Blake also won Male Video Of The Year for "Doin' What She Likes"

Yes, that’s true 🥰. Blake had such a great 40th birthday, especially with Gwen singing Hella Good at his concert. It does make you wonder what she might have planned for Blake's 50th. Gwen always finds a way to make his milestones feel special.”

Good Morning America-Jun 1, 2026

We Can Reach the Stars

We always said we wished we'd met

Long before we finally did

But ever since that first kiss

Girl, it's felt like we were kids and

Who are we to question

God and his greater plan

You and me are a blessing

And all we gotta do is say amen, amen

And I know we can reach the stars

That's how far my love will go for you

I know we can reach the stars

You've already hung the moon

It isn't always sunny days

Now and then, the thunder rolls but

A little time and a little rain

That's what makes the flowers grow and

Girl I'll pick you daisies

And put them in a mason jar

You know you amaze my heart

You saved my heart

And I know we can reach the stars

That's how far my love will go for you

I know we can reach the stars

You've already hung the moon

You've already hung the moon

That's what you do, girl

I wanna live in a me and you world

I know we can reach the stars

That's how far my love will go for you

I know we can reach the stars

You've already hung the moon

You've already hung the moon

Thank you. I’ll definitely take a listen to the podcast. If you’re not interested, feel free to skip this post.

NO. Kingston was actually the one who was most attached to Blake in the beginning. It was very clear from all the snaps Gwen was posting at that time. He was at that age where he was really fascinated with Blake and was following him everywhere. He even chose to spend his tenth birthday hanging out on Blake’s ranch and going to his concert. He absolutely loved him from the beginning. Go back and watch the old snapchats – Gwenssnaps on Twitter is a good source for that. My favorite one was him giving Blake a huge hug when his record went number 1. But there are so many of them (him exploring with Blake in the woods, catching the huge fish, talking excitedly to him while walking on the tarmac…..)

I think I found an issue. I answered this and posted. I saw it in the inbox just now and thought it was a duplicate ask which we get from time to time. But I decided to check and I don’t see the ask and what I answered on the feed. So, glad I didn’t just delete.

I had said, there was a snap of King hugging Blake as they all sat around the fire in OK during Snapchat Ranch… I think a hug to say congrats on his album… so, pretty early on. King obviously loved Blake and felt totally comfortable with him quickly. I think the kids saw their mom go from tents and sad to happy and laughing with Blake. I think they all loved him very early on. But on the other side, I believe GR was making them feel very guilty and making himself into a huge victim that the kids felt like they had to help.

If I had to guess based on your question, it sounds like you might be newer to No Doubt’s music, because the visuals actually make a lot of sense once you understand the song. Gwen wrote ‘Simple Kind of Life’ during a period when she was questioning where she was in her life. She was coming off the massive success of Tragic Kingdom and feeling confused — she thought she’d end up with a simple life and with simple man, but her career pulled her in a completely different direction.

It’s a really sad, vulnerable song, and the visuals reflect that. They help tell the story of Gwen imagining a different life than the one she was living at the time, almost like she’s looking through a window at the version of herself she thought she’d be before No Doubt took off.

Here’s a video of Gwen and Tom talking about writing and creating ‘Simple Kind of Life.’ And if anyone else has thoughts or context to add, feel free to jump in

Thank you for responding, anon. I’m genuinely glad you came back to explain your side of things regarding your cousin and the original post. And I’m happy you’re part of the Shefani fanbase truly.

Like I mentioned before, I’ve tried to continue the tradition that @ourpickwickclub had of sharing tips or possible news when something might be happening. I’m sorry that you felt hurt, because I know you were trying to share what you’d been told. And as you said, you’ve been on Tumblr long enough to know that anytime someone shares insider info, there’s always a 50/50 chance it could be right or wrong. Without evidence, it’s also easy for people to assume it might be trolling that’s just the nature of this space.

That being said, what you’re saying now is very different from what you originally wrote on April 21. You stated: ‘My cousin was working on the Dorothy project in preproduction and development and unfortunately Blake’s production company decided to not move forward with it…’ I’ll put the full post below so you can reread it. I just wish the wording had been clearer at the time, because it would’ve helped people understand it as a “waiting” situation — the same way Lee described it.

My only real issue is that you didn’t come forward sooner to clarify. Lee’s interview was published on May 5, which was three weeks ago. The interviewer, Tori Kruse & Lee Metzger, only reposted it on their IG story two days ago, and that’s how all of us found out. In that interview, Lee clearly said that Dorothy was sold to Amazon, they’re waiting on the first script, and he explained it very plainly & simple

Unfortunately, anon, your original post did end up misleading people even if that wasn’t your intention. I hope you can see that now. Let's move forward .

I understand why everyone is upset about the anon who said their family member worked on the project and claimed Blake’s production company wouldn’t be moving forward with it. I’m adding the original post below for anyone who wants to revisit what was said.

I can only speak for myself, but I do want to apologize to anyone who believed that post. I go back and forth all the time about what to share and what to hold back. I'd like to continue the tradition that @ourpickwickclub had of sharing tips or possible news about our favorites when something might be happening. I always tried to make it clear in my responses that I was posting the ask, and I left it to everyone to decide how to interpret it. It was also easier to believe at the time because Blake announced "God’s Country" back in 2019, and that project never moved forward.

That said, I’m genuinely relieved that Lee confirmed Dorothy is still happening, that they’re just waiting on a script, and that he seems excited about several upcoming projects that will be announced soon.
