Imagine standing in the middle of a crowded room with 2,000 of your closest friends while the clock ticks toward midnight. Blake Shelton stood on a stage draped in neon lights at his brand new Ole Red venue in Las Vegas to ring in 2025. It was the first time many fans saw him focus solely on his music after he left his big chair on national television.
The video tells how the air shifted as the first notes of his new song Texas filled the room. This song sounds like the old country music we used to hear on the radio years ago with plenty of fiddle and steel guitar.

People who saw the moment could not stop talking about how happy he looked on that stage. One viewer said that seeing him back in a bar setting made them feel like they were right there having a drink with him. Another person mentioned that they missed his voice and were glad he was touring again.
That high energy in the Nevada desert was just the beginning of a massive year for the tall singer. While the Vegas show was intimate and personal, he eventually took that same fire back to the place where it all started.
He traveled to the heart of Tennessee to join forces with a long time friend for an even bigger celebration. This transition showed that he could handle the glitz of the strip and the grit of the stadium all at once.

He stood on the massive stage at Nissan Stadium in front of 60,000 screaming people to perform Hillbilly Bone. His old pal Trace Adkins joined him and their voices fit together like a lock and key. The two joked around and sang about their country pride while fire and lights exploded behind them.
