Gwen Stefani may have just gotten engaged to Blake Shelton last week, but that doesn’t mean she does not still want to beat him on this season of “The Voice,” which they are both coaches on.  That’s why she decided to bring in the big guns and enlist the help of a country music legend to help her secure an act that she feels could win her this season of the reality show!

On Monday night, Stefani and Shelton squared off when they both turned their chairs around in the latest round of the blind auditions for the country-tinged vocal trio, Worth the Wait, an act that is made up of a mother and her two daughters.

“My competitive side has grown,” Stefani said as she plead her case to the Alabama-based group, hoping they would pick her as their coach. She explained that she and her brother, Eric, were two of the founders of No Doubt, meaning she knows how to work with family.

“Did you see I was on the country charts?” Stefani joked, before poking fun at her fiancé by saying that Shelton is “so burnt out” after many seasons on the NBC reality show.

“I feel like I’m the fresh one in the country lane,” Stefani added. “I have a lot of support from the country community.”

That’s when she dropped a bomb by bringing out an endorsement video from “Gwen Stefani supporter” Trace Adkins!

“I believe that every person is allotted a certain amount of good luck in his or her life,” Adkins explained as Shelton burst out laughing. “And Blake, as evidenced by his girlfriend, has used his up completely. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.”

If you want to see if Stefani’s move paid off, you’ll need to tune into “The Voice” tonight!

Entertainment Tonight reported that while they are competitive with each other, Shelton was all too happy to welcome Stefani back to “The Voice” for season 19.

“Having Gwen back is very comforting to all the coaches,” Shelton said. “We were all able to just go back to the game we already knew. We all know how to play each other at this thing. It felt like the old gang got back together again, and we’re having a blast.”

Stefani could not have agreed with her fiancé more.

“I think that being able to sit down and watch a show that’s so inspiring and will bring inspiration to people, it will definitely bring joy,” she said. “Music is the heartbeat of human beings, so I feel really blessed to be here and to be a part of that and to be able to connect around America on the TV.”

“Maybe the reason there’s so much talent is that a lot of people are kind of paused and they get to kind of, you know, follow the dream in a way they didn’t get to because maybe they’re working or they were in school,” Stefani added. “I think there’s kind of a different kind of group of people this time because of the opportunity that we are all paused in the world right now.”
