Before the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards started on Sunday night (Jan. 26), the country stars were making their way into the show and a few of them stopped to talk for the Grammy Red Carpet Live<\/em> show about the music, the night and what it means to them as artists.<\/p>\n

Starting with Blake Shelton and his girlfriend Gwen Stefani. They were one of the earliest arrivals because their performance of their duet \u201cNobody But You\u201d was one of the first songs of the show. <\/p>\n

But first, Shelton told the story of his last hit single, \u201cGod\u2019s Country.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just one of those moments when I was out on the land working, and hearing that song for the first time was like an out-of-body experience,\u201d Shelton said. \u201cI knew it was important to me, and I kind of made a pact with myself that moving forward, I\u2019m just gonna record music that I love. And let the cards fall where they may.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Stefani shared why she thought the night was already absolutely mind blowing: \u201cI\u2019m here with Blake Shelton, my favorite human being. He saved my entire life,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone was like, \u2019How was your drive over?\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2019Wonderful. I was with Blake Shelton. He just makes me laugh and smile. He\u2019s the greatest guy. Everybody says it.\u201d<\/p>\n

During Keith Urban\u2019s red carpet interview, he took the chance to reflect on Kobe Bryant\u2019s tragic death earlier that day and the somber vibe that was in the air. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor, and it does feel like a family,\u201d Urban said of his role as a Grammy Awards presenter. \u201cMaybe in times like this, especially, you feel a sense of the importance of relationships, friendships and family: the things that really matter.\u201d (He also shared that he was there solo because his wife Nicole Kidman was at home wit the flu.)<\/p>\n

Tanya Tucker, 61, who\u2019d won her first two Grammy Awards during the non-televised premiere show, stopped on the carpet and talked about what an amazing journey it has been. And a long one, at that. \u201cAlmost 50 years in this business,\u201d she shared, \u201cand you just never give up your dream. I had my first Grammy nomination when I was 14. (This) was worth the wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

And of her collaborator Brandi Carlile standing next to her, Tucker said, \u201cThis one here: God kicked her off a cloud. This is the reason right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI started singing Tanya\u2019s songs when I was 8 years old and she\u2019s been my hero since I was very little girl,\u201d Carlile said. \u201cI knew that in country music, we needed Tanya\u2019s voice back, and we made it our mission, but she did it herself.\u201d <\/p>\n
