BLAKE Shelton has resurfaced on NBC.
But the former judge on The Voice was the one receiving the accolades this time, as opposed to giving them out.

Blake was named The Social Country Star of 2023 at the People’s Choice Country Awards, which aired on the peacock network.
The 47-year-old was on-hand to accept the award, even if his wife, Gwen Stefani, sat the show out.
She’s busy with the just-started new season of The Voice.
Blake didn’t seem too impressed by his big win, or what he did to earn it, and seemed to slam the award in his speech.
“I moved to Nashville in 1994, and man I had a lot of dreams,” he said on stage. “This was not one of them.
“I don’t even know what this means, but if the fans want me to have it, I’m damn well going to put it on my mantel.”
Fans seemed to agree with Blake’s cynicism.
“What the heck is social award?” one fan commented on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Crazy every week a new award show.”
Another pondered: “Remember when you got awards for talent?”
While a third noted: “I’m sure he was going ‘wtf?’ but held himself in check, lol.”
FARMER BLAKE
Blake has plenty of time to admire his new award on his mantle, now that he is officially a former judge.
The only thing is judging these days is what to do next on his massive farmland.
Blake and Gwen own a 1,300-acre Oklahoma ranch that the couple have been fixing up.

Last month, Blake shared a video on his Instagram showing off the tractor he keeps on the farm.
While recording a selfie video, he flaunted the heavy machinery while yelling: “It is time to prepare the fall food plots!”
In the next clip, the God’s Country singer sat in his tractor while plowing through his 1,300-acre ranch.
Blake said: “I’m sure there’s a lot of really smart people out there that are saying ‘But Blake it’s too soon to be preparing your fall food plots.’ And To those people I say… so?”
KEEPING IT REAL
Blake may be off the air for now, but if fans have their way, he will be back, and bringing Gwen along for the ride.
Fans pleaded with them to get their own reality TV show, after Gwen shared a simple video of the two making a blackberry pie.
In the Instagram video, Gwen showed off her colorful robe and carried her dog around before digging her long fingernails into the crust.
Blake made silly faces at the camera as he watched his wife mix the ingredients together.
After the end of the short vid, the True Babe singer placed the pie into the hot oven.
She mentioned her husband picked the wild blackberries from their ranch.
In the comments section, fans pitched a reality show of the couple “living the country life.”
One fan said: “Green Acres, I’m telling you, Gwen. Reality show with you and Blake.”
Another added: “I would definitely watch!”
A third person agreed and said: “I’m here for it! Someone needs to hire you two! It’s a brilliant idea!”
