The Voice crowns Season 23 winner and bids farewell to Blake Shelton.

In a thrilling finale that marked the departure of long-time coach Blake Shelton, "The Voice" crowned Gina Miles as its Season 23 Champion. Miles, mentored by Niall Horan, triumphed over fellow finalists Bryce Leatherwood, Brayden Lape, and Morgan Myles.

Miles' victory marks a historic moment for "The Voice," as she is the first female artist to win the competition since Season 15 in 2018. Her triumph is a testament to her powerful vocals, captivating stage presence, and the guidance of Horan, a first-time coach who proved to be a formidable force.

Meanwhile, Shelton's departure from "The Voice" leaves a significant void in the show's legacy. The country music star has been a mainstay on the panel since its inception in 2011, mentoring 8 winners throughout his tenure. His witty banter, infectious enthusiasm, and unwavering support for his team will be deeply missed.

The Season 23 finale also featured a special performance from Shelton, who sang "God Gave Me You" in tribute to his wife and fellow coach, Gwen Stefani. His emotional rendition of the song marked a poignant moment in the history of "The Voice" and brought the audience to tears.
