NEED TO KNOW

• Blake Shelton called out a fan for wearing a Luke Bryan t-shirt to one of his recent Las Vegas residency shows

• "That guy's an idiot," exclaimed Shelton in a TikTok video of the moment

• The two musicians are longtime friends with a history of making fun of one another

Watch what you wear to aBlake Sheltonconcert.

In aTikTokvideo shared on Saturday, Jan. 31 from one of 49-year-old the country star's recent residency show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, he called out a fan in the crowd for choosing to wear aLuke Bryant-shirt.

The clip shows Shelton spotting a fan in the crowd, asking what they're wearing and confirming the shirt features Bryan. "You come to my show wearing Luke Bryan s---," he said with a smile. "What's the matter with you?"

"That guy's an idiot," exclaimed Shelton.

The fan laughed and replied, "I love him!"

"Quick, get her some merch on me," said Shelton. "Luke Bryan. You've obviously been to one of his shows, right? You ever notice that he always does the,y'all sing along?"

"It's because he's too drunk to remember the words to his own songs," added the "Don't Mississippi" artist. "Drunk and high. Put that on YouTube. Put it on your Instagram."

The two musicians are longtime friends with a history of making fun of one another. In an October 2025 interview with CMT, Bryan joked thattheir rivalry is the only thing that keeps him goingafter the host noted he holds more No. 1 hits than Shelton.

"That's the only reason that I'm still in the game of country music, to stay ahead," Bryan quipped. "I thought he was retiring — he's back putting songs out. It's not the deal we had."

In an April 2025 appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live!, Bryan revealed he was once mistaken for Shelton. "My gas station that I live nearby... one of the attendants that works the cash register [mistook] me for Blake Shelton. That has been my worst thing in the neighborhood," he said at the time.

"He was so convinced. He's like, 'You're Blake Shelton. Tell me about being Blake Shelton.' He goes, 'Do you get that a lot?' I said, 'Not much,' " he continued.

"The guy looked and me, and he's like, 'You are Blake Shelton's doppelgänger... and he goes, 'Could you imagine what it would be like to have Blake Shelton's money?'" Bryan recalled, before joking:"Oh, what it must be like."

Sarah Michelle Gellar feared being 'Star Search' mean judge. It passed

LOS ANGELES —"Star Search"judgeSarah Michelle Gellardoes not throw around top scores willy-nilly onNetflix's rebooted talent competition.

While fellow judgesJelly RollandChrissy Teigenstarted tossing out perfect five-star marks judging the live show that premiered Jan. 20, the"Cruel Intentions"star, 48, held out.

"I don't take five stars lightly. I waited to give that five-star," Gellar tells USA TODAY. "I actually felt badly because both other judges had given fives and I hadn't. It was like 'Am I just the mean judge?'"

Gellar didn't set aSimon Cowell-esque streakon "Star Search," which streams live Tuesdays and Wednesdays (9 ET/6 PT) through the Feb. 17 finale.

'Star Search' revival is hereHow to watch, vote. See judges, cast.

The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actress bestowed her first five-star rating to the last performer on the Jan. 21 Episode 2 — singer Bear Bailey, whose version of "Hard Fought Hallelujah" brought Jelly Roll (the song's co-writer) to tears.

"When Bear came on stage, I was like, 'That's why I waited!' Because that was a five-star performance," says Gellar. "That performance was the first one that I'd seen this season where I was like, 'Oh, he's ready to win this right now.'"

Bear was eliminated in Episode 4, but Gellar can rely on decades of "Star Search" experience to spot talent. She was a diehard fan of the OG "Star Search," famously hosted by Ed McMahon, during the syndicated show's run from 1983 to 1995 that featured young up-and-coming stars like Beyoncé, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

"Britney Spears, I always remember for some reason. I could always pinpoint her look, the song. But there were so many, like the comedians that I wasn't supposed to watch," says Gellar, who didn't even know her good friend and"All My Children"co-star Lindsay Price also appeared on "Star Search" until researching the show.

"And I was watching the acting category the other day, and there was a contestant namedMitzi Kapture,who was later on 'Silk Stockings,'" says Gellar. "There are people that you don't even realize were on the show."

How Sarah Michelle Gellar was nearly on the original 'Star Search'

Not Gellar, however. The child actress who starred in 1980s Burger King commercials auditioned unsuccessfully for the TV talent show.

"In the original 'Star Search,' there was an acting category where they'd have two performers start the scene, and then two performers end the scene," says Gellar. "I think I was five. But I'd been working for a while by then. And alas, I didn't make it."

The Emmy-nominated star of "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus," Sydney Sweeney, has made a name for herself in prestige television, on silver screens in horror flicks or romantic comedies and as a fashion darling on red carpets like the Met Gala.

Sydney Sweeney photos: Look back at the 'Euphoria' star's best looks, career

The Emmy-nominated star of"Euphoria"and"The White Lotus," Sydney Sweeney, has made a name for herself in prestige television, on silver screens in horror flicks or romantic comedies and as a fashion darling on red carpets like theMet Gala.Scroll through for more photos of her life and career.

The Hollywood vet, who landed her first big role as a teen soap star on "All My Children," eventually found stardom, and even other performers who also had star careers after not making the "Star Search" cut.

"I'm not alone in my club. I've found out that John Legend also did not make it on," says Gellar of Teigen's EGOT-winning husband. "So we have a support group now, and we help each other through the difficult times. But it shows that you can't give up on your dreams. It might take a while, but I wound up on 'Star Search.'"

"The Voice" coach Legend also gave some helpful advice to the judging newbie.

"He said to find your own voice. It has to be authentic," says Gellar, who says the show is unique. "We're looking for a star, not the most talented singer or model or dancer. It's just this combination of things that makes magic."

Gellar has the opportunity to bring out the enchanting sparkle in her outfits and daring heeled boots, despite the potential peril of tripping during live shows.

"It's just fun and silly excuse to wear the things you would never normally wear," says Gellar. "I'm scared every show that I'm going to be the one who falls."

During the live viewing, viewers worldwide can vote for their favorite performers in the global Netflix showcase, a reach that was never possible on the original.

"The viewers are the fourth judge," says Gellar. "I talk to Jelly and Chrissy about this all the time. I was in this industry for a long time before I performed for a worldwide audience. Every contestant on this show has that opportunity. That's huge."
