Gwen Stefani posted to her socials a clip from tonight's (1/24) Grammy Special hosted by Gayle King where she and Blake Shelton are interviewed together.

She wrote, "Tune in tonight on @cbstv at 10/9c!! gx @blakeshelton @gayleking #NobodyButYou #GRAMMYs #goodtimes."

When Gayle compared Gwen to a Porsche and a vegan and then said Blake is like a pickup truck and a "beef eater," Shelton said, "It's all true. I feel like all of those things like that are just little details. It has nothing to do with what matters, you know? And what matters to me is just the human being that she is on the inside. She has a way of looking at life in a way that I've never experienced and she always says that she doesn't understand what I mean, but she has a way of looking at a person's situation from every angle."

He added, "She's the most understanding, kindhearted person I've ever met. I learn something from her every day."

The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles' Staples Center Sunday (1/26) on CBS. Blake is up for Best Country Solo Performance for "God's Country."
