blake has spent a lot of
time with Gwen's children,

896
00:44:21,226 --> 00:44:23,829
and it seems like they are
working towards building a family

897
00:44:23,829 --> 00:44:25,261
of their own.

898
00:44:25,261 --> 00:44:27,247
There's a lot of love between them,

899
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:30,255
and I think a lot of people
like to see them together

900
00:44:30,255 --> 00:44:33,026
because obviously they
associate, you know,

901
00:44:33,026 --> 00:44:35,634
Blake has a very good boy
image for the most part,

902
00:44:35,634 --> 00:44:39,893
and I think that the audience
can really see how happy

903
00:44:39,893 --> 00:44:42,197
Gwen is next to him.

904
00:44:42,197 --> 00:44:43,855
So maybe deep down inside of the audience,

905
00:44:43,855 --> 00:44:48,555
you know, wants to believe
that this is the one for Gwen,

906
00:44:48,555 --> 00:44:51,487
and you know, she's
really not one to be known

907
00:44:51,487 --> 00:44:54,026
for being in many relationships.

908
00:44:54,026 --> 00:44:57,482
She was in a relationship with
Gavin Rossdale for 13 years,

909
00:44:57,482 --> 00:44:59,210
that's a very long relationship,

910
00:44:59,210 --> 00:45:01,787
at least in terms of
Hollywood standards, you know?

911
00:45:01,787 --> 00:45:04,882
A lot of these are
celebrity couples, you know,

912
00:45:04,882 --> 00:45:07,205
are dating one day and then
the next day they're, you know,

913
00:45:07,205 --> 00:45:09,463
dating someone else, and she
also has children, you know?

914
00:45:09,463 --> 00:45:13,880
So I think she is looking
for someone to settle with.

915
00:45:14,927 --> 00:45:19,844
There have been reports that
Gwen's kids really like Blake,

916
00:45:21,154 --> 00:45:22,891
so I think it's a good thing,

917
00:45:22,891 --> 00:45:25,068
and fingers crossed it'll be something

918
00:45:25,068 --> 00:45:27,741
that'll last a long time.

919
00:45:27,741 --> 00:45:30,222
[Narrator] In February, 2016,

920
00:45:30,222 --> 00:45:33,563
the pair made their first
public debut on the red carpet

921
00:45:33,563 --> 00:45:37,053
at the Vanity Fair 2016
Oscars After Party.

922
00:45:37,053 --> 00:45:41,002
(uptempo cheery music)

923
00:45:41,002 --> 00:45:44,749
Shortly after this in May Gwen
and Blake performed a duet,

924
00:45:44,749 --> 00:45:48,917
"Go Ahead and Break My Heart"
at the Billboard Awards.

925
00:45:48,917 --> 00:45:53,917
The song was recorded for
Blake's album, "If I'm Honest."

926
00:45:54,093 --> 00:45:56,693
Their costar and close
friend, Adam Levine,

927
00:45:56,693 --> 00:45:58,778
opened up about their relationship,

928
00:45:58,778 --> 00:46:02,375
and claimed the couple were so in love.

929
00:46:02,375 --> 00:46:06,698
In June, 2018, Gwen began
her Las Vegas residency,

930
00:46:06,698 --> 00:46:09,506
titled "Just a Girl Las Vegas,"

931
00:46:09,506 --> 00:46:12,594
and Blake was by her side to support her.

932
00:46:12,594 --> 00:46:14,571
The show was named after a No Doubt song,

933
00:46:14,571 --> 00:46:17,303
"Just a Girl" and proceeds
from the show were donated

934
00:46:17,303 --> 00:46:19,886
to the organization, Cure4Kids.

935
00:46:21,929 --> 00:46:24,387
On December 13th, 2019,

936
00:46:24,387 --> 00:46:27,611
Gwen featured on Blake's
single, "Nobody But You,"

937
00:46:27,611 --> 00:46:29,139
from his compilation album,

938
00:46:29,139 --> 00:46:32,213

948
00:46:57,129 --> 00:47:00,101
and 49 on the Canadian Hot 100.

(slow relaxing music)

950
00:47:01,984 --> 00:47:04,107
On July 24th, 2020,

951
00:47:04,107 --> 00:47:06,440
Gwen and Blake released another single,

952
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,349
titled "Happy Anywhere,"

953
00:47:08,349 --> 00:47:11,182
inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic.

954
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,173
In the following years,

955
00:47:13,173 --> 00:47:16,244
the pair gushed over each
other publicly in interviews

956
00:47:16,244 --> 00:47:17,843
and performances.

957
00:47:17,843 --> 00:47:20,456
When finally after five years together,

958
00:47:20,456 --> 00:47:23,908
Blake Shelton proposed in October, 2020.

