Country's King and Queen, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, file for divorce

It's with mixed emotions that I learned of the impending divorce of Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.

Power couple.

On the one hand, they both seem awesome, fun, genuine people. Miranda is one of the leading female vocalists in country music, a role that's become more important now that the charts are dominated by Country Bros. Blake is one of those country bros, but he's got an authentic country vibe that embraces novelty songs much the way George Jones used to. He's also the face of a whole segment of people via his job on The Voice.  And both of them seem like they know how to party. All in all, sounds like a perfect match, and it's sad that it's over.
