Justin Moore is taking advantage of touring with Blake Shelton on the Well Lit & Amplified Tour to watch the show and pick up a few tips from the ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee. While Justin is learning about headlining sold out crowds from Blake, he won’t be taking any cues from Blake’s sometimes-risque tweets.

“It seems like every time I tweet like him, I get in trouble,” Justin said. “So I kind of steer clear of it. I’ve threatened to not do it ever. But it’s weird, ‘cause to us we’re just normal people.
