She recently was awarded “Best Country Album” by the Grammy Awards for her current album, Platinum.

Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Country Albums charts.

Joining the ranks of the Grand Ole Opry in 2010, Shelton has earned a host of awards and nominations throughout his career. He returns as a coach for his eighth season of NBC’s Emmy Award-winning reality competition series, The Voice, this spring after celebrating his fourth win as a coach last season with contestant Craig Wayne Boyd.
