Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani's Super Bowl commercial about Adam Levine setting them up for T-Mobile was a highlight of the Super Bowl on Sunday and it made Blake's phone blow up.

Shelton told Entertainment Weekly on Monday (2/8), "Of all the things that I've been fortunate enough to have happen in my life, I don't know that my phone has ever erupted — I mean my phone was smoking last night."

He continued, "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. 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."
