Gwen Stefanijust got her Grand Ole Opry shining moment!
On Saturday night,Blake Sheltonreturned to the legendary stage and performed two back-to-back shows. During the event, the country star brought out wife Stefani for a memorable performance, which also marked her in-person Grand Ole Opry debut.
