Country music is known for its lively collaborations, but Lauren Alaina and Lainey Wilson have taken things to a whole new level with their latest release, Thicc As Thieves. The song, an upbeat and playful anthem celebrating their “ASSets,” has quickly gained traction—not just for its catchy melody, but also for the viral dance challenge that came with it.
Alaina and Wilson took to social media to unveil the dance, and as fans eagerly jumped on board, one unexpected participant stole the spotlight: Blake Shelton. The country superstar and former The Voice coach is always up for a good laugh, and this time, he put his best moves on display in a video that left fans—and fellow artists—either in stitches or secondhand embarrassment.
Shelton shared the video on Instagram with a hilariously reluctant caption: “Can’t believe I got talked into this.” His attempt at the routine was, let’s just say, less than polished, but that only made it funnier. His longtime friend and fellow country star Luke Bryan wasted no time in roasting him, commenting, “I didn’t think anything could be worse than your singing until now.”
Alaina, always one for a good comeback, quickly responded to Luke with a playful warning: “You’re next.” The callout couldn’t be more fitting, considering Thicc As Thieves actually samples Bryan’s 2011 hit Country Girl (Shake It for Me)—a song that helped cement his reputation for, well, shaking his ass on stage. Given that Bryan has spent much of his career dancing around in tight jeans, it seems only fair that he join in on the fun.
As for Blake, his comedic timing remains as sharp as ever. While his music might not be everyone’s cup of tea, his ability to poke fun at himself and bring humor to the genre is undeniable. Fans flooded the comments section, some praising his dance attempt while others jokingly pleaded for him to never do it again.
Whether you love it or cringe at it, one thing is certain—Thicc As Thieves has sparked a movement, both musically and on the dance floor. Now, all eyes are on Luke Bryan to see if he’ll accept Alaina’s challenge and bust out some moves of his own. Stay tuned—this might just be the country dance-off we never knew we needed!
Check out Blake’s moves for yourself and decide—hilarious or horrifying?
