Gwen Stefani made a dazzling return to the American Music Awards stage Monday night, lighting up the arena with a powerhouse medley of her greatest hits. From “Hollaback Girl” to “Rich Girl,” the pop-punk queen had the crowd on its feet, proving she’s still got the fire that made her a global icon. But one of the most heart-melting moments came offstage—her husband, country star Blake Shelton, was seen standing and clapping with pride, his smile never leaving his face. As Gwen blew a kiss toward the audience, fans couldn’t help but notice it was aimed straight at Blake.

“@amas memories ….Looking forward to performing again this year,” she captioned the clip.

Stefani also shared a video from her rehearsals for the big performance, which was set to her 2006 track, “Wind It Up.”
