And that was just the start as he also won the Entertainer of the Year Award five times. A top name in country music, the singer eventually stepped away from the studio to help judge on<em>\u00a0American Idol<\/em>. Becoming a regular judge on the series, it seemed that not everybody knew who he was when the country star recalled being mistaken for none other than Blake Shelton.<\/p>\n<p>Although two completely different singers, Shelton and\u00a0Bryan\u00a0started their careers in country music around the same time. And many of their songs focused on the love of partying, drinking, women, and trucks. Embracing the country lifestyle, Bryan joked about a time when a person thought he was Shelton.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DHUBSC8yCQE\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Flitaglobal.com&amp;rp=%2Flehieu%2Fidentity-theft-is-not-a-joke-but-for-luke-bryan-it-sure-made-for-one-unforgettable-pit-stop-imagine-pulling-up-to-a-gas-station-only-to-be-mistaken-for-your-buddy-blake-shelton-that%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIw#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2286.5999999046326%2C%22ls%22%3A1771.5%2C%22le%22%3A2283.7999999523163%7D\" height=\"969\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The incident apparently happened when Bryan went fishing with his son.

Wanting to keep the joke going, the singer continued, \u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019m not Blake Shelton.\u2019 He goes, \u2018You gotta get that all the time, right?\u2019 I was like, \u2018No, every now and then I get it.\u2019 He goes, \u2018You\u2019re his doppelganger.
