The Truth About Blake Shelton's Iconic Mullet

After a few years of stardom, Blake Shelton cut his mullet, opting for a shorter hairstyle. When his first No.1 hit reached the 20-year mark earlier in 2021, the "Austin" singer talked to People about advice he would love to give the younger version of himself two decades ago. "I would have told that kid, 'Hey man, the mullet's not as cool as you think it is.'" Not surprisingly, the singer also had some additional advice for himself that many 40-somethings would probably love to tell their younger selves. "I would have told myself to get more rest back then. When I started I was 24 and lived life to the max back then. It's probably why I ran out of battery so soon."

These days, Shelton spends time as a coach on "The Voice" and in Oklahoma on his Ten Point Ranch with his wife, Gwen Stefani. Wide Open Country reported the couple tied the knot on July 3, 2021, on the stunning 1,300-acre property in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. While he didn't sport a mullet at their wedding, in 2020, his then-girlfriend supported Shelton regrowing his iconic mullet. Read on to find out what happened last year.
