What would you do if your ex-wife’s biggest heartbreak song was screamed in your face on national television? Most people would run away or hide, but Blake Shelton had to sit perfectly still for 210 seconds of pure awkwardness.
A singer named Britnee Kellogg walked onto the stage of The Road and chose to sing “Tin Man.” This is the famous song Miranda Lambert wrote about her painful divorce from Blake.

Fans online could not stop talking about how awkward it felt to watch. One viewer said that they held their breath the whole time. Another person wrote that the silence from Blake was louder than the music itself.
While that silence on stage felt like a wall, music usually tries to tear walls down. Every story of a breakup has two sides and two different ways of remembering the pain.

In his own music, Blake shows a different kind of hurt that feels like a rainy day. He sings about how a simple melody on the radio can bring back a ghost from the past. He looks lonely in his music videos while he talks about trying to move on.
Blake Shelton is a man who knows how to tell a story even when he stays silent. He keeps moving forward one song at a time. Follow Blake Shelton on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for more of his story.
