No one was more excited for her than her boyfriend of almost three years, Blake Shelton. Earlier in the day, he tweeted, “Today’s the day! @gwenstefani opening night in Las Vegas!!! I wouldn’t miss this for the world…”

Shelton was her biggest fan in the audience, and her fans noticed! One snapped a short video of him enjoying the show.
He also made sure she felt the love before she went on stage by sending her a special gift – something she has admitted time and again that she loves. Stefani documented her day leading up to the show on her Instagram story, and lovingly showed off Shelton’s gift – a beautiful flower arrangement with a sweet note.
In the video of her showing off the flowers, she wrote, “I love my Blake!!!” and drew a heart around the note, which read, “You’ve worked so hard for this show. Congrats on opening night!!! I love you.”
After the show, Stefani celebrated with the people closest to her, including Shelton – and shared this super cute photo of them at the after party.

According to Us Weekly, Stefani gave her beau a couple shoutouts throughout her 25-song performance. While donning a cute country-inspired costume, she told the audience, “You don’t know what it’s like to be able to wear a cowgirl costume right in front of Blake Shelton. It’s my dream come true. Thanks for sharing this with me.”
She also pointed directly at him, while he had her 4-year-old son Apollo in his lap, and sang the lyrics, “You seem like you’d be a good dad,” from the No Doubt song “A Simple Kind of Life.”
