Singer Gwen Stefani surprised concertgoers in Dieppe, N.B., on Saturday night.
Stefani’s husband, country star Blake Shelton, headlined YQM Country Music Festival’s Saturday night show.
Other acts that performed during the two-day festival included Florida Georgia Line, Dean Brody and Brett Young, but Stefani was not expected to perform.
Stefani, the former lead singer of the rock band No Doubt, took the stage and sang the 1996 hit “Don’t Speak” as well as Shelton’s "Happy Anywhere" single.
This isn’t the first time this summer the couple surprised country music fans. Stefani also performed during Shelton’s Calgary Stampede concert last month.
After Saturday night’s show, the couple stopped to sign autographs and take a photo with a young fan.
Fans also bid them farewell as they boarded a plane to leave New Brunswick.
The pair, who worked together on the reality TV show "The Voice," were married in Oklahoma in July 2021.
