Every year, the Grammy Awards bring exceptional and unforgettable performances. This year’s ceremony was no different.

The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards was packed with amazing acts from the biggest names in the music industry. There were a lot of memorable performances and emotional tributes from artists like Lizzo, Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello, John Legend, Billie Eilish, and more.

One of the most anticipated performances of the night was Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s duet of their single, Nobody But You. Unfortunately, the couple failed to leave a good impression.

Prior to hitting the stage, Blake and Gwen walked the red carpet together at the Staples Center. Blake opted for an all-black outfit, while Gwen went for white.

Styled by Rob Zangardi, the 50-year-old singer traded her usual rebellious-punk style for a sweeter look in a custom Dolce & Gabbana mini dress.

The fit-and-flare structured mini is intricately encrusted with pearl beads and shells. It also has a strapless straight neckline and a straight hem that hit several inches above her knees.

Gregory Arlt, beauty influencer and Director of Makeup Artistry for MAC Cosmetics, glammed up Gwen Stefani. He accentuated her eyes with mascara, eyeliner, and shimmery bronzed eyeshadow. He then kept the rest of the look muted with pale pink lip gloss and a just a flush of color on her cheeks.

She simply wore her platinum blonde hair down, pin-straight and parted in the middle, courtesy of hairstylist Danilo. Her nails were painted in white with shimmering glitters at the tips.

Gwen accessorized with Mateo jewelry, including a pair of obtuse angle pearl earrings and a selection of rings.

Injecting a touch of rebel edge to the look, she paired her dress with fishnets and PVC thigh-high boots from Le Silla.

Fans hated Gwen and Blake’s Grammy duet

The chemistry between Blake and the even richer Gwen is undeniable. However, the couple seem to lose it when they are performing together on stage.

Their duet last Sunday marked the first time that they hit the Grammy stage together.

Following their performance, the couple started trending on Twitter… for all the wrong reasons. Blake and Gwen were dragged for their disappointing Grammy performance.

And what’s worse is that Blake’s ex-wife Miranda Lambert witnessed their duet.

How did Blake and Gwen meet?

Blake and Gwen have been going steady for nearly five years now. They first met in April 2014 when Gwen joined as a coach on The Voice.

And a month later, Gwen filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale, citing irreconcilable differences.

After some obvious flirting on The Voice Season 9, Gwen and Blake officially began dating in November 2015. Gwen’s rep told US Weekly: “Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating.”

In February 2016, Gwen and Blake made their relationship red carpet official as they attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
