Stefani performed a [live music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uljUDtv1Kw "undefined") that doubled as an ad for Target during the broadcast, dancing on roller skates and visiting a bar with a neon sign reading “Blake’s.” On _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ on Tuesday night, the host teased, “Now was that for Blake Lively or Blake Griffin? Or perhaps, I don’t know, maybe another!” Stefani joked it was just a coincidence before admitting that the song is indeed about Blake Shelton. Stefani said she was dating her colleague from [_The Voice_](http://time.com/81961/gwen-stefani-the-voice/ "undefined") after both of them announced they were divorcing their spouses [last summer](http://www.etonline.com/news/175564%5Fdespite%5Fblake%5Fshelton%5Fromance%5Fgwen%5Fstefani%5Fis%5Fstill%5Flegally%5Fmarried%5Fto%5Fgavin%5Frossdale/ "undefined"). “What’s so crazy is like, sometimes tragedy, if you really absorb it, you can turn it into something beautiful, and this whole album is really about just trying to take something that’s awful and just, I don’t know, healing from it,” she told Kimmel. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4227174/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-grammys/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4227174/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-grammys/"},"headline":"Gwen Stefani Confirms That Song From the Grammys Is About Blake Shelton","datePublished":"2016-02-17T15:10:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:08:51.159Z","description":"\"I will admit that that song is about that guy\"","url":"https://time.com/4227174/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-grammys/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt16fd49b1811e6231/69887de10a4a2233979c866c/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt16fd49b1811e6231/69887de10a4a2233979c866c/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"blake-shelton-gwen-stefani","caption":"Recording artists Blake Shelton (L) and Gwen Stefani attend the 2016 Pre-GRAMMY Gala and Salute to Industry Icons honoring Irving Azoff at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 14, 2016 in Beverly Hills, California.","creditText":"Kevin Mazur—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4227174/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-grammys/","name":"Gwen Stefani Confirms That Song From the Grammys Is About Blake Shelton"}}]}] ```
