Gwen Stefani, Todd Tilghman, Ian Flanigan and more surprised Blake Shelton with a special 10 year anniversary gift on The Voice.
Following a performance of his latest single “Minimum Wage” during night one of the two night season finale of The Voice, Shelton was honored with a surprise gift, as he is the only coach to take part in all 10 years and 20 seasons of The Voice.
Shelton’s soon-to-be wife Gwen Stefani appeared in a video message with former team members of Team Blake, including Tilghman, Flanigan, Cassadee Pope, Raelynn, The Swon Brothers, Toneisha Harris, Lauren Duski, Danielle Bradbery and more.
“Surprise, Blakey!” Stefani said. “Obviously, you changed my life when I met you on The Voice my first season. But sometimes I don’t think you realize the impact you have had on so many people’s lives on this show.”
The clip went on to show his former team members praising him for the impact he’s made on their lives and career thus far.
“Blake Shelton, happy 10 years on The Voice,” Tilghman said cheerfully.
“I can’t believe that you’re celebrating 20 years of changing lives and making dreams come true,” Flanigan added.
“Everybody you come in contact with you make them feel like family,” Harris gushed. “I will forever be grateful.”
“Happy 10th anniversary on The Voice,” Raelynn added before Pope chimed in, “I love you.”
“Thank you so much and we’re sending all the love,” Bradbery said.
“Blake, thank you so much, we love you, you will always be our mentor and always be our coach,” The Swon Brothers shared.

“It’s hard to take it all in. It’s overwhelming, I love my job here and I love that I’ve been able to have some little chapter in people’s lives along the way as far as their journey goes,” Blake told host Carson Daly after watching the surprise clip. “And everyone of those that were up there they’re doing great. They’re killing it right now. They’re making music for a living and that’s a big deal, it’s pretty awesome.”
Additionally, Shelton is known to continue supporting his team members following their Voice journey. Recently, Shelton teamed up with Flanigan to record a duet together entitled “Grow Up” and The Swon Brothers penned his latest project’s title track “Body Language.”
Furthermore, Shelton’s Nashville bar Ole Red is hosting a summer residency featuring Raelynn. Other artists such as Bradbery and Pope have been given the opportunity to tour with Shelton following their time on the popular singing competition show.
