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!”
