Blake Shelton knows how to put on a great show—but this time, it was his off-stage moment that truly stole the spotlight.
On Tuesday, May 13, Blake lit up Rockefeller Plaza with a live performance on TODAY as part of the Citi Concert Series. He treated fans to new hits like “Texas” and “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” from his latest album, For Recreational Use Only, plus crowd favorites like “Boys ‘Round Here” and “Honey Bee.”
But among the sea of cheering fans, one woman caught Blake’s attention—Alexa from Erie, Pennsylvania. A longtime superfan, Alexa was seeing Blake live for the 19th time (yes, you read that right!). And this time, her loyalty and love didn’t go unnoticed.
In a heartwarming twist, TODAY’s Craig Melvin asked Alexa if she’d like to meet Blake in person. Moments later, Blake stepped off the stage, walked straight up to her, and gave her a warm hug—bringing Alexa to happy tears. It was pure magic, and the touching moment quickly won over viewers at home.
Fans flooded social media with love for the country star. “Blakey. One of the good guys. Awesome,” one person wrote. Another added, “Omg he is legit the nicest human.” One commenter even shared, “My cousin worked on The Voice and said Blake is even nicer than he seems on TV!”
Blake’s surprise was part of the second installment of this summer’s Citi Concert Series. With big names like Cynthia Erivo, Zac Brown Band, and the Jonas Brothers still to come, fans are hoping for more unforgettable moments just like this one.
Because when it comes to fan love, Blake Shelton just gets it—and proves again and again why he’s one of country music’s most beloved stars.
