UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Reba McEntire was moved by 19-year-old Tanner Massey's performance in 'The Voice' Season 24 Playoffs.

As she tried complimenting the singer, the coach was mocked by fellow coaches for flirting.

Reba says to Tanner, "Have I told you today that you're cute as a button." Tanner replied, "You know I think you did."

John Legend then mocked Reba by repeating her compliment, saying, "Have we told you, you're cute as button, Have we told you?" This made all the coaches laugh.

Niall Horan added, "And as Reba would say 'I was taken to pieces.'"

Seeing Tanner move ahead in the show, a fan tweeted, "I knew I KNEW TANNER WOULD MAKE IT TO THE LIVES."

Another praised him, "Tanner is the best on Gwen's team."

A fan wrote, "Tanner song Impossible and my boy fought!"

One complimented the singer, "Tanner for the win!"

"Tanner Massey is so likeable and always bringing the intensity. His voice has so much cry in it and he uses it to great advantage. Plus he can interpret a lyric so well," tweeted a fan.
