“At My House, It’s George Jones on Repeat” — Blake Shelton Reveals the One Artist Who Rules His Home
Country superstar Blake Shelton has finally confessed which musician dominates the playlist at his Oklahoma ranch — and it’s not his wife, pop icon Gwen Stefani.
During an appearance on The Bobby Bones Show on August 12, 2025, Shelton revealed that the only artist ever played in his home is none other than George Jones, the late country legend affectionately known as “The Possum.”
“At my house, it’s George Jones on repeat,” Shelton laughed. “Morning, afternoon, night — that’s who’s playing. Gwen’s got her studio time, but the house? That’s Possum territory.”
The revelation delighted country fans and sent social media into a frenzy. Many praised Shelton for staying true to traditional country roots, while others jokingly wondered how Stefani — famous for her pop-punk energy — felt about living in a George Jones shrine.
Shelton’s devotion to Jones runs deep. He’s long cited the He Stopped Loving Her Today singer as his biggest influence, even covering Jones’ hit “Choices” for a 2001 tribute album. On the podcast, Shelton explained, “George sang from his soul. It felt like he lived every word. That’s what I try to capture in my own songs.”
The passion began when Shelton was 14, after his late brother introduced him to Jones’s music. “I was hooked,” he recalled. “It felt like George was telling my story before I even lived it.” His ranch reportedly includes a “Jones Room” filled with memorabilia — signed LPs, old jukeboxes, and rare vinyl records.
Online, fans couldn’t get enough. One user joked, “Gwen’s begging Blake to play No Doubt, and he’s like, ‘Nope — it’s He Stopped Loving Her Today again.’” Another wrote, “Blake Shelton’s house being a George Jones temple is the most Blake thing ever.”
Even Stefani seemed amused. The next day, she posted a playful Instagram Story of herself singing along to Golden Ring, captioned, “When in Oklahoma…” Fans called it the “country-pop crossover we never knew we needed.”
Shelton’s revelation has sparked a renewed wave of interest in Jones’s catalog. According to Billboard, streams of the late singer’s classics surged 15% following the interview, with vinyl sales also climbing.
“If I can introduce one kid to George Jones, I’ve done my job,” Shelton said.
As he teases a 2026 tour inspired by Jones’s “raw, honest” style, it’s clear Shelton isn’t just a superstar — he’s a fanboy at heart. And in his Oklahoma home, one truth remains: George Jones still reigns supreme.
