“Hey guys it’s Blake Shelton here and I know this past year has been a tough one for all of but it’s also in my opinion made us grateful for the special people that we have in our lives so let’s do this. Using the hashtag friends and heroes write to me tell me about a special person in your community that’s helped you get through the tough times and in the coming weeks I’m going to be sharing some of my favorites that you send me as we get ready to go back out on the road with the friends and heroes’ tour. It will give us a little something to ramp up and get ready for this thing I’m so excited …So send in your hashtags, tell me about a special person… let’s do this.”
