by Though Blake Shelton is now happily married to Gwen Stefani, there’s one emotional musical memory that still lingers in his heart – his unforgettable duet with ex-wife Miranda Lambert on October 25, 2017, at The Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
The former power couple took the stage together to perform “These Days I Barely Get By” – a heartfelt country ballad originally recorded by the legendary George Jones in 1984.
With raw emotion and undeniable chemistry, Blake and Miranda turned the performance into an unforgettable moment for the thousands of fans in attendance – and the millions who later watched the video online.
As Blake opened the song with his signature deep, soulful voice, the arena fell silent. When Miranda stepped out to join him, the look they shared was enough to melt hearts. Their harmony, the way they exchanged glances, smiles, and subtle gestures, made it feel as if their souls were still intertwined through the music. Many fans called it one of the most emotionally resonant performances of their careers.
The video quickly went viral across YouTube and social media, racking up millions of views and a flood of emotional comments. One viewer wrote, “I know they’re no longer together, but this performance proves they once loved each other deeply.”
Even though time has passed and both artists have moved on with their lives, that night in Nashville remains legendary – not just in the careers of Blake and Miranda, but in the hearts of country music fans around the world. And while Gwen Stefani might not be too keen on this throwback, fans agree: this magical duet will never be forgotten.
