RaeLynn Talks New Era of Music, Teaming Up with Florida Georgia Line and Mentor Blake Shelton
[edited]
You also met a pretty important mentor on The Voice — Blake Shelton.
Blake, first of all, is one of the most genuine humans I’ve ever met. I still talk to him at least once a week. He always texts me. He’s about as concerned as I am about my career. He’s always excited any time I have a success. Anytime I’ve ever had questions, he’s always helped me through it. Definitely when he and Adam [Levine] turned around, the best decision I ever made in my career was picking him because I don’t know what life would have been like without his support. And he loves my husband, which means a lot to me, too.
And you’ve gotten to know his girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, over the years. They even went to your wedding!
They’re so cute. I love Gwen. Gwen’s so nice to me. It’s so funny — I found a picture from 10 years ago; I used to wear her brand, Harajuku Girls, all the time. I told her that the first time I met her, and I definitely put my foot in my mouth. I was like, “Oh my God, when I was 13 I used to wear your Harajuku clothes all the time.” She was like, “You’re making me feel so old!” But she laughed it off. I think she thought I was cute. I just love her style, and I still fan-girl a little bit when she comments on my pictures on Instagram: I forget she follows me!
