The Voice Season 23 Finale: Spoilers and Official Recap of the Night (LIVE UPDATES)
The Voice's Season 23 finale is going to be a huge night. Not only is it a, ya know, finale, it's also Blake Shelton's last-ever episode as a Coach, bringing his 12-year run on the music competition series to an end. Ultimately, the self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. wants to spend more time with the family he shares with his wife, Gwen Stefani.
How to Watch Watch The Voice on NBC and Peacock.
Hours before the show, Host Carson Daly — who also happens to be best friends with Shelton — posted a heartfelt tribute to the country singer in preparation for his departure.
"Today’s just gonna be weird! No other way to put it. For over 12 years I’ve watched the cowboy do his thing on @nbcthevoice & we have laughed & had fun, literally the entire time. Thank you buddy!" he said. "Enjoy your big red chair retirement, you’ve earned it! Now let’s go make a drink! (Bring some ice over from your room, they never gave me any😂) #OneMoreShow."
By the end of the two-hour finale event we'll know exactly who from the Top 5 — Grace West (Team Blake), D. Smooth (Team Kelly), Gina Miles (Team Niall), Sorelle (Team Chance), or NOIVAS (Team Blake) — will follow in Bryce Leatherwood's footsteps as the champion of Season 23. But before we learn the results, fans will be treated to a star-studded night.
