Gwen Stefani and her 15-year-old mentee on The Voice Carter Rubin performed a seasonal duet of “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” for the season 19 finale Tuesday night (Dec. 15).
Stefani’s ornate Christmas tree-like dress complemented Rubin’s velvet green tuxedo for their performance on stage, which transformed into an elf workshop. Her fiancé and fellow coach Blake Shelton’s heart likely skipped as Stefani serenaded him with the verse, “I never thought I’d find a love like this/ But I found forever in that very first kiss/ I wanna thank you, baby/ You make it feel like Christmas.”
“How big are the shoes, ’cause I’ve heard he’s really tall,” Rubin teased Shelton earlier about filling in his shoes for the duet, which the country singer originally sang with Stefani on her 2017 Christmas album of the same name. The couple performed “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” together on The Voice back in 2017.
“I am excited to sing with Carter because he’s so unbelievably talented and he’s gonna make me look really good,” Stefani exclaimed beforehand.
Rubin was crowned the winner of The Voice at the end of the night, scoring a recording contract with Universal Music and $100,000 in prize money for quite possibly the best early Christmas present a young, gifted singer could ask for.
