It’s safe to say that Blake Shelton is having a pretty good week.

Not only does the Oklahoma native have the No.1 song on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart with “A Guy With A Girl,” he also took home two People’s Choice Awards Wednesday evening (Jan. 18). Shelton was named Favorite Male Country Artist and received the trophy for the all-genre category of Favorite Album for his latest release, If I’m Honest.

Shelton is making history as the first country artist to ever win Favorite Album, and that’s something he’s extremely proud of.

“I look at that category of album of the year, and I know that somewhere out there, there’s someone going, ‘I mean, how did he win album of the year? Like, isn’t that just a country album full of stereotypical drinking and cheating and tailgates,'” he shared during his acceptance speech. “And to that person, I say, you’re (expletive) right it is!”

He also took time to thank his girlfriend from the stage. “Thank you to the hottest date here tonight, Gwen Stefani,” he gushed.

Taking the stage during the live broadcast once again, Shelton also performed his brand new single, “Every Time I Hear That Song.”

Carrie Underwood and Little Big Town were also big winners at last night’s People’s Choice Awards, taking home the PCAs for Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Group, respectively.
