As 2024 approached, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani had to spend New Year’s Eve apart due to separate performances. Shelton faced mixed reactions for his pre-recorded duets with Trace Adkins aired on CBS’ New Year’s Eve special, stirring controversy among fans.
Some criticized the performance quality, while others were confused about the “live” aspect since Shelton was actually performing at the WinStar World Casino in Oklahoma. Despite the mixed reception and logistical confusion, Shelton managed to entertain both his live audience in Oklahoma and the CBS viewers, only missing the company of his wife, Stefani.
