Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are not only dating, they're making music together, too.
The new couple have written a country song together and an industry insider gives it a thumbs up. "It's amazing how good she sounds on a pretty country song. And it sure is good to hear Blake singing real country again."
After the two confirmed that they are dating, a source said, "They've been supporting each other through a difficult time. And they're really happy together."
Gwen announced her divorce from Gavin Rossdale in August.

So the biggest question after the show last night is "Who is Chris Stapleton?" While you might not recognize his voice just yet, you HAVE heard his songs before.. Just being sang by some of the biggest stars of country music.. He's written for Josh Turner (Your Man/ Another Try) Tim McGraw (Whiskey & You) Luke Bryan (Drink A Beer) Kenny Chesney (Never Wanted Nothing More) Darius Rucker (Comeback Song) and a guy by the name of George Strait (Love's Gonna Make It Alright).. In case you missed it last night here are the 2 songs he performed with Justin Timberlake..
So by now you've seen or at least heard of the "Mean Tweets" series that Jimmy Kimmel does on his show. Well last night since it was Country Music's Biggest Night he had some country stars read mean tweets about themselves and they are quite entertaining.. Just as a warning there is some language that has been bleeped..
