On October 13, 2025, during the latest episode of The Voice, contestant Austin Gilbert faced off against his fellow Team Bublé member Rob Cole in a Battle Round performance. The two singers delivered a rendition of Blake Shelton's "Honeybee," but in the end, Bublé chose to keep Cole on his team.

McEntire was visibly moved by Gilbert's "enthusiasm, big heart, and gorgeous voice," and she welcomed him to join her team.
Gilbert was overjoyed, dropping to his knees in disbelief as McEntire embraced him. The 70-year-old singer expressed her belief that Gilbert would do well on her team, saying, "I just loved his voice. That's why I wanted to steal him."
With McEntire's support, Gilbert now has a renewed chance to showcase his talents and potentially win the coveted title of The Voice champion. This unexpected turn of events has undoubtedly given the young singer a much-needed boost in his pursuit of his musical dreams.
