- Sumrall, Mississippi native Kayleigh Clark earned a four-chair turn on NBC’s “The Voice.”
- Clark performed Sugarland’s “Stay” for judges Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé.
- Despite admiring McEntire, the 20-year-old singer chose to join Niall Horan’s team.
- Clark previously competed on “American Idol” in 2023, reaching the Top 55.
Sumrall-native Kayleigh Clark turned heads — and chairs — during her blind audition on NBC’s “The Voice.”
Monday night, Sept. 29, the 20-year-old sang Sugarland’s “Stay,” prompting all four judges, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, to turn their chairs, meaning all four wanted Clark on their team.
Even though Clark said she has admired McEntire her entire life, the young country singer ultimately chose to join Horan’s team.
Clark’s appearance on “The Voice” is not her first brush with TV singing competition shows. In 2023, when Clark was a 17-year-old homeschool senior, she had a brief run on “American Idol” Season 21.
After winning a golden ticket, Clark traveled to Hollywood to compete in the Hollywood Week rounds. Clark contracted COVID-19 and had to perform virtually.
Despite her illness, Clark made it through to the Top 55 but was sent home after her third performance. Clark competed against fellow Mississippians Zacariah Smith and Colin Stough, the latter of whom went on to win that season.
How can I watch Kayleigh Clark on The Voice?
New episodes of “The Voice” Season 28 air Monday and Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. CDT on NBC.
Episodes are available to stream on Peacock the day after they air.
Who are the coaches on ‘The Voice’ this season?
Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, all “Voice” veterans, returned to usher in and nurture a new crop of talent this season.
Bublé, McEntire and Horan have all won at least one season of “The Voice” in their tenure. Like the coaches, host Carson Daly will also resume his duties (for the 28th consecutive season.)
The only change, at least for Daly, is that in addition to serving as master of ceremonies, he will also possess the power of the “Carson Callback,” a new rule change designed to Daly more power during “Blind Auditions.”
According to NBC Insider, the “Carson Callback” allows Daly “to bring back an Artist who got no chair turns and give them another opportunity to vie for a spot in the competition.”
