When a fan confused Blake Shelton for Craig Morgan, he stormed into a barber shop demanding an “emergency makeover” — and the footage is pure gold.LC
Long before he became one of country music’s biggest stars and a household name on The Voice, Blake Shelton found himself in a hilarious identity crisis that fans still can’t stop laughing about.
According to footage from years ago, Shelton once stormed into a barber’s chair demanding what he called an “emergency makeover.” The reason? A fan had mistaken him for fellow country singer Craig Morgan, and Shelton wasn’t about to let it slide.
With cameras rolling, Shelton barked at his stylist:
“Make me look more successful than Craig Morgan!”
The shop immediately erupted in laughter, with Shelton’s own stylist nearly unable to cut his hair through the giggles. Ever the jokester, Shelton leaned into the moment, exaggerating his frustration while fans watching knew it was all in good fun.
The clip has since become a throwback gem for country music fans, reminding everyone that Shelton’s sharp wit and self-deprecating humor didn’t start with his television career—it’s been part of him from the very beginning.
For fans of Blake and Craig Morgan alike, the playful jab is classic Shelton: lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek, and rooted in the kind of humor that has made him one of the genre’s most relatable stars.
Today, as Shelton continues to sell out arenas and enjoy his post-Voice chapter, this barber shop moment lives on as proof that success hasn’t changed him—he’s still the same down-to-earth prankster who doesn’t mind poking fun at himself, or at a friendly rival.
As one fan commented when the clip resurfaced online:
“Only Blake Shelton could turn a haircut into comedy gold.”
