John Legend has another victory to celebrate over fellow "Voice" judge Blake Shelton -- he is officially People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2019.

The announcement came during Tuesday's night's episode of "The Voice," which was certainly made memorable thanks to the shenanigans pulled by Shelton, 2017's Sexiest Man Alive.

John Legend was named People magazine's "sexiest man alive" for its Nov. 25, 2019, issue.

The country star happily passed over his crown, if the crown was a glittery pair of booty shorts with "VEGOTSMA" emblazoned on the back, that is.

"So ya'll already came into the show with an EGOT," began Blake as he clutched the pair of Daisy Dukes in hand, "and then you won 'The Voice,' so it became a VEGOT." He then handed the glittery shorts over to the stone-faced Legend and proclaimed, "And now, you have ... a VEGOTSMA," as the audience and other judges howled with laughter.

Unfortunately for Blake, his creative announcement was outdone by Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen.

The model gloated on Twitter, "My secret is out. I have fulfilled my dream of having b---- @people's sexiest man alive!! an honor!!!!!"

"Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title. I’m [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me," he told People when accepting his new title.
