In the latest episode of The Voice, which aired on October 28th, 2025, contestant Aubrey Nicole's performance struck a deep chord with her coach, country music legend Reba McEntire. Aubrey, who is part of Reba's team, performed the emotional ballad "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" by Martina McBride, dedicating the song to her cancer-survivor father.
The powerful lyrics and Aubrey's heartfelt delivery clearly resonated with Reba, who took a moment to collect herself before providing feedback. Reba revealed that the song held special meaning for her, as it reminded her of the loss of her own stepson, Brandon Blackstock, who had passed away from cancer just last year at the age of 48.
Visibly moved, Reba thanked her fellow coach Snoop Dogg for bringing her tissues, as she struggled to hold back tears. "I lost my oldest son, because he did not win with cancer," Reba said, her voice breaking. "So that was a real reminder that life goes on, and we sing songs about it, so we can remember the ones that are around us that we love so much and that we lean on at times like this."
The touching moment between Reba and Aubrey underscored the power of music to evoke deep emotions and personal experiences, even on a reality competition show like The Voice.
