In November 2017, People Magazine sparked widespread internet debate by crowning country singer Blake Shelton as the 'Sexiest Man Alive.' The choice was met with immediate skepticism and a wave of memes from fans who believed other celebrities were more deserving of the title. The meme template usually features the magazine cover alongside reaction images or sarcastic captions highlighting the public's shock. It has since become a staple format for mocking questionable media awards, subjective opinions, or simply poking fun at Shelton’s unexpected victory in the world of high fashion and Hollywood heartthrobs.
