Country Music’s Hottest Male Singers: Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Kane Brown and More

From Blake Shelton and Sam Hunt to Keith Urban and Kane Brown, the country music genre has a lot of sexy men who make Us swoon. Whether they’re wearing skin-tight jeans and cowboy boots or dressed up for a red carpet, these crooners make fans do a serious double take … even if they don’t agree on their hotness level. Three years after Shelton was named the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2017, he admitted that he didn’t see what all the fuss was about. "I remember I called my manager [who said], 'They want to put you as the Sexiest Man Alive,' And I'm like, 'Wh— what?!'” he said on the Gayle King Grammy Special in January 2020. “I remember when that magazine came out, you know, of course there's gonna be blowback and hate. But I remember, I was like, 'Man, they're right.' Like, I don't disagree with any of this that I'm hearin.’” Shelton joked: “Come on, let's face it — they screwed up.” Scroll down to see which sexy male singers are winning over the country music world:

Zach Bryan

Bryan made a splash in 2022 with the release of his third album, American Heartbreak, which was his first record with a major label. He continued to captivate country fans with his Grammy-nominated hit off the album, “Something in the Orange.” His romance with Barstool Sports’ Brianna LaPaglia made headlines in July 2023 and one month later, Bryan released his self-titled fourth album.

Luke Combs

He's beautiful crazy! The “Kind of Love We Make” crooner — who tied the knot with wife Nicole Combs in August 2020 — has had fans swooning with his kind eyes and friendly demeanor since the debut of his first single, “Hurricane,” in 2016.

Blake Shelton

As Shelton's wife Gwen Stefani told Andy Cohen in September 2019, “Blake is literally a unicorn. Like, anywhere he goes, people are just attracted to him. He’s such an incredible talent.”

Keith Urban

Aussie crooner and former American Idol judge Urban — who always takes his outfits to wife Nicole Kidman for approval — says it's on stage where he feels the sexiest: "When I'm playing for thousands of people, I give it my everything."

Sam Hunt

Don’t tell the “Body Like a Back Road” singer that he’s a heartthrob. “I’m even uncomfortable with the word ‘star,’” he said in an interview with the Bobby Bones Show in October 2019. “Even hearing that makes me cringe a little bit.” In April 2017, Hunt wed Hannah Lee Fowler, who he’d dated on and off since 2008. She was the inspiration for his 2014 debut album, Montevallo. “I spent a lot of time talking to her about the songs and asking, 'What do you think about this?’” he told Billboard in 2015. “Her perspective was a powerful part of me being able to connect with a female audience, not just a male audience. Respect for women was a very important part of my upbringing. … The women in my life demanded that from me."

Kane Brown

Lauren Alaina’s former school friend auditioned for both American Idol and The X Factor, landing a spot on the second show in 2013 but dropping out after producers wanted to include him in a boy band. Instead, he built a following by posting covers of country songs online. In 2015, a teaser for his own song, “Used to Love You Sober,” got more than 11 million views on social media and led to him landing a recording contract. Brown married Katelyn Jae in October that year and the couple welcomed a daughter, Kingsley Rose, a year later. “I’m going to try and do everything that I can to be the best that I can be,” he told Us ahead of his baby’s birth.

Thomas Rhett

The “Die a Happy Man” singer is happiest when he’s spending time at home with wife Lauren, his childhood sweetheart, and their four daughters, Willa, Ada James, Lennon and Lillie, who they welcomed in November 2021. “In a perfect world, she would want five [kids],” the singer told Us in January 2018. “I would be good with three, so we’ll probably have five.”

Jason Aldean

The country crooner’s romance with now-wife Brittany Kerr started on a controversial note when the “You Make It Easy” singer was caught kissing the former American Idol contestant while still married to Jessica Ussery, with whom he shares two kids. They subsequently split and he married Kerr in 2015, welcoming son Memphis and daughter Navy. “I think we both probably hated the way it started,” he admitted on the “Velvet’s Edge” podcast in November 2019. “But at the end of the day, I wouldn’t change the outcome of it at all.”

Brad Paisley

He's got the boyish good looks and a sense of humor to match! Having co-hosted the CMA Awards from 2008 to 2018, Paisley has proven himself to be country's court jester by faking a feud with Kenny Rogers, twerking with the cast of Duck Dynasty, and professing his love to Miss Piggy. "I'm definitely looking for the funny angle at any given moment," he tells Us. "I think humor fixes everything."

