The First Spark of Lambert’s Love
Both Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s careers were up and rising when they were first asked to share the stage for CMT in 2005. The two country stars met for the first time backstage, and couldn’t keep their eyes off each other during their amazing performance together. And this was just the first part of their blazing romance that was about to come.
Everyone who was watching the show had gotten a front row seat at the beginning of their love story. But Blake Shelton had a lot more than warm, fuzzy feelings going on through his head at the time.
Shelton’s First Thoughts About Lambert
Both Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert had instantly connected as soon as they met. From the chemistry they had on stage while performing to the backstage banter, everything seemed incredibly natural and comfortable.
However, Shelton was married to another Oklahoma native, Kaynette Williams, during this time. So, what was actually going through his head as he shared a romantic moment on stage with Lambert?
Years later on a special episode on Behind the Music: Miranda Lambert, Shelton shared that he was a bit thrown off at the time. “I’ve never had that kind of experience with anybody. I was a married guy, you know? Standing up there and singing with somebody thinking ‘Man, this shouldn’t be happening’.”
