Blake Shelton Absent From CMA Awards; Best Guess Is He’s Still in a Tree Stand

Posted on November 3, 2016

Last night’s golden anniversary celebration may have been the biggest CMA Awards Show of all-time, but one of country music’s biggest stars was noticeably absent: Blake Shelton.

Sure, he wasn’t nominated in any categories this year, but that didn’t stop artists like Jason Aldean, Jennifer Nettles and Martina McBride from attending and performing.

Our best guess—based on the tweet below—is that Blake is still in a tree stand, where he will remain until Nov. 7. Hopefully he brought a fresh supply of Gildan undies.
