Blake Shelton on the response to his Super Bowl commercial: 'My phone was smoking last night'

“I thought it was so funny,” the country star says.

“Because people still don’t really understand why [Gwen Stefani is] with me.”

Cue Levine setting Stefani up with Shelton, and the two lived happily ever after.

“You realize, ‘Oh my God, nobody has ever really watched me win an award.’

I know that now.

But everybody watches the Super Bowl.

Now it’s confirmed: I know every contact in my phone was watching that game.”

He continues, “It was funny, we had a blast.

When I read the script, I thought it was a great idea.

I thought it was so funny.

Because people still don’t really understand why she’s with me.

And fair enough, right?

So I loved being able to spin that out.”

And being able to reunite with Levine, his former costar onThe Voice, must have been fun?

“No,” Shelton deadpans.

“Gotta suffer for my art.”
