Niall Horan Playfully Trolls Blake Shelton Ahead of The Road Premiere

As Blake Shelton's new singing competition show The Road prepares to make its debut on October 19, 2025, his former colleagues from The Voice are still finding ways to poke fun at the country music star. Two years after Shelton turned his Big Red Chair for the last time on The Voice, he is now getting trolled by his old friends, with Niall Horan surprisingly being the one to start the friendly banter.

Horan, a former One Direction member who served as a coach on The Voice, has always been considered a "son" to Shelton. However, in a recent Instagram video, the ex-boy-bander couldn't resist taking a shot at his mentor's country singing skills. Horan tried his hand at covering Thomas Rhett's song "Old Tricks," which features Shelton, and even threw in a playful yodel at the end.
