Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have long been one of music’s most beloved couples, but on their wedding day, Blake gave Gwen a gift that went far beyond words. Instead of traditional vows, Blake wrote and performed a song just for her — a beautiful ballad called “We Can Reach the Stars.” It was first shared during their ceremony on July 3, 2021, creating a memory so moving that there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.
How Blake’s Song Came to Life
Blake didn’t want to simply speak his vows — he wanted to create something Gwen would cherish forever. To make it perfect, he teamed up with renowned songwriter Craig Wiseman, and together they wrote “We Can Reach the Stars” — a heartfelt promise set to music.
“I didn’t want to just say my vows,” Blake shared later. “I wanted to give Gwen something that would last forever — something only for her.”
That first performance, on Blake’s Oklahoma ranch, was one of the most emotional moments of their wedding. The song was so special that Blake later released it on November 5, 2021, as part of the deluxe edition of his Body Language album.
Why the Song Is So Meaningful
“We Can Reach the Stars” is more than just a love song — it’s Blake’s vow in musical form. The lyrics tell a story of love, trust, and the belief that together, two people can overcome anything. The song reflects their real-life journey: meeting during difficult times, finding comfort in each other, and building a bond that grew into a lasting love.
This wasn’t just a performance. It was Blake opening his heart to Gwen in the most personal, unforgettable way.
Where to Hear It
“We Can Reach the Stars” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and on the Body Language Deluxe album. If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s a song that will remind you what true love sounds like.
Blake and Gwen’s Love Story
Blake and Gwen first met in 2014 as coaches on The Voice. Both were healing from painful divorces — Blake from Miranda Lambert, and Gwen from Gavin Rossdale. What started as friendship turned into something deeper. They went public with their relationship in 2015, got engaged in October 2020, and said “I do” in an intimate ceremony in July 2021, with The Voice host Carson Daly officiating.
A Love Song That Lasts
“We Can Reach the Stars” is a reminder of the power of love — how it can heal, inspire, and bring hope. Blake’s gift to Gwen proves that even country’s biggest stars have a tender, poetic side when it comes to the ones they love most.
