Adam Levine returned to ‘The Voice’ for this next season, the TV show Blake Shelton was a part for several years, and the two of them were famous for their frenemies relationship during the show. And, recently, Adam revealed to People Magazine the text messages exchange between him and Blake. Check it out below:
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have a brotherly friendship.
During a break from blind auditions on the Monday, Feb. 10 episode of The Voice, the Maroon 5 frontman sent the country star a witty text message in hopes of an answer. When he didn’t receive one, he sent him multiple follow-ups — and Shelton had a hilarious response.
“Hey I’m in your old stupid chair now… stupid,” Levine, 45, texted Shelton, 48.
“God I hate you,” he wrote in his second message.
After pausing for a moment, Levine sent two back-to-back texts that each read “Haha.”
“Miss you… just kidding I can’t stand you,” he wrote in another text, before asking, “Are you getting these?”
He then threw his hands up in annoyance and rolled his eyes as he waited for Shelton to text back.
The “She Will Be Loved” singer gave it one final try: “Fine whatever. You suck eggs.”
Around 10 minutes later, Shelton finally wrote back. His one-word response simply read “unsubscribe.”
This season marks Levine’s return to the singing competition show after his exit in May 2019. Levine was a coach on the show’s premiere and stayed on for 16 seasons — alongside Shelton. Now, following the “Sangria” singer’s exit in May 2023, Levine is sitting in his chair.
Speaking with PEOPLE ahead of his grand return, Levine joked that he’s happy his buddy isn’t around anymore.
“The best part about being back with The Voice family is that I don’t have to deal with Blake Shelton,” Levine quipped. “I just don’t like him. So, it’s been great not having to be around him. He’s a bad friend…”
“I’m just kidding,” he clarified. “Of course, I love Blake. And I had to open with a Blake joke because he’s not on the show anymore, yet they still continue.”
Now, Levine is coaching alongside Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé and John Legend — but none of them could replace his friend.
“No. No, no, definitely not. There’s no replacing [Shelton],” the Hands All Over singer said. “The thing that happened with Blake and I, it was so organic, and it was based on our friendship.”
“Because nobody really realizes that we were thrown into this thing that wasn’t a thing yet. Our friendship was based on this not knowing what the hell was happening, and being silly, and stupid with each other,” he said.
“And that became something that people love to watch. It was very organic, and very unplanned and spontaneous. And all of a sudden we realized people loved watching us talk s— to each other. So, we thought to ourselves, ‘Let’s just do it. And hey, is there such thing as too far?’ And he’s like, ‘No.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, probably not. Let’s just go at it.’ And we just had fun with it.”
Season 27 of The Voice airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
Yesterday, February 5, Blake Shelton opened his Las Vegas residency with a sold-out concert at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and he performed 20+ songs during 90 minutes. Blake said that the residency is a big deal for him. Check out an article from People Magazine below:
Blake Shelton is finding a home in the neon light of Las Vegas.
On Feb. 5, the country superstar kicked off his Las Vegas residency show at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum, and he wasted no time, coming on stage to “Pour Me a Drink,” his song with Post Malone.
“This is a big deal for me. This is the first night of my very first residency anywhere. It just happens to be at Caesars. That’s pretty cool,” he told the crowd of 4,300.
“I’ve been coming to Las Vegas for a long, long time, so I know what my job is here tonight. I know what we’re all doing here,” added Shelton. “We’re here to make memories that we’re going to pretend like we don’t remember, and my job tonight is to provide a soundtrack for your trip to Las Vegas.”
The 90-minute show was classic Shelton, as he rattled off hit after hit from his deep catalog, sipped booze from a plastic black cup on stage and often bantered with the crowd. During one moment, he noticed a fan’s custom-made t-shirt that said: “Still not a Swiftie. I’m a Sheltie.”
“That’s gonna be a YouTube moment. That’s gonna be on social media,” he said after reading the shirt’s message out loud. “Taylor Swift’s gonna have me killed.”
