Surprising Artist Exit on THE VOICE Season 19 Live Shows Week 1 Recap

After “The Voice” coaches reconvened for the first Live Show of season 19, it was down to business. That is, the reveal of which artist who competed in last week’s Four-Way-Knockout would be joining the Top 16, making it the Top 17. When the artists came out onto the stage to hear their fates, noticeably one artist was missing.

Team Kelly’s Ryan Gallagher was not on stage along with his fellow artist all vying for the same spot – Julia Cooper (Team Legend), Taryn Papa (Team Blake), Larriah Jackson (Team Gwen). The, host Carson Daly announced that Ryan had to “drop out of the competition.” The news traveled quickly as fans of the show speculated and worried that perhaps this exit was related to his mother’s battle with COVID . Gallagher also took to Twitter and Instagram to reassure fans that everyone is fine. And that he’d fill us all in later.

On the bright side, Team’s Blake Taryn Papa was announced that she was the winner of the Four-Way-Knockout. Her reaction was more surprised and shocked than anyone. She, then quickly left the stage to prepare for her first Live performance later in the show. This meant Blake’s Team had the edge of having five artists over everyone else’s four members on their Teams.

The Top 17 performed live tonight starting with Team Kelly.
