When Blake Shelton won the People's Choice award over the weekend for Top Country Artist his fiancé' Gwen Stefani was waiting in the car in the parking lot while Blake gave his acceptance speech.

Blake said, "Wow. This is crazy. This is absolutely insane. I'm so happy that we're able to have this award show in spite of everything."

"Thank you to my new fiancée, Gwen Stefani. That's S-t-e-f-a-n-i, if you need to Google it to figure out who she is. Thanks for the inspiration and I love you guys, thank you."

Stefani shared some behind-the-scenes footage of the Sunday event, posting Instagram Story videos from the couple's car as she waited for Shelton to accept his award. She said, “So basically I have to stay in the car because of COVID but I’m here to support Blake in case he wins."

Stefani later showed Shelton getting his temperature taken before being allowed inside the awards show.
