Blake Shelton sings a Muni Long song so beautifully in his car that fans are now dreaming of a surprise duet on the Brandy and Monica tour.
Country megastar Blake Shelton has sent shockwaves through both country and R&B fandoms with a simple, soulful moment: a video of himself in his truck, crooning Muni Long’s viral R&B hit “Hrs and Hrs.” The raw, unfiltered clip shows Shelton’s unmistakable baritone exploring a genre far from his Oklahoma roots—and he does it so effortlessly that fans are already calling for a live duet between Shelton and Muni Long on the upcoming Brandy and Monica tour.
The video, uploaded to Shelton’s Instagram and TikTok, shows him alone behind the wheel, windows rolled down, sunset streaming in, as he belts the smooth ballad with surprising ease. His rugged yet tender delivery brings a new dimension to Muni’s late-night anthem, transforming it into a heartfelt confession with a country twist. Within hours, the clip racked up millions of views and spawned hashtags like #BlakeSheltonHrs and #CountryMeetsRnB, uniting two musical worlds in ways few could have imagined.
Fans flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to delight. Comments like “I never thought I’d hear Blake Shelton sing R&B, but he just crushed it!” and “This NEEDS to happen live with Muni!” filled his posts. The excitement only intensified when news broke that Shelton is in talks to make guest appearances on select dates of the Voices United Tour—a blockbuster tour headlined by Brandy, Monica, and Muni Long that’s already set to shake up the industry.
Rumors are swirling that tour producers are hoping to bring Shelton onstage for a surprise performance of “Hrs and Hrs” with Muni, a move that would instantly go down in live music history. While nothing has been confirmed, sources close to the tour say both artists are open to the idea, with Muni herself reposting Shelton’s video and adding heart emojis and the teasing caption, “Shall we, @blakeshelton?”
The Voices United Tour, which kicks off this fall, already promises an all-star celebration of powerhouse voices, genre-bending collaborations, and unforgettable nights. Featuring Brandy and Monica—whose decades-spanning legacies include classics like “The Boy Is Mine” and “Angel of Mine”—as well as Muni Long, the tour is a showcase of R&B’s past, present, and future. Adding a country superstar like Shelton would not only break new ground but also send a powerful message about the universal language of music.
Music critics are calling Shelton’s unexpected cover a bold and refreshing move. “Blake Shelton’s video is a perfect reminder that great songs transcend genre,” wrote Carissa Lane, senior editor at Rolling Stone. “It’s rare to see an artist at his level take a risk like this so publicly, and fans are clearly here for it.”
Tour insiders say that if Shelton joins, the plan would be for him and Muni to perform “Hrs and Hrs” as a duet, blending his earthy country tones with her silky R&B vocals. Other potential surprises could include Shelton collaborating with Brandy or Monica on stripped-down, genre-crossing takes of their hits. Rehearsal plans remain top secret, but excitement is building behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, Brandy and Monica are preparing their own collaborations for the tour. Sources hint at a new take on their iconic duet “The Boy Is Mine,” reimagined with modern production and guest appearances from Muni. The tour promises to bring together generations of R&B fans—and if Shelton signs on, a whole new wave of country fans will join the ride.
Adding to the buzz is the tour’s stunning production. Concertgoers can expect a stage design that morphs from elegant, candlelit soul lounges to neon-drenched club vibes, paired with visuals that celebrate the artists’ storied careers. Dynamic LED walls, immersive lighting, and multiple costume changes will make each show a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.
Fans lucky enough to snag VIP tickets will enjoy perks like early entry, exclusive tour merch, and potential backstage meet-and-greet opportunities. A portion of every ticket sold will benefit nonprofits focused on music education for underprivileged youth—a cause Shelton has championed throughout his career.
With ticket demand already through the roof, many industry insiders believe the Voices United Tour could become one of the year’s highest-grossing concert events—especially if the whispers about Shelton’s involvement prove true. Ticketmaster’s pre-sale registration crashed briefly after the video went viral, a sign of the fervor sweeping both country and R&B communities.
For Shelton, the viral moment underscores his willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Known for hits like “God’s Country” and “Honey Bee,” he’s spent years at the top of the country charts and as a fan-favorite coach on The Voice. But this car-ride cover of an R&B ballad may go down as one of his most game-changing moments yet.
As fans eagerly wait for more news, one thing is certain: the walls between country and R&B have never looked thinner—and music lovers everywhere are ready to celebrate what happens when genres collide.
