Look back at Blake Shelton from his younger days to now throughout his career.
It’s been quite a while since Blake Shelton made his mainstream country music debut in 2001 with the song “Austin.” Despite being his first track, it reached No. 1o on the country music Billboard charts. At the time, Blake was rocking a mullet, which became a signature part of his look in the early days of his career.
Blake’s career skyrocketed to new levels in the 2010s. He became a judge on The Voice, earning him superstardom that he hadn’t experienced before. In the years since, Blake has only gotten bigger. Of course, he’s ditched the mullet since his early years and was even named Sexiest Man Alive by People in 2017.
