“I wanted to look at social media and see what’s being said out there by my supportive people, so I just wanted to read you some of my favorite mean posts,” he says in a video recorded backstage of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“Woke up this morning to news that Blake Shelton is the Sexiest Man Alive. RIP every sexy man in the world who died in the ‘Great Sexy Plague of 2017’ overnight. You will be missed,” one person wrote.

No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani also opened up about what makes Shelton so sexy in an interview with PEOPLE.

“He’s perfect for it. Somebody that is funny and has a sense of humor is sexy — that’s the No. 1 thing. It’s interesting because I don’t think any of those things like beauty or sexy or whatever what you want to describe humans is necessarily a physical thing that people are attracted to,” said Stefani. “It’s all about the heart, and he has that big ol’ gigantic heart in there, so he’s quite an attractive human. I’m not the only one that thinks it!”
