Some people celebrate their birthdays with cake and candles—but for one lucky fan, her 84th came with something even sweeter: a hug from Blake Shelton himself.
At his Greensboro, NC concert on March 1, Blake was mid-show when he spotted a sign in the crowd that read, “May I Hug You For My 84th Birthday?” With a grin and a playful tease, he replied, “How you gonna put that kinda pressure on someone in front of all these d** people?”* The audience roared with laughter.
Without missing a beat, Blake invited her on stage just as he kicked off his 2011 hit “All About Tonight”—the perfect party song for a birthday queen. She danced her way to him, showing off moves that could rival someone half her age. Blake welcomed her with a warm, bear-sized hug (all 6’5″ of him), making it a moment she’ll treasure forever.
The crowd loved every second, and social media lit up with reactions like, “She moves better than most 50-year-olds!” and “Granny really got down with Blake.” Honestly, her dance moves might have stolen the show.
Blake is currently in the middle of his 2025 Friends & Heroes Tour, which kicked off February 27 in Lexington, KY. Alongside Blake, fans can catch performances from country favorites like Craig Morgan, Deana Carter, Trace Adkins, and rising star Emily Ann Roberts. The tour wraps up on March 21 in State College, PA—but for one fan in Greensboro, the night will live in her memory forever.
