Blake Shelton gets ‘Loaded’ in Los Angeles

Los Angeles went a little 'hillbilly' Wednesday night, as Blake Shelton brought his first-ever headlining tour to town. While his first greatest hits collection, 'Loaded: The Best of Blake Shelton,' doesn't hit stores until November 9, the singer brought the CD to life at the Club Nokia.

"Los Angeles is a collaboration of the prettiest people from every small town in the U.S.," Blake explains to The Boot. "For the most part, they were country music fans before they got to town. It always surprises me talking to people that they love country music, and it's mostly older country music that they heard before they ended up in L.A. I wouldn't want to drive a block here, and for someone to drive across town to come to a concert it shows you they do have a passion for it."

Some famous faces made that drive to see Blake, including actor Scott Baio, comedienne Chelsea Handler, pop star Kelly Clarkson, 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant Bristol Palin and, of course, his fiancé, country songbird Miranda Lambert.
