Gwen Stefani reveals significant career update following fan observations hinting at her departure from The Voice

 

Gwen Stefani, famed for her stint on The Voice, is venturing into a new role as a host. She recently joined Today With Hoda & Jenna, introducing a fresh segment and broadening her already diverse career.

Images posted on Instagram revealed behind-the-scenes moments of Gwen alongside her co-host, entertainment journalist Zanna Rassi, as they readied themselves for the “Shop to Drop” segment on Today.

At 54, Gwen looked radiant donning a white top combined with a striking red lace lingerie ensemble, while 41-year-old Zanna opted for an all-black outfit.

The images, shared on Gwen’s personal Instagram as well as the official Today with Hoda & Jenna account, formed part of a carousel slideshow.

The caption on the Today account brimmed with enthusiasm for the upcoming series, spotlighting Gwen’s candid discussion on family, fashion, beauty, and fresh music, along with an exclusive discount for viewers.

The debut of ‘Shop to Drop’ on Today has ignited speculation among fans regarding Gwen’s potential departure from The Voice.

This speculation stems from recent episodes wherein Gwen received criticism for her choices in team selections. She opted to save BIAS and Kara Tenae, and notably took Stee from fellow coach John Legend, aged 44.

Suggestions have emerged on social media regarding Gwen’s on-screen presence, with some viewers expressing concerns about her apparent hesitation in decision-making, hinting at a perceived uncertainty about her continued tenure on the show.

Criticism has not only focused on Gwen’s individual performance but also extended to her team’s overall display. Observations of off-pitch moments and doubts surrounding her coaching choices have been highlighted by viewers. One viewer remarked, ‘Gwen’s team appears to be the weakest link. Despite her confidence in guiding these singers, it’s becoming evident she lacks the necessary expertise.’

Another comment added weight to this sentiment, stating, ‘Given the outcome of this knockout round, it wouldn’t be surprising if Gwen opted not to return as a coach. Frankly, I might even consider not completing the season.’

Calls for Gwen’s removal from The Voice have escalated recently, primarily centred around dissatisfaction with her hesitant judging style.

Gwen faced criticism during tense moments when judges grappled with tough decisions about their team members. Some viewers grew frustrated with Gwen’s apparent hesitation in making choices, with one critic expressing, “Tired of Gwen’s indecision, didn’t miss her presence at all.”

Returning to The Voice in Season 24 following a hiatus from the show, Gwen’s reappearance coincided with her husband, 47-year-old Blake Shelton, announcing his departure from The Voice in October 2022—a decision he had contemplated for years.

His exit led to country icon Reba McEntire, 68, stepping in as his replacement. During a recent episode, guest judge Wynonna Judd took a dig at Gwen while discussing with Reba, shedding light on the competitive dynamics among the show’s coaches.
