Gwen Stefani’s and husband Blake Shelton’s American Music Awards performances are driving viewers b-a-n-a-n-a-s — but not for the reason you may think.
The show, which aired on Monday, was billed as a live celebration of music’s biggest names.
Yet fans were quick to notice that neither Stefani nor Shelton performed their sets live, even though it appeared that way to viewers at home. At the actual ceremony, prerecorded videos were played to an audience who were left watching an empty stage.
In one TikTok video posted on Tuesday, a visibly annoyed user filmed her view: a screen showing Stefani performing some of her greatest hits while the real star was noticeably absent.
“She’s not here,” the user says, equal parts baffled and betrayed.
