Tonight is Gwen Stefani's night to shine!

At Sunday evening's Radio Disney Music Awards, everyone was excited to see the lead singer of No Doubt receive her special "Hero Award." But perhaps there was one special guy who had a little more enthusiasm than everyone else. Yes, we're talking about you, Blake Shelton.

As soon as Pharrell Williams introduced Gwen, the "Honey Bee" singer stood up for what turned into a standing ovation from the entire Microsoft Theater audience. He also shared a sweet kiss with his leading lady before she walked on stage. 

"This is crazy that this is happening to me! I never thought, I mean who am I, that I would ever make a difference?" Gwen shared with the audience. "I am so honored to be here, I am so honored to be making music."

She continued, "I am so blessed to be making music that I can share with you and that I can receive your love back. I am so healed by you!"

Those sentiments were echoed earlier in the weekend when Gwen walked the red carpet with her niece Stella. In between posing for photos, the "Make Me Like You" singer shared how excited she was for the evening.

"I have so many heroes. My mama. My dad. I said Pharrell," Gwen shared with E! News' Erin Lim. "He really has. There's been certain people that have pointed me in the right direction, reminded me how blessed I am. My children…They are all around me, my angels."

And this could be only the beginning of a huge summer for The Voice coach. In addition to hitting the road with Eve for a summer tour, Gwen has a new duet with Blake coming out that she promises will be a special track.

"I am excited because I never in my wildest dreams thought I would write a song with that guy," she joked. "He's so talented. He's an amazing writer. Every time I collaborate with anyone I feel like it's the best thing I've ever done. Whenever I collaborate, it lifts me."
