Reba McEntire Breaks Down In Tears On ‘The Voice’ After Contestant Ruby Leigh Covers Her Song ‘You Lie’: ‘Bawling’

McEntire then took a moment to wipe her tears away with a tissue. She added: "The best thing you can do is connect with the person when you’re singing, and you definitely do it."

The camera then moved to show fellow coach Gwen Stefani with tears in her eyes. McEntire acknowledged this, adding:  "Gwen and I are bawling." Leigh's performance also left coach Niall Horan amazed, as he couldn't help but express his admiration for her display.

"There hasn’t been a time that you’ve performed on this show where I haven’t gotten goosebumps. That was special," the "This Town" singer said.

He went on: "The way you sold that story and did it in Ruby’s way. I loved that you were looking over at Reba for approval. It was a really cute moment between coach and singer."

And the praise didn't stop there! McEntire also sweetly commended Leigh's cover of her song in a post on her Instagram Story. "Oh, my gosh, for Ruby to make Gwen and me both cry — she’s 16 years old and singing my song in front of me and doing as well as she did, she’s a superstar," she said in a video for her 2.5 million followers.      

This season, Leigh has made it to the top three singers on Team Reba, along with Jacquie Roar and Jordan Rainer. Notably, Rainer also wowed McEntire during the musical competition show's initial blind auditions with her version of McEntire's 1990 song "Fancy," also off Rumor Has It.

Numerous viewers of The Voice on X (formerly Twitter) persistently highlight the exceptional talents of this season's contenders, while also expressing their apprehension over the daunting task that they will face in selecting the ultimate winner!
