Blake Shelton made an apperance on ‘Today with Hoda & Jenna’ a few days ago via FaceTime and he said Hoda ran away from him at a party. Check out the article and the video below:

Hoda Kotb’s final week at TODAY is underway, and Blake Shelton called in to bid her farewell.

The “God’s Country” singer surprised Hoda when he joined live on a video call during the Jan. 8 episode of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.

After answering the call, Jenna Bush Hager told Shelton that his appearance is a special one because she said her co-host was “in love” with him for many years, to which Hoda smiled and nodded.

“I adore her,” Shelton said of Hoda. “I’m happy for her, but I can’t believe we’re at this moment where she’s finally stepping out. I hope, Hoda, that you do a whole lot of what I’m doing these days, which is spending a lot more time at home.”

Shelton thanked Hoda for years of showing him love on the show. The two reminisced on his guest co-hosting years ago, with the country singer adding that it was a “huge deal” for him.

However, Shelton didn’t let Jenna’s remarks about Hoda’s love for him go unaddressed. He brought up a time when he ran into her at a party in Nashville and thought it might be their “moment.”

“It’s funny, Jenna, you talking about Hoda saying I was her first love,” he began. “But I did run into her in Nashville one time, off camera, had nothing to do with television or anything. And I thought it was going to be our moment and she completely ran away from me.”

Blake Shelton opens up about going “all out” with Stefani and their family for the upcoming holiday. He talked to People about Thanksgiving and you can check the article below:

There’s no shortage of holiday cheer in the Shelton-Stefani household.

“I’ve already got my turkey bought. I got two turkeys put away in case there’s a shortage for some reason. We can do our whatever weird one we come up with, and then Gwen can make the [traditional recipe],” Blake Shelton — whose latest single “Texas” became the most-added new song on country radio after its release — tells PEOPLE exclusively about celebrating the upcoming holiday with wife Gwen Stefani.

Over the years, the couple have headed to Oklahoma with their extended families for a Thanksgiving extravaganza.

“We go all out for Thanksgiving. We’ve got a huge family, so we feel good about making a bunch of food. Normally, it’s like, ‘Oh damn, we’re already out of stuffing? How can that possibly be?'” says Shelton, 48. “We’re excited about it.”

While gathering loved ones under one roof can be chaotic, the country superstar says they only follow one rule: “Never say no to any kind of food. Whatever you want to try, I’ll try it. Just bring it on.”

And though it’s rare to have any food left at the end of the night, Shelton says he and Stefani get creative when it comes to repurposing their sides.

“I heard a guy on the radio a couple of years ago talk about if you have leftover stuffing, the next morning put it in your waffle iron and make those stuffing waffles,” he says. “Now I do that. Now I make enough that I know there’ll be some leftover.”

Shelton and Stefani have both been busy promoting new music, but the star says he’s looking forward to getting some downtime with loved ones.

“I love the fall. I love watching football. I’m still a huge Arizona Cardinals fan, and that’s my perfect day,” he says. “Last Sunday I told Gwen, ‘I’m having the best day.’ We had family over, cooked a good meal. My team won. It was like, ‘I want to have this day every day for the rest of my life.’ Just laid-back family and watching football.”

Blake Shelton stopped by, today, 25, ‘The Bobby Bones Show’ in Nashville to talk about his relationship with Gwen Stefani, his collab with Post Malone, his new song, ‘Texas’, and more. Check it out:

Blake Shelton stopped by The Bobby Bones Show to talk about his first song release in years as well as share the story behind some possible myths about his life.

It’s been over two years since Shelton released new music. He was doing The Voice for 12 years and 23 seasons, but decided to finally walk away when he needed a break from the “TV machine.” He admitted he needed to do nothing for awhile after quitting, and really didn’t know what he wanted to do anymore. He didn’t record or write anything for several months, then last spring he got a call to do a duet with Post Malone. Shelton was shocked by the call even though they exchanged phone numbers at the Super Bowl one year. Shelton said that in those instances you never expect to hear from someone despite saying they needed to get together, but Malone was different and followed up. Being around Malone, his energy and shooting the video, it was the “kick in the ass” Shelton needed. Adding that very few people get to be recording artists, and he felt like he was wasting time. Now Shelton is on a new record label and is turning a new page in his music career, crediting Malone with firing him back up. Shelton fell in love the first time he heard his new song “Texas,” and he feels it has a connection to him and who he’s been as an artist. The song pushes the envelope musically for him and he likes the nod to George Strait. Noting his favorite Strait song is “Ocean Front Property.”

Amy asked Shelton about some fun facts that Google brought up and hoped he would share the story behind some of the crazier ones.

• Shelton isn’t into bare feet, they freak him out. He admitted this one is true, but it’s not as much about someone’s foot. It all started because there was this trend of country artists who would perform barefoot, like walk out on a festival stage without shoes on. As he got older, this issue evolved further with flip flops. He hates when guys wear flip flops because people who wear flip flops are never going to be the person who will help out in an emergency like someone in a cowboy boot. He doesn’t even own one pair of flip flops for this reason.

• He likes to do workouts on a treadmill. This is true, he does a combination of walking and running sprints.

• Once caught a drunken intruder at a family member’s house. His uncle is special needs and called Shelton to say there is a guy in his house, sitting on the couch saying he lived there. So Shelton went over and the guy answered the door like it was his house. Shelton told him to leave and the guy said “what are you talking about?” So Shelton proceeded to entertain the guy until the cops came. He may have sang the guy a song, but he doesn’t really remember. He just tried to keep everything calm because he thinks the guy was on a bunch of things.

• His mom put him pageants when he was younger. Back in the day, Shelton would sing in the cassette tape microphone, so his mom thought she should enter him into the pageants for the talent show part, but he told her one day he didn’t want to sing anymore if that’s what he had to do to make it happen. Adding that he was 12 or 14 years old before he started singing again in his hometown.

• He has been confused for Joe Nichols. It started that he got confused for Terri Clark one day. During Fan Fair in Nashville, fans were all lined up waiting for artists to leave and he only had one song out at the time. Some of the fans saw him from the back and started yelling “Terri!” He stopped thinking Clark was out there too, but then he realized the fans thought he was Clark. He told Clark about it, and they don’t know which one is more offended. Then later on he got confused for Nichols because they had the same haircut at one point. People would even get mad at him for not playing songs like Brokenheartsville.

• Gwen Stefani says having him in her life is a miracle and meeting him gave her a second chance at life. He said that’s a stretch, but he thinks it’s the sweetest and nicest things she says about him in her interviews. He thinks it’s amazing to get to this end of life being 48-years-old and to have only met his best friend 8 or 9 years ago. Everything she says, he feels the same way. Noting that it took both of them hitting rock bottom before they found each other.

After some much needed time off, Shelton is about to have a busy 2025. He is doing the Friends and Heroes Tour again, which is his favorite way to tour. He started it 5 or 6 years ago, he remembers having a conversation with Trace Adkins about coming on tour with him in a Kenny Chesney/Uncle Kracker fashion because at the time they had “Hillbilly Bone” together. Adkins agreed to it, and from there Shelton has had artists like John Anderson, Bellamy Brothers, Tracy Byrd and Martina McBride out with him. In 2025, Craig Morgan, Trace Adkins, and Deana Carter will be headed out on the road with him.
