Reba McEntire made a striking debut on Season 24 of "The Voice," vying for singer Jordan Rainer from Oklahoma. Rainer impressed the coaches with her fiery rendition of McEntire's own song, "Fancy," leading to a lively competition between McEntire, Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, and John Legend. Horan playfully interrupted their conversation with messages praising himself, but McEntire playfully blocked his view with a sparkly scepter, declaring herself the queen.
In the end, Jordan Rainer chose to join Team Reba, despite Horan's efforts. Horan humorously remarked, "I’m really up against it, now that I have to deal with the queen of country."
Other notable moments from the episode included teen vocalist Sophia Hoffman impressing both McEntire and Horan with her soulful performance, eventually choosing Team Niall. Gwen Stefani, despite her country connections through her marriage to Blake Shelton, lost country singer Jackson Snelling to McEntire, who proudly emphasized her extensive country music success.
John Legend also had his moment when New Jersey singer Mara Justine wowed the coaches with her rendition of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." However, her decision on which coach to choose will be revealed in the next episode after an entertaining impromptu duet between Legend and Horan.
