Fans are convinced Gwen is leaving The Voice

The premiere of Shop to Drop on Today has sparked speculation among fans that Gwen might be silently exiting The Voice. 

This speculation follows recent episodes where Gwen faced backlash over her team selections. She saved BIAS and Kara Tenae and stole Stee from fellow coach John Legend, 44.

Some viewers expressed concerns on social media platforms, suggesting Gwen appeared hesitant in her choices and might feel her time on the show is limited.

Criticism extended to Gwen's overall team performance, with viewers noting off-pitch moments and questioning her coaching decisions. "Gwen's team is the weakest. She swears she knows what she is doing with these singers, and it's clear she doesn't," one viewer commented. 

Another added, "After this knockout, I wouldn’t blame Gwen for not coming back as a coach… Heck, if prob just go ahead and not finish the season."

The calls for Gwen's firing from The Voice have intensified in recent weeks, especially over her indecisive judging style.

During episodes where judges had to make tough decisions about team members, Gwen's apparent difficulty in choosing was met with frustration from some viewers. One critic stated, "Sick of Gwen never making a choice, didn't miss her at all."

Gwen's return to The Voice in Season 24 came after a break from the show. Her husband, Blake Shelton, 47, announced his departure from The Voice in October 2022, a decision he had been considering for years. 

He was replaced by country legend Reba McEntire, 68. During a recent episode, guest judge Wynonna Judd took a jab at Gwen while talking to Reba, highlighting the competitive nature of the show's coaching dynamics.
