On Saturday night (May 9), Gwen Stefani had a milestone moment as she made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry—alongside her partner, Blake Shelton. The two performed their chart-topping duet, “Nobody But You,” live from Ole Red in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
Although the performance wasn’t held at the Opry House in Nashville due to ongoing restrictions, the couple joined the Opry’s 4,923rd consecutive Saturday night show remotely. Trace Adkins and Dustin Lynch performed live from the empty Opry stage in Nashville, while Blake and Gwen tuned in from Oklahoma.
Before the performance, Trace Adkins congratulated Blake, saying, “Big doings this week, that duet you did with Gwen went No. 1!”
Blake lit up with pride, sharing that “Nobody But You” was Gwen’s first-ever country single—and her first No. 1 on the country charts. “She’s on cloud nine,” Blake said. “She couldn’t be more excited. You know how she is—just happy to be part of it all.”
Even though Gwen couldn’t be at the Opry House in person, she still received a few iconic keepsakes to mark the moment: her official Opry parking sign and a signature microphone stand. “She was blown away by the gesture,” Blake said. “I told her it’s an honor for us to have her.”
When it came time for her performance, Blake introduced her with a smile: “Okay everybody, this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. This is Gwen Stefani, everybody!”
Beaming with excitement, Gwen stepped up and said, “Is this really happening? Am I really on the Grand Ole Opry?”
As an Opry member, Blake promised her a proper performance at the Opry House in Nashville someday. Gwen was all in: “This is already insane—doing it there too would be next-level!”
The special night was hosted by Bobby Bones and livestreamed for fans everywhere to enjoy—marking not just a big night for Gwen and Blake, but a sweet celebration of music, milestones, and love.
