The other nominees in the Country Artist of 2020 category were Kelsea Ballerini, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke combs, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, and Keith Urban. Shelton was also nominated for Male Artist of 2020 but lost to Justin Bieber. The other nominees in that category were Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Drake, DaBaby, Lil Baby, and The Weeknd.
Stefani and Shelton started dating in November 2015 and quarantined together during the pandemic. They announced their engagement on Oct. 27, with the couple sharing a photo of themselves kissing and Stefani showing off her engagement ring. "Thanks for saving my 2020... And the rest of my life," Shelton wrote on Instagram. "I love you. I heard a YES!"
A few days after the engagement, a source close to Stefani told PEOPLE the two do not want a "big wedding." Instead, they only plan to invite close friends and family for a small, intimate ceremony. The source also noted that Shelton got permission from Stefani's three sons to propose. The former No Doubt singer and ex-husband Gavin Rossdale share sons Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 6.
Shelton is "very close" to Stefani's sons, one source told Entertainment Tonight. "They talked it through and Blake made sure they were part of the excitement! Blake had a custom-made engagement ring. He knows the designer and has used them in the past to make bracelets for Gwen." The source said Shelton made sure the trio was involved in "every step" of his engagement plans.
Shelton also thanked fans for their support on Twitter after he picked up the award. "You absolutely deserve it," one person replied. "People who do good things always receive blessings!! Congratulations."
