The singer’s residency in Las Vegas will run through November 6, completing the show run which initially began back in 2018 and went into 2020 before Covid hit.
The past two years haven’t been all bad for the singer, however, and in July she tied the knot with long-term partner Blake Shelton.
The pair initially met back in 2014 on the set of ‘The Voice’ where they were co-hosts together, and the relationship has only grown stronger since then as the pair even performed together in Vegas.
