Naturally, plenty of social media users, including the rest of Twitter’s user base, were eager to see how (possibly still bitter) exes Blake and Miranda fared in their back-to-back.

one more wrote: “Watching this year’s CMAs out of boredom, and so far my main thought is that, while “Rangers” is far from my favorite Miranda Lambert song, her out-singing and out-performing Blake & Gwen is never the full Won’t be any different in kind, enjoyable.”

Others were simply amazed at the audacity of scheduling them one after the other. One twitter Highlighted: “They’re all here! Miranda! Blake. Gwen!”

Neither Blake Shelton nor Miranda Lambert have very high ground. The former married couple both accused each other of cheating.

In fact, both of them were in a relationship before performing the duet together, which added excitement to their relationship. At that time, Blake was married, while Miranda was engaged.

Blake talked about Miranda’s alleged cheating while dating Gwen Stefani (a partner at the time) coach on sound) in 2015. This came after she described Gavin Rossdale’s alleged cheating.

The weirdness will continue

The foundation of their relationship was formed by Blake and Gwen both being victims of (allegedly) cheating spouses. Of all of them, only Gwen never faced cheating allegations.

It was a strange union. Gwen is a mainstream music artist, while Blake – like his ex Miranda – is a star of the country genre. Somehow, he has dispute Gwen went into her world instead of the other way around.

This likely won’t be the last backstage conversation between Blake, his current wife, and his ex-wife. Especially not when country music acts want to make headlines.
