Yassss!!! I'm here for this! She is absolutely gorgeous and I listen to her music more than I think.

I love Gwen so much. I had the pleasure of a meet in greet in 2017 followed by an intimate concert where I sung my lungs out to every song. She even noticed me in the crowd and gave me a shoutout and a little speech in front of everyone. She said fans like me give her energy during performances. It was the best day of my life 💕
 

now if only Exhale photo uploading was not a nightmare, I would have inserted a pic from that night here

Happy birthday to Gwen

Thanks for serving us this bop

The Isley Brothers sample is everything

I find it so crazy that one of the coolest chicks in the industry ended up marrying someone like Blake Shelton. Nothing against the guy, but it's such a mismatch in my head.

I remember being so hyped about this video. Now people would cry culture appropriation when I think she was respectful. I’m of Mexican heritage before people come for my wig

Sounds like you too had the time of your life. What is “on the floor” though? 
 

seriously Gwen has amazing interaction with the crowd.

It's classic example of something that shouldn't work but does. I got be a virtual audience member for the upcoming season of The Voice, and seeing all their interactions behind the scenes was adorable.

Happy birthday, Gwen! ND will always be my favorite band, and Rock Steady will always be one of my fav albums.
