The sweet family dynamics between Blake and Gwen’s sons didn’t go unnoticed. Comments poured in, with fans noting, “What a cute 🥰 family.

On July 29, Zuma took to the stage at Shelton’s bar, Ole Red, in Tishomingo to show off his musical prowess. Zuma performed a soulful rendition of Zach Bryan’s “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” leaving the public swooning over his voice and his likeness to Shelton.
For his performance, Zuma donned a cowboy get-up that included blue jeans, a striped, long-sleeve shirt, and a black cowboy hat.

“It’s weird to me how much he looks like Blake,” commented a netizen. An admirer swooned, “Wow! Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! I know he has a proud momma!! Hope to see him when I come to Nashville!!”

“Not that his opinion matters, but I’m thinking how salty Gavin probably is about this. Zuma has never looked like him and now he’s more inspired by Blake than him. Lol,” penned a commenter on YouTube.

The performance many marveled at was not the only song the budding musician sang during the show. Footage from another video shared on YouTube shows Zuma serenading the crowd with a song titled “Revival,” which again left the audience impressed.
In response, Blake divulged, “I think for me, is the discovery part of where they’re at […] Because I get to teach ’em the country […] and I love that, you know. Whether it’s music, whether it’s literally […] getting out, getting their hands in the dirt, or […] being out on the ranch.”