Eric Church

"I'm very aggressive and intense onstage," admits hard-rocking Church, who was kicked off of Rascal Flatts' tour in '06 for playing too loud and too long, only to be replaced by a bright-eyed rookie named Taylor Swift.

Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley

These Florida Georgia Line hunks don't mind if you call 'em bro-country. After all, that's just how they roll! "If bro-country means 30,000 people show up to watch us, then bro-country it is!" says Kelly, who loves to get tattooed, down Fireball Whisky before a show, and party with Hubbard and tourmates like Luke Bryan in the back of a semi.

Cole Swindell

The “Break Up in the End” singer has been notoriously private of his love life, telling The Boot in March 2018, “I’m really happy with where I am in life right now, but along the way, there were relationships that ended. … I know what it’s like to get hurt, and, unfortunately, I’ve also hurt some people. That’s what keeps me guarded. I don’t want to hurt anybody, and that affects my relationships to this day.” He briefly dated professional wrestler Barbie Blank in 2019, stepping out together at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April, but they split three months later.

Hunter Hayes

This blonde babe doesn't need much to stay fit: He just logs hours on tour! "I jump a lot during my shows," the five-time Grammy nominee, who once considered himself the "awkward" kid in high school, tells Us. "That's enough cardio for me."

Jake Owen

Owen maintains his hot bod by regularly hitting the treadmill but would much rather be outside doing more adrenaline-pumping activities. "If someone said, 'Let's skydive!' I'd say, 'Yeah!' because I've never done it." Since becoming a dad in 2012, Owen has learned to balance his wild ways with tamer days, telling Us a day on the water with his family is his "ideal day."

Chris Lane

The “Big, Big Plans” singer started his career as the frontman of the Chris Lane Band, before going solo. In 2018, he began dating Bachelor alum Lauren Bushnell, and they got engaged in June 2019. The pair tied the knot in Nashville in October 2019. “I definitely know that he’s the person I want to do life with forever,” Bushnell told Us exclusively ahead of their nuptials. “We have so much fun together and it’s been by far the easiest, most natural relationship I’ve ever been in. I always used to kind of laugh, not laugh at people, but I didn’t really understand when people said, ‘When you know, you know.’ I thought they just said that ‘cause it sounded cute and it sounded romantic, but now I actually know what they’re talking about ‘cause you just kind of know.”

Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney

The Grammy-winning pair known as Dan + Shay started writing together the day after they met in Nashville, Tennessee, in December 2012. Their 2016 song “From the Ground Up” was inspired by their grandparents’ enduring love stories. “Our grandparents were married for over 65 years, and they made it work no matter what came their way,” Smyers told Rolling Stone in August 2016. The pair collaborated with Justin Bieber on “10,000 Hours,” which was released just days after the pop idol married Hailey Baldwin for the second time. "'10,000 Hours' is about spending a lifetime learning and loving your significant other,” Smyers said. “This song is extra special to Shay and I because we wrote it about our beautiful wives, Abby and Hannah. And it was fun to collaborate with our good buddy Justin Bieber on this because he’s in the same boat and just married his wife Hailey. This is one of our favorite songs we’ve ever written.”

Luke Bryan

"Hands come from everywhere!" cracks the Georgia cutie with boy-next-door looks, whose team has instituted a "no-groping" policy at his concert meet-and-greets. The singer's posterior has become his most famous asset thanks to a viral video of his rump-shakin' moves and a Twitter feed devoted to his derriere: @LukeBryanBooty. "It's flattering," he says. "I've been working, shaping the butt for many years to earn that."

Tim McGraw

McGraw man candy! Faith Hill's hubby looks extra hot on stage after dropping 40 pounds through grueling circuit workouts with his band while on tour. "He looks so good in those jeans," Hill says of the dad of three, who admits to liking every workout except Pilates. "I tried it once with my wife's trainer," he tells Us. "I couldn't walk for a week! I'll never do that again."

Kip Moore

The "Wild Ones" are all about him! The country hottie — who released his debut album, Up All Night, in 2012 — has since made his mark on the scene with steamy singles like "I'm To Blame" and "Young Love." With his bulging biceps and boyish face, Moore has gained more than radio acclaim: he has millions of fans to account for.

Dierks Bentley

He's a Riser, alright! The hunky country crooner gained sudden fame after releasing hit tunes like 2014's "Riser" and "Drunk on a Plane." The handsome Phoenix native also famously opened for Miranda Lambert while touring together that same year.
