Blake Shelton People’s Choice Awards’ Country Artist Of 2021

Blake Shelton was crowned ‘The Country Artist of 2021’ at the People’s Choice Awards on December 7 (US time) for the third consecutive year, beating Carrie Underwood, Dan + Shay, Kacey Musgraves, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert.

Shelton performed his current single, Come Back As A Country Boy, before accepting his award.

He said, "I swear, the longer I go on the more I realise that all these award shows, the fan-voted awards are the ones that mean the most to me."

In addition, Shelton’s The Voice was voted ‘The Competition Show of 2021’.

Some of the aforementioned artists were also up for other non-country genre specific awards. Dan + Shay were nominated for ‘Group of 2021’, Combs for ‘Male Artist of the Year’, and Musgraves’ star-crossed received a nod for ‘Album of 2021.’

Shelton has taken home seven-of-eighteen People’s Choice Award nominations since 2012. As well as his ‘Country Artist’ wins, he was awarded ‘Favourite Male Country Artist’ in years 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, as well as ‘Favourite Album’ in 2017 for If I’m Honest.

The fan-voted awards show took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and honoured nominees across 40 wide-ranging categories. Host Kenan Thompson introduced guests from the best of music, movies, TV and social media stardom. Ahead of the event, Kim Kardashian and Dwayne Johnson were already confirmed as the winners of this year’s ‘Fashion Icon’ and ‘People’s Champion’ awards, respectively.
