Carly Pearce’s condiment calamity, Blake Shelton tries (and fails) to convince us he’s king of the musical castle | Music City Minute

Carly Pearce had to be rushed to the ER after she was accosted by a bottle of ranch dressing. Pearce candidly explained how the bottle broke mid-pour, resulting in a nasty gash. Even though she tried to play in down, EMS concluded wound required stitches and urged the Opry member to be transported in an ambulance. Unfortunately, Carly learned too late she would be secured to the stretcher the entire trip. The “Truck on Fire” singer admits being strapped down was more embarrassing than the circumstances leading to her injury. Despite temporarily losing the use of her right thumb, she hilariously manages to navigate everyday tasks with grace.
I find it fascinating when artists talk about their personal music choices. According to Blake Shelton, there is only one artist filling the speakers at his house, and it is not his wife. Shelton insists he cranks all of his music, all the time. Considering the “Ole Red” singer has a hard time being serious about anything, it is safe to assume a few of his songs are on the family playlist. However, I don’t think Gwen Stefani and her kids could handle that much Blake…considering they already have to live with him.
