Hi! I just think it was tone deaf and out of touch with what is happening in this country. I wouldn’t say I was “offended” in the sense that I had to cry about it or something. People are allowed to criticize dumb things

No, he is comparing how the love he receives from his soon to be wife makes him feel incredible and that it is enough to lift a man's spirit. #BlakeShelton
