"Blake Shelton had the crew in stiches on the southern California set of his latest round of Pizza Hut ads. The irreverent spots hawking the brand&amp;apos;s new bacon and cheese-stuffed crust pizza are Pure BS &amp;#x2014; to nick the title of the singer&amp;apos;s 2007 album.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I saw Taylor Swift this week,&amp;quot; he told Rolling Stone Country during a break in filming. &amp;quot;She said, &amp;apos;You&amp;apos;re so funny in those Pizza Hut commercials!&amp;apos; And I said, &amp;apos;Yeah, Taylor. That was my goal all along as a kid: to make it to this level in country music so I could sell the most amount of pizzas possible&amp;#x2026; reach the biggest audience of pizzas that I possibly can.&amp;quot;\r\nWhen we caught up with Shelton, he&amp;apos;d had only one day off in the last 10 days. He admits to spending it on the couch. The commercial shoot was shoehorned into an already-packed late summer schedule that includes his current Ten Times Crazier Tour 2014, and taping the seventh season of The Voice.\r\nHis autumn calendar doesn&amp;apos;t look any easier. The Voice debuts September 22nd, and his 11th studio album,&amp;#xA0;Bringing Back the Sunshine,&amp;#xA0;streets September 30th. And after a string of dates that included Madison Square Garden and Wrigley Field &amp;#x2014; where he played to 40,000 fans &amp;#x2014; his tour wraps up at the iconic Hollywood Bowl on October 4th.\r\n&amp;quot;Yes, it&amp;apos;s definitely going to be a big fall,&amp;quot; he says ruefully. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s funny, because every year for the past 10 years, I&amp;apos;ve had this phone call with my manager where I say, &amp;apos;Hey man, this fall&amp;#x2026; I&amp;apos;m not kidding this time, I&amp;apos;m not doing it. I don&amp;apos;t care what it is. I&amp;apos;m tired, I want to protect my fall &amp;#x2014; that&amp;apos;s when deer season starts. I just want to be home.&amp;apos; And here we go again.&amp;quot;\r\nBut Shelton isn&amp;apos;t looking this gift-horse in the mouth. He&amp;apos;d just rather it have antlers.\r\n&amp;quot;At least I&amp;apos;m at this point in my life where I&amp;apos;m only doing things I&amp;apos;m excited about and believe in,&amp;quot; he shares, &amp;quot;because to be on this side of my career, I don&amp;apos;t have to beat my head against the wall anymore, and that&amp;apos;s fun.&amp;quot;\r\nThe conversation was interrupted when someone on the set yelled, &amp;quot;Rolling!&amp;quot; People started tip-toeing around the stage, but that didn&amp;apos;t necessarily mean we needed to be quiet.\r\n&amp;quot;They may just be filming a pizza laying there,&amp;quot; Shelton quipped. &amp;quot;I hear he&amp;apos;s got a line.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
