Blake Shelton Wins 3rd Annual Nash Music Madness Championship

Blake Shelton Wins 3rd Annual Nash Music Madness Championship

In honor of college basketball’s craziest month, I created a bracket with 16 of the hottest acts in country music. I seeded them based on the strength of their current “season,” which ran from the ACM Awards in April 2016 to the Grammy Awards in February 2017.

After more than 20,000 votes were cast during the competition, one man reigned supreme: Blake Shelton.

Blake defeated Maren Morris, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood in Rounds 1, 2 and 3, and then he ran away with the championship by besting Dolly Parton in the Finals by more than 2,000 votes.

In addition to his role as a coach on The Voice, Blake’s accomplishments this past season include:

Congrats on the win, Blake. And thanks to everyone who voted over the past month.
