When it’s the last night of a big tour, the artists always live it up to celebrate how far they’ve come during the run. Blake Shelton held true to the standard and brought out the best of the best during his final performance on the Country Music Freaks Tour.

Not only was Shelton and his team lit for the last hurrah of the tour, but the fans showed up in full force as well by selling out the Philadelphia venue. First on the bill to impress the crowd was Carly Pearce, who shined in a fierce floral dress and sparkly heel combo. She performed her No. 1 smash, “Every Little Thing,” after toasting to the one who broke her heart and inspired her to reach her top radio success.

“I love you country music fans, this is all I ever wanted to do in the whole world and because of you I get to do it and I am going to stand right here and sing the song that changed my life,” she announced. “AND to the guy who broke my heart…THANK YOU!”

Brett Eldredge stepped up to the plate next, and brought a special pal up to amp the audience up: his dog, Edgar. Making sure the interaction between himself and the fans was at its highest level, Eldredge entertained the masses with songs like “Somethin’ I’m Good at” and his current single, “The Long Way.” He even saved up enough energy to sneak into the crowd incognito during Shelton’s set to get the full final experience.

Speaking of Shelton’s time on stage, he powered through almost 30 songs in a matter of about two hours with the help of his Country Music Freaks friends. Of course, the singer went through his big tracks like “God Gave Me You” and “Gonna,” but it was his song duel against Trace Adkins that pumped the St. Patrick’s Day crowd up. The two guys busted out “Every Light in the House is On” and “You’re Gonna Miss This” for a massive East Coast sing-a-long.

Inviting his opening acts up for a couple duets, Pearce gave her best vocals on “Lonely Tonight” during the energetic set. Eldredge capitalized on Shelton’s behalf as they finished off the night with “All About Tonight” with roars following their departure.

While the Country Music Freaks Tour has now come to a close, fans can see Shelton do his thing at being a coach on The Voice during new episodes of the show airing Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
