Niall Horan Wins Country Artist Over Reba McEntire on ‘The Voice’

Kayleigh Clark is making bold moves.

During the Monday, Sept. 29 episode of The Voice, Clark impressed the coaches with her blind audition to Sugarland’s “Stay” — and received a four-chair turn.

After her audition, coaches Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg began their hopeful pleas to get Clark, 20, on their respective teams.

“Absolutely incredible. I love your song choice. You sang it beautifully and I would love to have you on my team as a fellow country singer. You did a wonderful job and I am very proud of you,” the “I’m a Survivor” singer, 70, said.

Then Bublé, 50, said he turned because he could see “the goosebumps on Niall Horan’s arms.”

“I love country music dearly. I love it so much that I’ve been telling Reba that I’m gonna go to Nashville and make my country record. I know it sounds weird,” the Canadian crooner said.

He added of McEntire, “Anyway, I’d love if you’d even considered me — even though you have literally the queen. The greatest of all time.”

The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper noted that he turned first and quoted a line from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

“There’s a friend of mine named Ricky Bobby who says, ‘Either you’re first or you’re last,'” Snoop, 53, said. “Taking a chance with me would be doing something different. I would give you the room to grow. And I will also assist you and coach you and give you information to help you become the artist that you are.”

Horan, 32, told Clark that she has a “really unique” voice with a “Carrie Underwood style that will really pierce through.”

“I can guarantee I don’t even have to ask this question but you write songs. I can always tell by someone who knows how to portray a feeling. So I would love to work with you,” he said.

When it was time for Clark to make her decision, she stalled for a moment, and then addressed the country star.

“Miss Reba I love you so much. I have looked up to you for my whole entire life — but I think I’m going to have to go with Niall,” she said, later adding that she chose Horan because “a lot of country people are going to go with Reba.”

Horan was in complete shock with her decision.

“Four-chair champion is well and truly back,” Horan said in a confessional. “Kayleigh is one of those undeniable voices. It’s so clean, it’s so pure. I stole a country music artist off the queen of country. I don’t know how it happened but I’m so glad she’s on Team Niall.”

In her own confessional, McEntire said she was “shocked” by Clark’s decision.

“Nobody is staying with their genres. They’re coming for the country artists because country artists do very well on The Voice. Very smart but I gotta get my game up,” she said.

The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. All episodes are available to stream the following day on Peacock.
