Hold on, party people! Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, music’s cutest couple, won’t be ringing in the New Year together this time. But before you worry about broken hearts and tearful countdowns, let me assure you, this is all about work – sparkly, exciting, rock-the-microphone kind of work!
Turns out, both Gwen and Blake have snagged amazing New Year’s Eve gigs. Blake’s headed to Nashville, Tennessee, to rock the stage at a super cool party called “New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.” Gwen, on the other hand, is flying across the country for a similar bash in Las Vegas!
Now, you might be thinking, “Why wouldn’t Gwen just cheer Blake on from the crowd?” That was her plan too! But then Vegas called, offering her a chance to headline her own New Year’s Eve show. Remember that crazy party she hosted there last year? It was fun, but Gwen decided she’d rather be rocking out than hosting this time. Besides, Blake’s already working, so why not grab another awesome opportunity?
“You sometimes want to not be the host,” Gwen told Access Hollywood. “And then I was like, ‘Eh, I’m gonna do it! If you’re gonna be working then I’m gonna be working.'” So, instead of cheering from the sidelines, Gwen’s going to be dazzling a whole different crowd with her own high-energy performance.
Now, don’t think this means there’s trouble in paradise! Gwen and Blake are super supportive of each other’s careers. In fact, Blake’s show starts two hours earlier than Gwen’s, so he can even catch some of her performance online before hitting the stage himself. Talk about a supportive spouse!
And even though they won’t be together at midnight, they’ll still be celebrating in their own way. Gwen plans to “fly in and out” of Vegas, keeping the trip short and sweet so she can reunite with Blake as soon as possible. Besides, New Year’s Eve isn’t the only day to celebrate, right?
So, there you have it! Gwen and Blake’s separate New Year’s Eve plans aren’t a sign of anything but two successful artists at the top of their game. They’re both getting to do what they love, entertain fans, and ring in the New Year with a bang (or two!). Let’s raise a glass (or a sparkly microphone) to Gwen and Blake, and wish them both a rockin’ New Year’s Eve, even if they’re not together at the clock strike!
