Fans immediately flooded the comments, desperate to decode the mysterious message.

One fan asked, “Blake Shelton what is this? What is going on with you???”

Another said, “He’s coming out with a [beer emoji]. Or a collab with Zach Bryan (something in the orange??)” referencing Blake’s hit song.

A third joked, “Blake coming out with ganja line was not on our 2025 bingo card.”

Some fans questioned whether Blake would reveal more at his upcoming concert, with one asking, “Will you tell us in Greenville tonight or?”

The most popular theory revolved around new music, possibly a new album with his wife Gwen Stefani.

“Album with Gwen?” one comment read, while another speculated, “Album title?!”

A particularly eager fan even claimed, “Rumor has it that the new album is coming on May 9th including a new duet with Gwen, can’t wait!”

Last year, The U.S. Sun told how Gwen is planning to ‘quit’ The Voice after 10 years to spend more time with Blake and her kids.

The 55-year-old, who first joined The Voice back in 2014, was back for another season finale in December with her finalist, 16-year-old Sydney Sterlace.

Reflecting on her journey throughout the NBC singing competition seemingly made Gwen realize it “may be time to graduate” from the show.

According to a source close to Team Gwen, the pop superstar had been “crying a lot” during the season.

They said: “She has said several times while filming that she’s even more of an ‘emotional wreck’ this season than she ever has been.

“It was nonstop emotions, crying throughout this entire journey but you can tell it’s mostly rooted in joy and deep pride for the work she’s done.”

The insider added that due to her behavior this season, “all signs are pointing” to her calling it quits after a 10-year run.

“She never outright said she was done with the show but it seems like she’s quitting, yeah. She’s done I think.

“Gwen wants to spend more time with her family now that Blake is also off the show.

“She really found a second home in Oklahoma and seeing Blake walk away from the show and prioritize his own music and their family life, I think made her realize what her next chapter can look like.”

Blake, who married Gwen in 2021, was a staple of the show himself, having coached between 2011 and 2023.
