Part one of The Voiceâs season 26 finale aired on Monday and will conclude tonight – marking the end to Snoop Doggâs first go at being a coach.
According to an insider who was at the taping of the competition show, filmed at the famous NBCUniversal lot, the night appeared emotional for all the coaches – but hit the California Love hitmaker the hardest.
When Team Snoop finalist Jeremy Beloate took the stage to perform his first song of the evening, his coach’s tears began to fall – and never stopped.
The contestant sang a heart-wrenching rendition of What The World Needs Is Love By Jackie DeShannon – which was made even more powerful with a choir supporting him on stage.
During the performance, NBC cameras briefly caught Snoop, 53, being present in the moment as tears streamed from his closed eyes.
After Jeremy finished the song, Snoop cried even harder and began to empty the box of tissues that was sitting in the basket under his chair.
Host Carson Daly, 51, also noted how emotional Snoop was, and quipped: â19 minutes in and youâre already crying. You are part of so many companies.
âIf youâre not a spokesperson for Kleenex tomorrow, someone on your team is doing something wrong.â

Though some might assume Snoop played up the moment for the cameras when filming stopped, he appeared even more emotional, a source told The U.S. Sun.
âSnoop cried so much harder when cameras were cut. Jeremy wasnât even on the stage anymore and they were well into commercial break and he couldnât stop.
âHe was feeling raw, genuine emotion and he had to pull it together by the time the commercial break was done. He went through nearly the entire basket of tissues.â
At one point, Snoop was crying so hard, his co-star Reba, 69, got up out of her chair and comforted him, offering a long hug and words of support.
“Damn how do you guys do this every year? This s**t hits deep,â Snoop was heard telling the country superstar – who is back for her second season.
Joining Snoopâs finalist this season are Danny Joseph for Team Reba and Sydney Sterlace for Team Gwen Stefani.
CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Each contestant is now hoping they have done what it takes to be crowned champion to win the coveted $100,000 and a recording contract.
On Monday for part one of the finale, each artist performed twice in the episode.
They each crooned a ballad and also performed an uptempo number.
Although season 26 is coming to an end, season 27 has already filmed blind auditions and isn’t too far away.
The 27th season of The Voice is set to premiere on February 3, 2025, on NBC.
Michael Buble will be returning early next year to coach a new group of singers, with the rest of the panel, Reba, Snoop, and Gwen sitting this one out.
Joining Michael for the 27th season is country artist Kelsea Ballerini who will be making her coaching debut.
John Legend will also be back, as well as the long-awaited return of one of the original coaches, Adam Levine.
The Maroon 5 frontman messily left the show in 2019 after expressing a series of concerns he had with his role on the show.
He famously built a bromance with co-coach Blake Shelton however, this will be the first season Adam is on where the country crooner won’t be by his side.
The Voice two-hour finale airs tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
