Gwen Stefani Had Four Minutes During Grammy Break To Nail First Live Music Video In History

The 58th Grammy Awards is really one historic event for the music industry because, not only were records made and broken; Gwen Stefani also dared to shoot the first-ever live music video during the commercial break.

You can probably imagine the kind of planning and preparation that Stefani and Director Sophie Mueller went through to pull off the three minutes and 48 second video. If you cannot, here's a clue: 11 different stages, seven costume changes and 250 people involved during the shoot. That's all to make sure that the entire shoot goes without a hitch because the entire thing only really had four minutes of commercial break from start to finish to work with.

Gwen Stefani, being the awesome performer she is, along with very well-prepared tech hands, a very capable director whom she had worked with for 20 years and the support and sponsorship of Target, was able to nail it and make music video history.

Stefani definitely looks like she had fun in the video with Gwen Stefani look-alike dancers, roller blade rink- including the tumble- and up to the finale where she sat on a platform as it was raised and confetti shot up and applause followed. No description can actually give justice to the amazing production so just watch it for yourself below.

This was one the most amazing experiences of my life. Thank you Target. #MakeMeLikeYou #MoreMusic

Another amazing and very Gwen Stefani thing is that, despite the short period of time they had to work with, she was able to give a shout out to Blake Shelton, her current partner who is unmistakably the muse for the song. Why is it so unmistakable? Well that's because one of the stages set up as a bar had the name "Blake's" in neon on the wall.

Just what does Blake Shelton feel about the whole thing? One word: Awesome.

"This was one the most amazing experiences of my life. Thank you Target. #MakeMeLikeYou #MoreMusic," Stefani wrote on her Facebook page.
