The 2025 American Music Awards have passed, leaving many still excitedly discussing the event. Yet, not all conversations are favorable. One aspect of the broadcast, which aired on Monday within the 2025 TV lineup, that seemed to irritate some viewers was the inclusion of pre-recorded performances. Artists like Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were among those who chose this method. Following these performances, Shelton has now expressed his thoughts and addressed fans who criticized him for not physically attending the awards show with his wife.

How Were Blake Shelton And Gwen Stefani Involved In The AMAs This Year?

This year at the AMAs, several live acts were showcased, including Benson Boone, Reneé Rapp, and Gloria Estefan. However, instead of a live performance, Blake Shelton’s appearance was a pre-recorded video where he sang his hit song “Stay Country or Die Tryin'”. During the event, some viewers in the audience shared their thoughts on social media. One fan expressed confusion about watching the prerecorded segment, and their TikTok video about it has gone viral. You can watch it below:

As a moviegoer, I’ve noticed that the former Voice coach has been getting some negative feedback recently. It reminds me of the criticism Gwen Stefani faced as well. During the AMAs, she performed “The Sweet Escape” and “Swallow My Tears” in a pre-recorded video, which led another TikTok user to post:

To put it plainly, not everyone at the American Music Awards was thrilled with how certain performances were managed, and as someone who’s never been shy about voicing opinions, it came as no surprise when “I’ll Just Hold On” singer decided to weigh in on the matter through social media.

What Did Blake Shelton Say About The AMAs Brouhaha?

Blake Shelton utilized social media platform X to express his reaction towards the critique of his and his partner’s performance at the AMAs. Unlike his usual playful banter, Shelton opted for a sincere approach in his response, avoiding any humor or jabs directed at others. Instead, he delivered a straightforward message.

Currently reading about Gwen and me pre-recording our acts for the AMA’s. When the program requested, we appeared on stage as scheduled. Not much else to add.

More on Blake Shelton

Blake Shelton confessed that he took a break for roughly a year following his time on “The Voice,” but there’s no denying his current enthusiasm.

According to the country music artist’s remarks, he and Gwen Stefani merely followed through with their assigned performance. At present, there has been no statement from show representatives regarding the choice to pre-record their performances. Although we may not have more details on this issue, it is accurate to say that the famous duo continues to stay active.

As a fervent fan, I can’t help but admire the dynamic duo, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. They both are consistently churning out fresh tracks in their thriving music careers. On top of that, Blake is making a comeback on television! He’s collaborating with Taylor Sheridan on an exciting singing competition series titled “The Road“. This captivating show is slated to premiere during the fall TV schedule of 2025 on CBS.

Regarding the AMAs scenario, Shelton appears to have distanced himself from it, as suggested by his recent post. However, whether this clarification provides solace to fans who were eagerly anticipating their joint performance on stage is uncertain.
