Whether it was through celebratory Tweets after a major award show win – often when they were competing against each other – or surprise appearances at one another's concerts, Lambert and Shelton always seemed thrilled to see one another succeed. This secured their position as one of country's strongest power couples, making it even more heartbreaking for fans when they announced their divorce in July 2015.

He proposed while she was wearing a camo jacket and no makeup; she posted photos of their backyard – it was always easy to imagine Shelton and Lambert as just a regular couple who might invite you over for a cold one and a jam session at any given moment.

You know that couple who falls in love and then promptly forgets that their friends exist? Yup, that's not relevant here. While anyone can send out a quick Tweet telling their fans to check out someone's music, Lambert and Shelton always took their support for their friends and fellow musicians a step further, often recruiting one another for a little bit of assistance in spreading the word.

Lambert is a well-documented animal lover, and her Instagram features more shots of their furry family than, say, selfies.
