Dan + Shay Reveal That Blake Shelton Loves To “Kiss” His Friends And “Might Be The Longest Hugger”

Dan + Shay revealed in a recent Taste of Country Nights interview that Blake Shelton is famously affectionate, known for giving long hugs and kissing his friends. When the duo was asked who is the best hugger in country music, Shay Mooney was quick to answer Shelton, saying, “He might be the longest hugger — he’s a lingerer.” Dan Smyers chimed in to add that Shelton will “kiss you on the top of your head, too.” Mooney agreed, describing a time when Shelton “spins me around backwards, then I’m just nuzzled in there. Then he looks down at my head and kisses me. It’s awesome.” Smyers shared that they even have a photo capturing one of Shelton’s kisses, with Mooney joking that he’s “traumatized” by the pic. The duo’s anecdotes highlight Shelton’s affectionate nature, which fans have seen in public moments like his playful kisses with Adam Levine on The Voice, and a sweet post-Thanksgiving kiss on the cheek with his wife Gwen Stefani that she recently shared on social media.
