Blake Shelton is officially back on the Las Vegas Strip, kicking off his second Live in Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

After a strong first run earlier this year, the country star’s return feels bigger—and a little more scrutinized—as fans look beyond the setlist, wondering whether his wife, Gwen Stefani, will be in attendance.

The residency dates—January 15, 18, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30, and 31—lean into a hit-heavy run through his catalog of No. 1 singles, newer tracks from For Recreational Use Only, and a few classic country covers that reflect his longtime influences. But with Shelton and Stefani keeping a lower public profile lately, fans have been openly speculating about whether the pop icon will show up to support him in Vegas, and some have taken to social media to ask the singer.

“Please greet me at the door of Ole Red... And have Gwen come out and sing with you at the Colosseum (great time to introduce Holding On!),” one fan shared on X.

“Bring your wife gwen your last show,” another wrote bluntly in the comments of one of his latest Instagram photos.

That curiosity comes amid Shelton’s recent frustration with online rumors about his marriage. In a January 10 interview with Country Countdown USA, the 49-year-old addressed ongoing divorce speculation, admitting it’s made him skeptical of what he sees online.

“Starting in October, I think, or maybe November, I started noticing these articles popping up about ‘Blake and Gwen, they’re split up, they’re not even seeing each other anymore, they’re going through a divorce,’” Shelton said. “A week later a picture comes out of us walking out of the grocery store: ‘Oh, they’re back together again,’” he added with a laugh.

He also pointed to how convincing altered images have become. “I see pictures of Gwen and I on social media that I really go, ‘that looks so real,’” he said, before noting details often don’t add up.

Away from the rumor mill, Shelton has tangible wins to celebrate. Just days before opening night, he earned the 31st No. 1 hit of his career on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with “Stay Country or Die Tryin’.”
