Blake Shelton kicked off his Friends and Heroes Tour last night, and brought along fellow country stars as openers, including the Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson, Trace Adkins and Lauren Alaina.
Shelton began his tour where things truly started for him, in his home state of Oklahoma, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. To a sold-out crowd, the country star kicked off the concert talking about how great it was to be back home, and he was quick to add that he was referring to coming back to the state he loves and still lives in, Oklahoma. Of course, this was met with thunderous cheers from the crowd.

The nationwide tour will have Shelton zig-zagging from coast to coast. According to Shelton, having his musical heroes on the road with him is definitely making the tour an unforgettable experience. Prior to the tour kick off, Shelton shared in a statement:
“I’m really excited about my tour because it’s taking where I came from and the music I listened to growing up, and actually introducing it to a whole new audience,” Shelton says. “I think that this is going to be a great opportunity for the country music fanbase to be re-introduced to these guys, and, selfishly, I’m just excited to share the stage with them!"
