LISTEN NOW: Friday Night Takeover with Blake Shelton
Before it all became official, Shelton joined Rob + Holly for the Friday Night Takeover to talk about the song, his new TV show, The Road, and life on the ranch with his wife, Gwen Stefani.
"I think at this point in my career is I celebrate them like I did the first couple in my career," Shelton says of his collection of chart-topping tracks. "This is all I ever wanted, is to have success in Country music, and the fact that here now, 100 years later, I'm still getting some of those moments, it is a big deal."
"It doesn't happen a lot, and I know that," he adds. "I'm just blessed and thankful for it."
Beyond momentous celebrations and filming his new show, The Road, Blake is back at home on the ranch with Gwen, who has put her own spin on the couple's land. "Once she realized, 'wait a minute, we can just take your tractor and like, mess up the dirt.' Like I'm talking in Gwen language here, 'mess up the dirt and then go back and put seeds there. Why can't we do that with flowers?'"
"I'm like, 'well, we can, I guess, it's not necessarily what I want to plant for deer,' but, next thing you know, it's like, I'm talking about we have easily 25, 30 acres of just like these plots where it's like zinnias and, hands and knees down, putting iris bulbs in the ground."
"She puts all this stuff on social media, people see it, it's the two of us doing it," he shares. "We really love doing it. It's fun to do together and we'll play music. We've lately, we've been playing a lot of Ella Langley out there planting the stuff and just really getting into it."
