Country music star Blake Shelton has been awarded People Magazine's 2017 Sexiest Man Alive. This is not a joke. I swear to God I thought it was, because why? Why would he win? All we know him from is The Voice, where contestants consistently pick working with Adam Levine (who was awarded the same title in 2013) over him.

Twitter was NOT having the news, completely tearing Blake to shreds. Here are some of the best and most outrageous responses to Blake Shelton being awarded People’s Sexiest Man Alive.
