In a shocking turn of events, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have announced their split after Gwen discovered that the song Blake allegedly wrote for her on her birthday was not actually written by Blake himself, but by a custom songwriting service.
Sources close to the couple say that Gwen was devastated to learn that the heartfelt lyrics that brought her to tears were not the result of Blake's own lyrical talent, but rather the work of a team of anonymous songwriters.
"Blake always told me he was a songwriter," Gwen reportedly said to friends. "I had no idea that he was outsourcing his songwriting for me to some website called Bring My Song To Life."
Blake, for his part, has yet to comment on the situation. However, insiders say that he is equally upset by the breakup and is now feeling the full weight of the consequences of his decision to use a songwriting service for his beloved Gwen.
"It's really sad," said a source close to Blake. "He thought he was doing something sweet and romantic by giving Gwen a custom song, but now he's lost the love of his life over it."
As news of the breakup spreads, fans of the couple have taken to social media to express their shock and disappointment.
"First COVID, now this," wrote one Twitter user. "Can 2023 get any worse?"
Others have expressed their support for Gwen, saying that she deserves better than a man who can't even write his own love songs for her.
At the end of the day, it seems that the lesson here is clear: as a songwriter, if you're going to write a song for your significant other, you'd better do it yourself or risk losing everything you hold dear.
As for Blake and Gwen, we wish them both the best in their future endeavors and hope that they can someday find a way to reconcile. In the meantime, we'll be eagerly awaiting Blake's next hit single, "I Miss You (But I Had Someone Else Write This Song)."
At Bring My Song To Life, discretion is of the utmost importance to us, so it is somewhat of a mystery how Gwen ultimately found out that her special birthday song gift wasn’t written by Blake himself.
If you are a songwriter, we at Bring My Song To Life will always recommend you to write songs for your significant other yourself. It’s just the right thing to do just like eating fries with ketchup (seriously, who eats fries with mayonnaise?). However, if you aren’t a talented songwriter and Country Music superstar, you are more than welcome to hire Bring My Song To Life to create an absolutely stunning, personalized song as a gift for your significant other, family member or work colleague.
Just in case it wasn't already clear, we should note that this entire article is just an elaborate April Fool's joke. There is no evidence that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have broken up over a custom songwriting service, and we have no reason to believe that the couple's relationship is anything other than strong and happy. We hope you enjoyed this bit of lighthearted humor and wish you all a very happy April Fool's Day!
