During the blind auditions in the second episode of season 25, a significant moment occurred when Reba McEntire strategically used her one block of the season to prevent Dan + Shay from recruiting contestant Donny Van Slee to their team.The initial shot that sparked the unfolding drama in the latest season of the competition.

Following the incident, the frustration was palpable as Dan Smyers, 36, and Shay Mooney, 32, expressed their disappointment towards the Queen of Country.

"I mean, Reba blocked us, the new guys. How rude. I thought she was a nice lady," Shay said. "You started the battle. So, guess what? Buckle up, Reba. We're coming for you."

Without hesitation, the pair quickly sought retribution.

Just moments after McEntire had turned around in her chair to watch the next act, Karen Waldrup, she was blocked by the duo. "Vengeance is sweet!" Shay exclaimed with a gleeful grin.

Dan couldn't help but taunt, "Man, blocked the Queen of Country Music. Put that one on the résumé," as the "Does He Love" diva simmered with frustration in her seat.

In response to the recent conflicts, coach John Legend chimed in, suggesting tensions were escalating. "I think we have a little war starting."

An insider report from the National Enquirer shed light on the escalating feud between Reba McEntire and the new coaching pair. Initially wary of having two country music stars as coaches, the Voice executives are now thrilled with the drama unfolding, making it essential for fans to watch it.

Per the outlet, there were initial concerns that Dan and Shay might simply defer to Reba. However, things have taken a surprising turn, as the three are now engaging in heated conflicts with each other.
