Clarkson v. Shelton feud continues

It’s no surprise to loyal fans of The Voice that Kelly Clarkson’s return to the show would cause another level of drama.

Kelly and veteran coach, Blake Shelton have a longtime on-screen feud.

Ahead of the premiere, Blake tweeted a compilation of the two shading one another and wrote: “@KellyClarkson will always be my biggest rival.”

Chance’s iconic hat explained

Chance the Rapper is rarely seen without his iconic “3” hat.

He’s carrying on the tradition with his team by gifting each member one of his iconic hats.

The cap has not only become a part of the rapper’s identity, but it also has deep meaning.

Chance told GQ he began wearing caps in school and after they were consistently confiscated by teachers, it became a “rebellion” for him to sport the look.

The number comes from his third and most well-known project, his album Coloring Book.

It also symbolizes the holy trinity and his family composed of himself, his daughter, and his partner.

Fan reactions to Blake Shelton’s exit

Fans of the show have previously shared their distress at the thought of Blake Shelton leaving the show.

One person wrote: “The Voice is unquestionably the best competition show.

“When Adam Levine left the show, I mourned; but if Blake Shelton leaves, I’ll stop watching. HE is The Voice!”

A second one commented: “Blake Shelton is the best thing that ever happen on The Voice, wouldn’t watch it if he leaves.”

And a third one shared: “Please don’t leave The Voice, Blake! It would be boring without you! You make the show!”

Blake Shelton continued: “I’ve made lifelong bonds with Carson and every single one my fellow coaches over the years, including my wife, Gwen Stefani.

“ I have to give a huge shout out to the singers – the ‘Voices’ who come on this stage season after season and amaze us with their talent and a special thanks to those who chose me to be their coach. 

“Lastly, it’s about y’all, the fans, who watch and support these artists, us coaches and everyone at The Voice chasing their dreams.

“It wouldn’t happen without you!” 

More on Blake Shelton’s departure

In a statement, Blake Shelton said it felt like the right time to move on.

He said: “I’ve been wrestling with this for a while and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from The Voice after season 23.

“This show has changed my life in every way for the better, and it will always feel like home to me. 

“It’s been a hell of a ride over these 12 years of chair turns, and I want to thank everyone at The Voice from NBC, every producer, the writers, musicians, crew and catering people, you are the best.

“It takes a lot of work, passion, and adult beverages (Ha!) to pull off a live show twice a week. ”

Blake Shelton’s last season

In October 2022, Blake Shelton confirmed that season 23 of The Voice will be his last.

The country singer is the last of the show’s coaches to appear on every edition since the series premiered in 2011.

Chance The Rapper and former One Direction member Niall Horan will join Kelly Clarkson, in her ninth season.

Host Carson Daly will continue in his role as host which he has held for all seasons so far.
