"I spent a lot of time [in Nashville] on highs and lows… I went through a really hard time in my life,” the 36-year-old Grammy nominee said, noting that she moved to the country music city “in the middle of a s**t show… But I was lifted up by people who were like, ‘We got you, girl'."Although Lambert didn’t explicitly name her ex, she moved to Nashville in 2015 just as things were coming to an end with Shelton. At the time there were plenty of infidelity rumours (especially as Shelton and Stefani grew closer on The Voice), but neither camp has ever really revealed why the conscious uncoupling happened.[video_embed id='-1']Here’s why Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton aren’t married yet[/video_embed]“I feel like Nashville is somewhere where you can go if you need to be a dreamer and not be judged about it,” Lambert continued, revealing how much the place helped with her healing process. Of course, finding love with her new husband, NYPD officer Brendan McLoughlin, whom Lambert first met on the set of Good Morning America and surprise-married in February of last year, is pretty helpful, too."I don't wanna go down any other road now, I don't wanna love nobody but you" - @gwenstefani and @blakeshelton ❤️#GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/1rME3h84Pn

“It's really good to be genuinely happy. You almost don't realize that you're not until you get there and you're like, ‘Man, I didn't know that there was a level of comfort and happiness out there that existed like that,’” she said.And here the 20,000 or so concert-goers in attendance were probably just expecting a performance of “Dark Bars,” the song that was inspired by Lambert’s split from Shelton. Whether Lambert meant to open up that much or not remains to be seen, as she continues her world tour in Salt Lake City this weekend. Meanwhile, Canadian fans can catch her when she hits up the North in April and May.[video_embed id='1881174']Pam Anderson secretly weds Jon Peters[/video_embed]1 year ❤️.
