I haven’t come across many people who think that Blake Shelton becoming PEOPLE‘s Sexiest Man of the Year was a great decision. It is a random choice at best, but Shelton has chosen to address the criticism in a funny way. The country music star filmed a video of himself reading a few hate tweets aloud, definitely checking off the “humor” box on my list of what makes a man sexy.
PEOPLE reports that Shelton recorded the video for his Twitter account while backstage at The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Including an onscreen hashtag that read “Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful,” Shelton joked in the clip, “I wanted to look out there on social media and see what’s being said out there by my supportive people.”
Thank y’all for the supportive words! #donthatemebecauseimbeautiful pic.twitter.com/k5H4smmDSl

From the idea that PEOPLE’s choice has finally united the world in this divisive time to the comparison of Shelton to a dad in those drug commercials, I have to admit that the hate tweets are pretty funny. You also have to give credit to Shelton for playing around with the public’s opinion. Although the majority already seems to be ready for next year’s Sexiest Man, he still has some true fans out there that are pleased with the news, as well as supporters reminding us that sexiness is not always on the outside.
Beauty is not always just skin deep. Every human is a masterpiece sculpted in a unique way at the time of our creation. We all deserve a moment where our unique outer & inner beauty is acknowledged. This is Blake Shelton’s time so let him enjoy that moment, hopefully you’re next. pic.twitter.com/MGABXshC1t
