During blind auditions, 15-year-old Olivia Eden enters the stage and sings Niall Horan‘s “This Town,” earning Horan’s immediate smile. Horan was fascinated by the end of the first stanza and hit his buzzer to express an interest in having Eden join his team.
Just seconds after, new coach Reba McEntire, who was a “mega mentor” in Season 23 and worked as a “battle advisor” for Team Blake during the inaugural season, pressed her buzzer as well. The song had John Legend and Gwen Stefani fascinated, but they didn’t turn their chairs.
After Eden’s performance, Horan immediately commented on the New Jersey native’s song, saying “great song choice — I know that one well.”
Eden then introduced herself and revealed her age, which shocked Legend and Stefani.
“Congratulations, you have two wonderful coaches,” Legend told Eden. “One of them is possibly the favorite since you picked their song … I think your tone is really beautiful — it has this charm to it that’s gonna serve you really well on this show.”
Stefani similarly complimented Eden’s “yodel” and assured her she’s gonna “go far.”
“The Voice” premieres Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.
