“Michael, Tanner [Frick] left the competition after rehearsals. You still have Cameron [Wright] and Sloane [Simon],” Daly said, noting Frick had “left the competition after rehearsals.”

Frick didn’t reveal the reason for his exit but shared a video on TikTok singing and captioned the post, “Aint nobody want me anyway.”

The singer auditioned for the coaches, singing Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know,” which made the four coaches turn their chairs around. Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani were captivated by Frick’s voice and battled to have him on their team.

Frick chose to go with McEntire, and heading into the Battles round of the competition, the singing hopeful performed Jelly Roll’s “Need a Favor” against fellow country singer Tate Renner. McEntire chose Renner to continue on her team, but Bublé came in to save him from being eliminated and to join his team.

“Tanner Frick was a huge win for me,” Bublé said. “That’s a former four-chair turn and a piece of the puzzle that I didn’t have.”

Bublé continued, “I needed that country singer and now I feel like I’m completely in the game. It’s a brave new world we’re about to head into.”

Watch Tanner perform on The Voice in the video below.
