The Voice season 22 returned with day 2 of its Live Playoffs on November 15, 2022. After two contestants from each team advanced to the Top 13 based on the votes for their live performances, each coach got to save one artist from their team. The last one standing had to fight it out in the Instant Save Wildcard round.

From Camila Cabello's team, Morgan Myles and Devix received the highest number of votes and advanced to the Top 13. The Voice coach then proceeded to save Eric from elimination, with Kate performing in the wildcard.

For her wildcard performance, Kate sang When I Look at You by Miley Cyrus. After her performance, coach Camila Cabello gushed:

"Everybody just freaked out! Choked up!"

She added that Kate's performance was magical and urged America to vote for Kate to advance to the Top 13. Sadly, Kate didn't receive the highest number of votes. She lost to Bryce Leatherwood, who won the wildcard entry.

Upon witnessing Kate's elimination, fans of the show took to Twitter to express themselves and claimed that she deserved to be saved over Bryce.
