Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton debut new duet at Super Bowl

Gwen Stefani

Music superstars Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton delighted fans at the Super Bowl LVIII TikTok Tailgate event in Las Vegas with a live performance of their new duet, 'Purple Irises.' The power couple took the stage and showcased their undeniable chemistry as they sang together.

As Shelton strummed his guitar, Stefani captivated the audience with her unique Wild West-inspired ensemble, featuring black and white attire and light pink satin open chaps. Her signature platinum blonde hair was styled in a high ponytail, completing her statement look.

The duo released 'Purple Irises' just days before their Super Bowl performance. The emotionally-charged track seems to reflect their deep connection and expresses the fear of losing one another. Stefani's sentimental lyrics depict a love that is difficult to match, saying, 'But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I do, don't know what I'd do. Don't want to lose you.' The song also explores the blossoming of their relationship, with the lyrics stating, 'No, I never knew a love like this. Now we're picking purple irises.'

Collaborating on music is not new territory for Stefani and Shelton. Their previous country-infused songs, 'Nobody But You' and 'Happy Anywhere,' have both reached number one on the charts. Additionally, their 2017 holiday hit, 'You Make It Feel Like Christmas,' became a fan favorite.

Stefani has been open about how Shelton has positively impacted her life. She previously shared with PEOPLE magazine that he has brought a sense of belonging and home to her. She explains, 'He's changed my life... when I [started dating] Blake, that's when I felt home, like, 'Oh, this is where I'm supposed to be, with this guy.''

In addition to her collaborations with Shelton, Gwen Stefani has exciting plans for her own musical journey. She is set to reunite with her band, No Doubt, for a performance at Coachella this spring. The unexpected announcement thrilled fans, and Stefani expressed her excitement at the overwhelming response from audiences.

The Super Bowl LVIII TikTok Tailgate event served as a thrilling prelude to the much-anticipated championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. The star-studded event and Stefani and Shelton's captivating performance only heightened the anticipation for the exhilarating sports showdown.

As the musical power couple continues to enchant audiences with their love-infused collaborations, fans eagerly await more remarkable music from Stefani and Shelton.
