Blake Shelton is an award-winning country star, a judge on The Voice, husband to country artist Miranda Lambert, super prankster, and heavy drinker. Check out all the facts on Shelton, his new album, his bromance with Adam Levine, and all the reasons why we can’t get enough of him.
1. Shelton and The Voice Co-Star Adam Levine Have a Bromance
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have formed a bromance over their years together on The Voice. They’ve formed a brotherly bond where they love each other, but love even more to pick on each other. This season, especially, they’ve been making fun of each other and going against each other in the “blind auditions.” The two love playing practical jokes on each other. Shelton even posted Levine’s phone number on Twitter. Check out some of the tweets leading up to the infamous post below:
.@adamlevine… I just found the craziest thing in my phone!!! Your PERSONAL cell phone number… hope I'm not stupid enough to tweet it out…
— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) April 28, 2014
Ya'll! @adamlevine doesn't think I will actually tweet out his personal cell number… he's flirting with danger….

And, of course, the piece de resistance:

Of course, after receiving thousands of phone calls, texts, and voice mails, Levine had to retaliate. Live on The Voice, Shelton watched as Levine had a nice bunch of manure dumped on his beautiful truck.

2. Miranda Lambert And Shelton Have Dodged Divorce Rumors for Years

Country couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have often been plagued by cheating and divorce rumors, but the couple always seem to be in love and keep their relationship going strong. In the past, Shelton has laughed off rumors spread in the tabloids, telling CBS:
I honestly do love it. I just know, to have that kind of coverage, if I’m popular enough they want to put me and Miranda on that stuff — that’s awesome. I have an album coming out! Put my album right next to it and pick it up.
In 2013, Lambert told the media that it’s been tough at times to balance each of their successful careers with their marriage, but stated:
Like I always say, my mom said to my dad, ‘Divorce is not an option.’ So we really love each other and have a real marriage outside of all of this. When this is all said and done, we will be drinking a beer together on a front porch somewhere, reminiscing about the good old days. That’s what I’m happy about.
3. Drinking Is a Hobby of Shelton’s
One thing Blake Shelton is known for and even loved for is his passion for drinking alcohol. He often jokes about his drinking on The Voice, as he sips on alcohol in his cup on the show. Giuliana Rancic once conducted sat down with the judges from The Voice, and found hard alcohol in Shelton’s cup during their early morning interview. It was pretty funny. The reason so many people love Shelton is that he’s carefree and does what he wants. Check out the above video of an intoxicated Shelton telling the Westboro Baptist Church to blow him.
Now, @blakeshelton be honest!! Is there vodka in that Starbucks cup? Cause I'm pretty sure you don't drink water… pic.twitter.com/0rAB1dvLXN

4. His New Album Is “Bringing Back The Sunshine
“Bringing Back the Sunshine,” out September 30, 2014, is Shelton’s new album. Shelton told USA Today about the sound he’s going for with his album, saying:
When life goes so fast, if you just pause for a minute and look back, you go, ‘Man, I got very far away from what I used to sound like.’ You should do whatever you need to do as an artist to push yourself. For me, I want to sing all kinds of songs. It’s been 13 years since my first album came out. It just felt like time to throw back to that sound.

5. Blake Shelton Has Won Three Times on The Voice
One thing that Shelton uses to lure in contestants during the blind auditions is the fact that he’s won the show three times already. His three winners were Jermaine Paul, Cassadee Pope, and Danielle Bradbery.
