The then-teenage singer was cut after a lukewarm performance for the quarterfinals in favor of Erin Willett.
Shelton admitted that it was a very tough call.
It did not work out that way, and it was the end of RaeLynn on the show.
It was not the end of RaeLynn, though.
Herdebut album “Wildhorse” topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chartin 2017.
And the hitmaker dropped her sophomore album “Baytown” just last month.
Interestingly, her relationship with Shelton didn’t end with her tenure on “The Voice,” either.
And now, they reunited for a duet for “Baytown.”
Their song “Why I Got A Truck” is a country anthem through and through.
A demo of it landed on the final track list for her sophomore album.
The power couple sent “a huge thing of flowers,” RaeLynn gushed.
“Gwen and Blake have been so sweet about her.”
Back in 2019, RaeLynn revealed that she and Shelton talked frequently.
As in once a week or so.
“He always texts me,” the singer-songwriter toldPeople.
“He’s about as concerned as I am about my career.
He’s always excited any time I have a success.
Anytime I’ve ever had questions, he’s always helped me through it.”
She toldPeoplethat they share one of those rare relationships that you know will be lifelong.
