PHOTOS: Birthday Boy Blake Shelton Through the Years

Happiest of birthdays to the one and only Blake Shelton!

Of all the many glowing compliments and attributes we could list about the “God’s Country” singer (including but not limited to: talent, good looks, charm, kindness, and humor) perhaps our favorite thing about the superstar is, well–with Shelton, what you see is what you get.

Over the years, through every win and loss, Shelton has remained the same, the same old unpredictable jokester we knew from the very beginning, only he just keeps getting better with age.

In his honor, let’s take a look back at some of our favorite moments throughout the years.
