"I did something with my favorite on the show, cause he's my big brother," she said about Shelton at the time according to Taste of Country. "He's just a rock star. He's great. He's so playful and so fun, and down-to-earth. He's got a great heart, which... I guess you see on the show."

She continued, "He busted his ass to make the time and God knows where he was. I got the e-mail after he heard [the vocals], because I was the first person to put my vocal down. He was like, 'I had to put a clothespin on my nutsack just to hit some of these notes. Why did you make it so high?' But that's good ole Blake, what's why I love him."
