Watch More Than 20 Country Stars Unite for PSA to Combat Imposters on Social Media

More than 20 country stars united for a PSA to combat imposters on social media. Spearheaded by Blake Shelton—and posted on his YouTube page—the PSA includes appearances by Keith Urban, Lindsay Ell, Hunter Hayes, Kelly Clarkson, Maren Morris, Rascal Flatts, Dustin Lynch, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi, Jake Owen, Travis Denning, Brett Young, Maggie Rose, Trace Adkins, Old Dominion, Cale Dodds, Cole Swindell and Michael Ray.

“Hey y’all, I’m Blake Shelton and I want to talk to you about something that’s important: imposters on social media,” says Blake. “So we want to make sure you know how to spot the signs of the fake accounts. Like the ones called ‘Blakey Shelton’—that’s bullshit.”

The gist of the PSA: make sure to look for the blue verified check mark next to the name of the country star on their social media accounts and never give out any of your private information. These guys and gals don’t want—or need—you to send them any money.

Watch Blake and his crew in action.
