Blake Shelton surprises fans with a brand new single entitled “Minimum Wage” during NBC’s New Year’s Eve on Thursday (Dec. 31).
The country superstar appeared virtually in a cowboy hat to premiere the music video to the new track exclusively. The new song comes just days after Shelton teased fans to join his mailing list.
“I got engaged to Gwen Stefani. I don’t care what else happened besides that. That made it a great year for me,” the country singer said before revealing his new song.
“Girl your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage,” Shelton sings in the surprise new single.
