“I hope that’s not too far down the road,” Shelton admitted. “Ten years sounds like way too long to me. I’d like to see that sooner than later.”
While Shelton revealed that he looked forward to living outside of the spotlight, he quickly expressed how “fortunate” he was to have such a prosperous career. Shelton explained:
“I mean, we’ve both pretty much taken it to the limit as far as our careers go and touring and now the television thing. It’s been fortunate to accomplish a lot of things. But, hopefully, at some point, we get a chance to live some life.”
