UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24 coach Reba McEntire gained attention in the last Knockouts episode. Reba did not make any comments on Mac Royals' performance in the Knockouts even though he was considered to be the best of all by other coaches.

For those who don't know, Mac was in Team Reba before John stole away the singer. Therefore, many wonder whether Reba is "still holding the grudge" against Mac for not taking note of singing the song as she suggested him to.

However, some fans wondered whether NBC was purposely trying to focus on Reba's "disdain" by editing Reba's praise section from the episode or whether Reba chose to be blind after Mac's performance.

A fan took to X to claim, "@reba showed her slip a lil bit… still holding a grudge against Mac! didn’t even address him as his former coach…. your slip is showing."

Another claimed, "Reba’s clear disdain for Mac is showing hard… she’s still holding a grudge for him not taking her note about singing the song the way she told him. She normally compliments EVERY singer."

A viewer wondered, "Reba didn’t have anything nice to say about Mac? Was there an edit? Do tell."



 



 



 

A fan commented on YouTube, "How-Why did Reba let go of Mac I will never understand."

"Is it me, or does Reba have something against Mac Royals, she didn’t even acknowledge his performance when he originally chose her. She’s done that with another artist as well. She’s definitely not Blake Shelton. Yeah I said it. Just pay attention to it," wondered another.
