The Voice Season 22 returned for an all-new episode on Monday night, October 10, 2022 and this week the famed reality TV competition series aired its final Blind Auditions. With teams filling up fast, the coaches were very careful with who they turned their chairs around for.
Gwen Stefani had only two spots remaining and was looking for a young female singer to add to her team. When 17-year-old Rowan Grace Hibbard took to center stage to perform her rendition of Olivia Rodrigo's Traitor, her clear tone and contemporary voice made both Gwen and John Legend turn their chairs immediately for her.
Later, Camila Cabello also turned her chair for The Voice contestant.
After her performance, John shared that he felt like Rowan "really connected with the song." Camila said that she could "coach Rowan through her nervousness." Gwen shared that she won the show with 15-year-old Cater Rubin and could do the same with the young contestant.
Ultimately, Rowan ended up choosing Gwen as her coach for the rest of the season.
