Watch: Reba McEntire's unexpected move on 'The Voice' brings Snoop Dogg to tears

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Voice' Season 26 premiere on September 23 brought an emotional surprise when new coach Snoop Dogg was seen wiping away tears following a heartfelt moment with fellow coach Reba McEntire.

During a blind audition, McEntire took an unexpected step that not only thrilled the audience but also marked a historic first for the show.

The touching moment unfolded when Reba McEntire, the iconic singer famous for her hit 'Fancy', experienced a change of heart following contestant Kendall Eugene's heartfelt rendition of Morgan Wallen’s 'Don’t Think Jesus'.

Initially, McEntire, along with the other coaches, opted not to turn her chair, but she quickly recognized that she had made a mistake.

"I liked everything about it," McEntire said, reflecting on Eugene’s performance.

When Eugene candidly responded, “(You) should’ve turned,” McEntire couldn’t help but agree, quipping back, “I was going to say that exact same words.” Still puzzled by her own decision not to turn, McEntire later admitted, “I don’t understand why I did not turn around.”

However, McEntire wasn’t about to let this opportunity pass her by. She seized the moment and made history on 'The Voice' by becoming the first coach to utilize the new Coach Replay button, a feature that enables coaches to change their minds and claim a contestant they initially passed over.

“We’ve got this new thing this year, that is a Coach Replay button. I’m going to use mine,” she announced, pressing the button to the audience's excitement.

Kendall Eugene's emotional response, as he buried his face in his hands, only heightened the significance of the moment.

Snoop Dogg, a new coach on the show this season, was clearly touched by the scene. “Wow! Go give that man a hug,” he urged McEntire, who then embraced Eugene.

As McEntire hugged the contestant, the camera returned to Snoop, who was spotted lifting his glasses to wipe away tears.

“I knew in my heart I wanted him on my team,” McEntire expressed, emphasizing her connection to Eugene’s performance.

Snoop's emotional display persisted throughout the episode. Later on, the legendary rapper became misty-eyed again when fellow coach Michael Buble performed alongside contestant Ben Fagerstedt.

The duo delivered a breathtaking rendition of Frank Sinatra’s classic 'I’ve Got You Under My Skin', prompting Snoop to stand up for a standing ovation. “Damn, that was hell of a coaching right there,” Snoop remarked, clearly impressed.
