Blake Shelton took a crack at hosting the other night at the ACMs.
If you ask us and some others, though, he overstepped a few boundaries with a few of his jokes. The frustrating part of it was that he WASN’T that bad as a host, which confuses us as to why he’d have to stoop down low with a few of his lines.
Other than the jab at LeAnn Rimes and the circumstances around her marriages, we’re referring to Jake Gyllenhaal being called a gay man, all because he is no longer with Taylor Swift, and spinning it as if it would be a bad thing if it were true!
Here’s the joke:
“Don’t make jokes about Taylor Swift. If you make her mad, she’ll write a song about you. She writes songs about guys who break up with her. Which I don’t understand in the first place. She’s beautiful, she’s talented, she’s sweet. What in the world was Jake Gyllenhaal thinking anyway?
Wait a minute, he was in Brokeback Mountain.”
You’re right, he could have said much more offensive things at the sake of the same joke, but we just think it’s in bad taste regardless of severity.
We’re a little disappointed, Blake. You did fine without that kind of stuff!
How do U feel he did?
