On Tuesday's show, Ariana crossed wires with the show's veteran judge Blake, after seeing through his strategy to win her over.
At the beginning of the show, he said: "Anything I can help Ariana, I feel like I should. She's the new coach and I want Ariana fans on my side."

Blake's plan came into place when he persuaded contestant Raquel Trinidad to choose Ariana as her coach, after three of the four judges turned around for her. "I don't want to see you end up with two coaches that are jaded, that have been here for a while and proven season after season they can't win,"
Blake had told Raquel. John saw through Blake's tricks though, saying: "I think Blake is sucking up to Ariana. I think Blake is always up to his old tricks. You can't trust him."
Gwen Stefani's husband did this again with contestant, Hailey Mia, by telling her that he thought Ariana would be the best coach for her. "I see what's happening and I'm flattered. But I'm not dumb, I'm not falling for it," Ariana told Blake.

Unfortunately, the country star didn't get the same treatment when he was looking for help from Ariana to win over Jeremy Rosado. It was between Blake and Kelly, and Ariana told him: "I think Kelly might be the right fit," much to the dismay of Blake.
The award-winning star wasn't happy, telling the Dangerous Woman hitmaker: "I can’t believe Ariana just did that after having her back and trying to help her. It was a slap in the face. The friendship is over."
