Congrats to Blake Shelton who walked away with the People’s Choice Award for The Country Artist of 2021.

Blake thanked everyone by saying, “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. best fans in the world!!! This award means so much to me because it came from y’all. Love y’all and thank you People’s Choice Awards!!!!”

This is Blake’s 4th consecutive win in the category The Country Artist of (Insert Year Here), which was the format that was adopted at 44th Annual People’s Choice Awards in 2018.

Before that, the people had the choice for voting for Favorite Male Country Artist, Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Group.

In 2017, at the 43rd Annual People’s Choice Awards Blake won Favorite Male Country Artist, Carrie Underwood won Favorite Female Country Artist and Little Big Town won Favorite Country Group.

At the 42nd People’s Choice Awards Blake won the Favorite Male Country Artist for the first time, taking over for Hunter Hayes who won it the year before.
