Fans In Awe As Gwen Stefani Joined Blake Shelton For Live Rendition Of “Don’t Speak”
Gwen Stefani surprised fans at her husband Blake Shelton’s recent show at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, NE on August 18, 2021. Although Stefani has slowed down the pace of her music career in recent years, she proved that she still has what it takes to captivate an audience with her incredible stage presence.
During the show, Stefani treated the crowd to an impromptu performance of her classic hit, “Don’t Speak.” While the original version of the song is an alternative rock ballad, the band gave it a country twist to fit the theme of Shelton’s show. Despite being nearly three decades old, Stefani delivered the song with an immense amount of passion, as showcased in the video below.
The choice of “Don’t Speak” as a live duet for the married couple is quite interesting, considering that Gwen wrote the song as a response to her first love, Tony Kanal, breaking up with her.
Despite it being Shelton’s show, he took a backseat and played a solid rhythm part on the acoustic guitar, allowing Stefani to shine and engage with the audience, which she does best. As always, Stefani gave her all to the crowd, who absolutely loved her energy and performance.
Since the video was uploaded on YouTube on August 19, 2021, it has amassed nearly 4 million views with 36K likes. Many viewers flooded in the comment sessions to praise Gwen Stefani’s performance.
One wrote, “As a fan of Gwen and no doubt, I love that despite their different styles, she still has remained true to herself and Blake has as well. Too often you see people change for others, but you can tell he appreciates her for who she is and just lets her fly. It’s beautiful seeing them together.”
Another commented, “All that guitar bragging went out the window when she walked on stage and you could just tell he’s head over heels for her. The way he was singing like a super fan in the background, and the way he looked at her. Geez if that man isn’t anything else, he’s definitely in love.”