959
00:47:23,908 --> 00:47:27,075
(slow relaxing music)

960
00:47:30,856 --> 00:47:32,594
There have been constant
debates in the media

961
00:47:32,594 --> 00:47:34,856
about who will perform at their wedding,

962
00:47:34,856 --> 00:47:37,421
with stars, such as Miley
Cyrus and Adam Levine

963
00:47:37,421 --> 00:47:40,155
throwing their names into the mix.

964
00:47:40,155 --> 00:47:43,322
(slow relaxing music)

965
00:47:46,416 --> 00:47:48,248
On December fourth, 2020,

966
00:47:48,248 --> 00:47:51,906
Gwen Stefani revealed she had
plans to release a new single

967
00:47:51,906 --> 00:47:54,823
called "Let Me Reintroduce Myself"

968
00:47:54,823 --> 00:47:56,697
after a series of cryptic posts

969
00:47:56,697 --> 00:47:59,114
on her social media accounts.

970
00:48:00,414 --> 00:48:03,619
This song was released on
December seventh, 2020,

971
00:48:03,619 --> 00:48:06,786

The song's music video premiered
on January first, 2021.

982
00:48:46,453 --> 00:48:48,733
She also teased a new
song called "Slow Clap"

983
00:48:48,733 --> 00:48:52,885
through her Instagram, which
was released March 11th, 2021,

984
00:48:52,885 --> 00:48:54,969
alongside a remix of the song

985
00:48:54,969 --> 00:48:57,969
featuring upcoming rapper, Saweetie.

986
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,459
On March 30th, 2021,

987
00:49:01,459 --> 00:49:04,645
it was announced that Gwen's
upcoming fifth studio album

988
00:49:04,645 --> 00:49:08,405
will be called "Let Me
Reintroduce Myself."

989
00:49:08,405 --> 00:49:11,719
Also in March, 2021, Blake
announced "Body Language,"

990
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,325
his first brand new
full length studio album

991
00:49:14,325 --> 00:49:15,908
in over four years.

992
00:49:18,659 --> 00:49:21,557
The album will include the
singles, "Happy Anywhere,"

993
00:49:21,557 --> 00:49:23,140
and "Minimum Wage."

994
00:49:23,974 --> 00:49:25,160
(slow relaxing music)

995
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,733
Gwen Stefani and Blake
Shelton tied the knot at last,

996
00:49:28,733 --> 00:49:31,077
after five years of being engaged,

997
00:49:31,077 --> 00:49:33,244
it happened in July, 2021.

998
00:49:34,314 --> 00:49:38,231
It was a surprise, pretty
much secret nuptials.

999
00:49:39,238 --> 00:49:40,507
The people only found out about it,

1000
00:49:40,507 --> 00:49:42,350
'cause they filed for
the marriage certificate

1001
00:49:42,350 --> 00:49:44,827
48 hours, by law, you have to do that,

1002
00:49:44,827 --> 00:49:47,521
before the actual ceremony took place

1003
00:49:47,521 --> 00:49:51,163
and it happened on
Shelton's ranch in Oklahoma.

1004
00:49:51,163 --> 00:49:53,746
He had a church basically built

1005
00:49:54,884 --> 00:49:57,295
as the venue specifically for it.

1006
00:49:57,295 --> 00:50:01,167
It was a very, very intimate
ceremony, just their family.

1007
00:50:01,167 --> 00:50:04,271
One of Gwen's three boys
read from the Bible.

1008
00:50:04,271 --> 00:50:07,496
Carson Daly was the officiator
of the whole ceremony,

1009
00:50:07,496 --> 00:50:10,104
he read the vows and actually was the one

1010
00:50:10,104 --> 00:50:12,309
that said you are husband and wife,

1011
00:50:12,309 --> 00:50:16,400
which is really cute since
he's the host of "The Voice."

1012
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,285
Gwen had already had a six
to nine carat solitaire ring

1013
00:50:19,285 --> 00:50:21,643
that she'd been rocking
for the last couple years

1014
00:50:21,643 --> 00:50:23,070
that Blake had given her.

1015
00:50:23,070 --> 00:50:25,081
Now, she's gonna have a
band to go along with it,

1016
00:50:25,081 --> 00:50:29,126
and be Mrs. Shelton, so
that'll be fabulous to see.

1017
00:50:29,126 --> 00:50:33,014
(slow relaxing music)

1018
00:50:33,014 --> 00:50:36,181
(slow relaxing music)

1019
00:50:37,488 --> 00:50:39,150
[Narrator] Gwen
Stefani and Blake Shelton

1020
00:50:39,150 --> 00:50:41,344
have taken the media by storm

1021
00:50:41,344 --> 00:50:44,806
with fans gushing over their love story.

1022
00:50:44,806 --> 00:50:46,585
While their romance initially seems

1023
00:50:46,585 --> 00:50:48,758
to have taken everyone by surprise,

1024
00:50:48,758 --> 00:50:52,675
the duo took a chance on
love, and it paid off.

1025
00:50:53,795 --> 00:50:56,573
The world can not wait to watch
them build a life together

1026
