The Voice fans were thrown for quite the loop on Monday, when it was subtly revealed that Tanner Frick mysteriously left the show.
The show kicked off its 3-Way Knockout round on the new episode, with each judge – Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani and Michael Buble – pitting three singers against each other.
Buble went last, though host Carson Daly revealed that, ‘Tanner left the competition after rehearsals,’ revealing that only Sloane Simon and Cameron Wright would compete in the Knockout.
Hours before the episode, Frick, 26, cryptically posted a video on Instagram and TikTok, which includes audio for a new song, captioned, ‘Ain’t nobody want me anyway.’
Fans were quite stunned at the reveal, taking to X along with Frick’s Instagram and TikTok posts to share their thoughts and ask why he left the show, which he has yet to answer publicly quite yet.
