The singer – who recently opened up about his secret to slimming down, "The Divorce Diet" – had his Twitter followers in stitches a day before his big news. In a series of hilarious tweets, he seemed to be setting the record straight about reports linking him to fellow The Voice coach Gwen Stefani, who recently announced the end of her own marriage.
After first tweeting, "The stuff I read about myself blows my mind," he added: "I literally just got back from FAR northern Quebecchasing caribou and now read about all the crazy stuff I’ve been doinglately?!! #WTF?!"
Pointing out that his words are often taken out of context he wrote: "Just watch and see howthese tweets I just sent get spun… This calls for a drink."

One fan commented: "@blakeshelton That’s called being a celebrity!! No matter whatyou do they’ll turn it around so you’re the bad guy!! #teamblake." In response, the handsome 39-year-old tweeted back, "I’m not a celebrity… I’m a country singer!!!" punctuated with a laughing emoji.
