Blake Shelton is very well known for being fun on Twitter. Back when Twitter first launched, he was one of the first country artists to get on the app and, thanks to his sense of humor (and his penchant for tweeting while drunk) he amassed a huge following.

Today, Blake has 20 million followers on Twitter but his tweets aren't as fun and crazy as they once were and there is a reason for that.

Shelton gets in a bit of trouble when he tweets after he drinks. He joked recently, "When you drink you've got s--- to say, you know. So if I take it off my phone, I can't say it."

While Blake did take the app off his phone, he still tweets, and this morning (4/19) after a great performance on the ACM Awards last night (4/18) in Nashville, he tweeted a bit.

Shelton wrote, "Just felt so damn good to have this band back together to play some country music!!!! Here’s #MinimumWage from last night’s @ACMawards! Watch the full show on
@CBS and @paramountplus! #ACMawards."

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