Still, Shelton brought the crowd alive while energetically playing newer songs, such as “Texas,” but he also thrilled the crowd with classics, such as “Austin,” “Some Beach” and “Home.” He also delved into several duets with his wife, Gwen Stefani, who harmonized with her husband in a prerecorded video on an oversized screen behind him.
“This is too much fun to be work,” he said later in the show. “There’s some kind of added pressure when you do Las Vegas, like everybody is waiting for the trapeze people or some dancers to come down.”
By the end of the evening, Shelton was flying high from his no-frills, all-substance concert, telling the crowd it was a night he’ll “never forget.”
While the six-show run is a long time coming, Shelton recently joked that he has to use the word “residency” delicately around Stefani, who had a three-year residency show in Vegas from 2018 to 2021. In total, she performed her Just a Girl show 57 times.

Adam Levine is returning to ‘The Voice’ for the Season 27 and he spoke about Blake Shelton in a recent interview for People Magazine, where he discussed his relationship with his former co-worker. Check it out below:
Adam Levine is excited to make his grand return to The Voice, but knows it’ll feel a little different without his best buddy, Blake Shelton.
Still, that won’t prevent the Maroon 5 frontman from making some jokes at Shelton’s expense.
“The best part about being back with The Voice Family is that I don’t have to deal with Blake Shelton,” Levine, 45, quips while chatting with PEOPLE in this week’s issue about his return to the NBC hit series. “I just don’t like him. So, it’s been great not having to be around him. He’s a bad friend…”
“I’m just kidding,” he clarifies. “Of course, I love Blake. And I had to open with a Blake joke because he’s not on the show anymore, yet they still continue.”
Levine and Shelton, 48, were among the four original coaches when The Voice premiered in 2011. The Maroon 5 frontman remained on the show until 2019 when he left after 16 seasons, and Shelton followed a few years later in May 2023 after 23 seasons. During their tenure on the show together, the two became close friends while also poking fun at one another with playful insults and jokes.
Today, Blake Shelton announced on his social media (X and Instagram), that he is going to host Grand Ole Opry 100th anniversary special on NBC on March 19th. Check out his publication:
On March 19, NBC will air “Opry 100: A Live Celebration” in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry. Blake Shelton will host the special live from the iconic country music venue.
Along with Shelton, the special will feature performances from Opry members Ashley McBryde, Brad Paisley, Carly Pearce, Carrie Underwood, Clint Black, Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Marty Stuart, Reba McEntire, Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood and Vince Gill, as well as a special appearance from Randy Travis. Opry “fan favorites” including Amy Grant, Eric Church, Jelly Roll and the War and Treaty will also perform, with more Opry members and guests yet to be announced.
The special will be telecast from two locations — the Grand Ole Opry House that has been home to the weekly broadcasts since 1974, and Nashville’s venerable “Mother Church,” the Ryman Auditorium, which hosted the show for decades prior to that and still hosts the Opry for a handful of dates each winter.
Tickets for the Opry House and Ryman performances go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. CT, with presales for Opry subscribers beginning Thursday at 10, both at http://www.opry.com.
Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn will executive produce the special for Silent House Productions, with R.A. Clark and Steve Buchanan also executive producing.
“Becoming a member of the Opry is a highlight of my life and career, and 15 years later I still get that same feeling of reverence and excitement every time I walk out on that stage,” Shelton said. “The Grand Ole Opry has been connecting the country music family for 100 years, and I’m so proud to be part of this historic celebration.”
“We’re pleased to partner with our Grand Ole Opry members to create a truly unforgettable evening as we kick off the Opry’s 100th year,” said Opry Entertainment Group CEO Patrick Moore. “This special night of programming will connect millions of country music fans to the magic of the Opry, and we hope it inspires them to join us in Nashville as we celebrate this milestone all year long.”
“It’s a true privilege to be a part of celebrating 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry, an iconic stage that has welcomed so many legendary artists who’ve shaped the heart of country music,” said Bracco, who serves as Silent House Productions’ president. “We’re humbled and honored to help bring this historic moment to life, paying tribute to the voices and stories that have made the Opry an enduring symbol of musical history.”
