Singer Blake Shelton helped a Texas schoolteacher purchase needed items for her classroom this year on Tuesday.

Blake Shelton, 44, won the Internet on Tuesday, September 1, when the country music superstar helped a Texas schoolteacher purchase needed items for her classroom this year. And he did it after having "a few drinks," as The Voice judge explained to his 20 odd million Twitter followers.

It all started on the social network when an educator named Mrs. Gressett tagged Shelton with a request. Noting that she teaches at a "low-income school," the instructor asked the country star if he'd be willing to help her clear her Amazon wish list of supplies by sharing the link on social media.

"Ah h*ll," Shelton responded. "I've had a few drinks. I'll take care of it for ya."

"@blakeshelton PLEASE!! I teach at a low income school in Texas. I have never had my list cleared. Could you at least share. It would mean everything to me to #clearthelist. TX loves you!" Gressett wrote on August 31, along with a link to her Amazon wish list for her classroom.

That led to the wish list being cleared — that is, all of the items on it got purchased. "Thank you so much!" the teacher responded. "I appreciate it more than you know!"

The teacher even got a bit emotional after the help from Shelton:

"When you have to step out of your classroom crying because you found out @blakeshelton shared your list!" Mrs. Gressett said. "You are the good in the world! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the TX panhandle! I'm eternally grateful! Thank you everyone!"
