Season 26 of *The Voice* kicked off this week with a dynamic new lineup of judges, including musical icons like Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani.
Fans will recognize Reba and Stefani from previous seasons (Reba won Season 25), while Bublé and Snoop Dogg are making their debut. To kick off the season, the judges performed the Eagles’ classic “Heartache Tonight,” setting an energetic tone for the show.
The opening night sparked strong reactions across the board, but Gwen Stefani was caught off guard by the backlash over her outfit.
While the collaborative performance of “Heartache Tonight” received praise, newcomer Snoop Dogg earned particular attention for his smooth vocals and unexpected style, with fans impressed by his singing abilities.
“I didn’t know Snoop could sing?! I know him as a rapper,” one fan remarked. Another commented, “Snoop has a great voice. Very smooth—just like him.”
However, while Snoop basked in compliments, Gwen Stefani faced criticism over her clothing. Many fans took to social media to express their disappointment with her outfit, with some even suggesting it wasn’t age-appropriate.
“Why can Gwen never wear decent clothing? Is this a children’s show?” one user wrote, while another added, “Gwen needs to dress with more class like Reba.”
