Blake Shelton should be on cloud nine after celebrating his 49th birthday on Wednesday, but one person has put a damper on his mood.
The "Texas" singer took to social media to express his sadness over his fellow country star Luke Bryan after he appeared to forget his special day.
Forgetful friends
Calling out Luke for failing to wish him a happy birthday, Blake wrote on his Story: "Thank you for all my happy birthday wishes! I love yall!
"I'm kinda bummed though @lukebryan is the only of my friends that hasn't reached out to me today. He'll probably only do it now after he sees this."

"Thanks again everybody. I still haven't heard from Luke.. He's probably just busy today. @lukebryan," he wrote.

Taking to his Instagram Story Wednesday night, Luke quipped: "Happy birthday to everyone in the world today except @blakeshelton. Clearly you need to lay off the beers. ha."

One person who made sure to publicly shout-out the birthday boy was Blake's wife, Gwen Stefani.

Gwen and Blake met on The Voice in 2014 and tied the knot in Oklahoma in July 2021.
Their intimate wedding, which was officiated by Carson Daly, featured a "very small" guest list following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

"It was the perfect amount of people. It was so intimate. It was so exactly what it needed to be," she continued.
Blake later revealed that the couple wrote their own vows – and his included singing his single, "We Can Reach The Stars".
The couple chose a four-tiered wedding cake covered with white icing, which Gwen jokingly pointed out looked exactly the same as the one in her music video for "Simple Kind of Life" back in 2000.

"When you're in love and have truly aligned values, nobody can get to us," she said.
"You can say whatever you want to say about our relationship – I mean, a week ago we were getting divorced again or something. It's just lies. The truth is the truth, and we know what that is."
