Blake Shelton Makes A Big Career Move
Blake Shelton has made a big career move as he left his Nashville record label of more than 23 years Warner Bros. Records and is now signed to BBR. If that label sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the record label of Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll.
Blake said, “A huge thanks to Jon, Peter, JoJamie, Katie, and the BMG family for being as excited as me about this new chapter we will write together. I felt their passion and love for music when I met with them, and I knew I was home. I am READY TO GO!”
Jon Loba, President of Frontline Recordings, Americas, and BMG said, “Blake is one of the biggest personalities and presences in media. America first got to know him through incredible, timeless songs and live shows and then fell in love with him and his sense of humor through TV. We are so excited he’s joining the BMG Global family and cannot wait to share his incredible new music with the world.”
Shelton is currently climbing the singles and streaming charts with Post Malone on the Top Five, smash hit “Pour Me A Drink.” His impressive resume includes 28 No. 1 singles, 11 Billion Global Streams, 52 million singles sold, and 13 million albums sold.
His 2025 calendar will include his Live In Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The residency will occur on February 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15. His “Friends And Heroes Tour” will Kick off February 27 in Lexington, KY, featuring Craig Morgan, Deana Carter, Trace Adkins, and Emily Ann Roberts.

Shelton did a new interview last week and talked about how much he liked Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. He commented that Kelce has a “big personality” that draws people to him.
Shelton told The Pat McAfee Show, “He’s a standout no matter where he is or what he’s doing. He’s just got this big personality. He’s a funny guy. He walks into the room, and he has a presence there, so there’s never going to be that moment where he’s in the shadows anyway just because of his charisma and his personality anyway.”
He added, “He just kind of owns the moment, whatever that is, whether it’s that picture you just had up there at one of her shows, you know?” Blake also said that Kelce is just willing to “go there.” He continued that people “love his personality” and he’s a “ton of fun — his brother too.” Shelton said he is a fan of both brothers.
When asked if he thinks Taylor Swift and Travis will last as a couple, he said that he did, and the fact that they’re both trying to “kind of put it out there” there’s no sneaking around or trying to tamp things down or keep it on the “down low.”
He concluded that when you’re willing to just come out and just kind of put it in “everybody’s face” that you’re together and you’re owning it, “that’s what Gwen and I did.”
