The coaches on The Voice were ready to fight within the first few minutes of the Season 26 premiere but fans were not pleased. Contestant Jake was the first singer up to impress the four mentors, Gwen Stefani , Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg , and Michael Bublé this season. Within the first seconds of his performance, Snoop slapped his button, and his fellow coaches quickly followed suit, but Stefani made a bold move against McEntire while she slapped her button.
Gwen Stefani’s eye-watering Voice salary as singer ‘picked show’ over band tour Blake Shelton ditched his mullet as fans mistook him for country star The No Doubt singer blocked the country star, which meant she was prevented from adding Jake to her team. Fans on X, formerly Twitter, shared their opinions about the blocking. One fan questioned: "Who thought of the idea of a block button? as another wrote: "Haven't watched the voice in years and this block button??? Oh that's messy.
" Other fans simply couldn't believe Stefani had blocked McEntire so quickly, with one saying: "gwen blocking reba asap" as another added: "@reba knew @gwenstefani blocked her! #TheVoice." Other viewers said: "Gwen already blocking," "I don't know if I'd have the stones to block Reba. I'm just sayin" and "Reba just got blocked.
" Yet another laughed: "Gwen's not playin haha." When McEntire explained to the crowd and Jake what Stefani did, the alternative singer got up and her only response was doing push ups on McEntire's Blocked name. DO.
