It\u2019s official:\u00a0Gwen Stefani\u00a0and\u00a0Blake Shelton\u00a0have musical chemistry on top of romantic chemistry.<\/p>\n

The couple took to\u00a0The Voice<\/em>\u00a0stage on Monday\u2019s episode to perform their duet \u201cGo Ahead and Break My Heart\u201d for the first time on air.<\/p>\n

Stefani, 46, looked beautiful in a sheer, mermaid-style Jaime Lee gown which featured sparkling jewels throughout her dress while Shelton, 39, looked dapper in a white dress shirt, black vest, color coordinated pants and tie.<\/p>\n

After the performance, the country star exclusively opened up to PEOPLE about his collaboration with his girlfriend. \u201cI guess I\u2019m nervous in a new kind of way,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m excited because this is a song Gwen and I feel so close to for obvious reasons. It\u2019s as brutally honest and straightforward as you can be in a love song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Blake<\/p>\n

If Shelton had nerves when he took the stage, fans and viewers couldn\u2019t notice because all eyes were on the couple\u2019s stage presence. \u201cWhen they were introduced to the stage, Blake gently touched her lower back, helping her up the stairs,\u201d an onlooker tells PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

And that was only the beginning of their PDA-packed performance, which took two takes to film.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment he saw her, he couldn\u2019t help but smile,\u201d the eyewitness says about the first run. \u201cThe two shared plenty of sweet, intimate moments during their performance, barely breaking eye contact. When it came to singing, you could tell they were very much in the moment. Once the song finished, Blake embraced Gwen with a hug and a long kiss on the forehead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n

Although the second take was \u201cvery similar\u201d to the first, there was no forehead kiss at the end, just a hug. And unfortunately for viewers at home, the second take was the one that aired on NBC.<\/p>\n

Before the show, Shelton opened up to PEOPLE about the \u201cserious insecurities\u201d he had over performing the duet.<\/p>\n
