Blake Shelton may have the voice, the hits, and the headlines—but at a recent stop on his Friends and Heroes tour in San Diego, it was a pint-sized fan who stole the spotlight, the mic, and everyone’s hearts.
While performing his high-energy duet “Hell Right” alongside Trace Adkins, Blake made a spontaneous decision that led to one of the most unforgettable—and adorable—moments of the night. In a move that shows just how much he loves his fans, Blake handed the mic to a fearless 5-year-old girl on stage, and what happened next was pure magic.
Without missing a beat, she belted out “Hell right!” with the kind of confidence and timing that would make any coach on The Voice hit their button. The crowd roared with applause, and Blake? He was all smiles—lighting up like a proud uncle at a talent show. A well-deserved high-five sealed the moment as the arena melted into one big collective “aww.”
The sweet video quickly made its rounds on social media, with one proud family member sharing, “@blakeshelton You made this 5 yr. old little girl’s day! She loves your music and asks to listen to it at night as she is falling asleep.” To which Blake jokingly responded on Twitter: “Hell Right!!!!!!! I never claimed to be a good roll model…”
When fans pointed out the “roll model” typo, Blake laughed it off, blaming it on looking at his “triple chin” in the video replay. Classic Blake—country superstar with a self-deprecating sense of humor to match.
And while another surprise of the night included Gwen Stefani joining him on stage for their duet “Nobody But You,” even the pop icon’s cameo couldn’t quite top the unexpected power note from his youngest collaborator.
With a moment like this, one thing’s for sure: if Blake’s ever short a duet partner again, he knows exactly who to call. And maybe—just maybe—we’ll see this little firecracker auditioning for The Voice one day.
