Adam Levine Gives Hilarious Response To Blake Shelton’s The Voice Exit
Adam Levine seems to be the only person who can joke about Blake Shelton leaving The Voice.
Blake is preparing to depart the NBC singing competition after the current 23rd season. ET spoke with his favorite frenemy and former fellow coach, Adam Levine, outside the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday.
When asked about his reaction, the Maroon 5 frontman joked about Blake Shelton’s The Voice exit, “It’s about time!”
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton sat beside each other in The Voice’s spinning coaches’ chairs for 16 seasons. However, the Maroon 5 vocalist left the show in 2019.

The Voice Judges Will Miss Blake Shelton
The news outlet also spoke with the season 23 coaches, including ahead of the premiere. Kelly and the newcomers all shared how excited they were to be on the show for The Cowboy’s last go-round.
“I texted him,” Kelly shared, saying she didn’t want to miss her rival’s last season. However, the talk show host insisted that she won’t let nostalgia affect her competitive nature.
“If [Blake] wins, I am very happy for him, because that is super cool to win on the last season and he’s literally the show, from its conception,” she conceded. “But, like, I’m not, like, rooting for him to win. I’ll be happy for him if he does, but I’m obviously trying to win myself.”
The new coaches, Niall and Chance, also said they were ready to work and win against the Team Blake dynasty.
“It’s been awesome,” Chance, the rapper, said of joining the show. “Kelly’s very, very sweet, very nice to me. And Blake is… here.”
It remains to be seen who will become the next Adam Levine and Blake Shelton after Blake exits the show. Aside from his competitive nature, Blake Shelton’s exit from The Voice will be felt. The country singer embodied the show, and his presence will be missed.
