YouTube/Variety

During a ceremony honoring his closest friend, the country crooner got choked up speaking about how great of a person Adam Levine was. 

Many celebrities were in attendance during today’s (Friday, Feb 10th) ceremony that saw Levine be honored with his very own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, but it was his dear friend and best guy pal, Blake Shelton‘s speech that melted everyone’s heart. 

Taking to the podium during the event today, you can hear Shelton’s girlfriend tease him from the sideline and tell him to “Be nice!” to Levine. And Shelton was nothing but nice. 

In one of the sweetest moments between these two close friends, Shelton took a break from the normal comedy routine and bantering they show on set of The Voice and he truly poured his heart out recognizing Levine for his great achievements and incredible friendship. 

“Imagine my disappointment when I found out this wasn’t a roast,” Shelton joked in the very beginning of his speech before opening up about his dear friend. 

If you would have told me that this guy would end up being one of my best friends, I would have called you crazy,” he said reminiscing on the very first time they met and getting a little choked up. “But I have seen a lot of ups and downs, and I have never had a more honest and loyal friend than Adam Levine through my personal journey.”

“We all know he is a huge star with music and movies and television, but I am happy to see him get this, because he is my friend and nobody is more shocked — I mean proud — than I am that he is going to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame forever. Congratulations, brother,” he sweetly concluded. “I love you.”

The incredible moment was ended with a hug between the two before Shelton exited the stage, but it’s something that surely all of their friends and fans will remember forever.
