LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the latest episode of Season 25 of 'The Voice', Anya True graced the stage with her presence and delivered a stunning performance of Stephen Sanchez's hit song 'Until I Found You.'

The audience was captivated by her beautiful vocals and emotion-packed delivery, making her a standout contestant in the competition. True's rendition of the song showcased her exceptional talent and left the fans in awe, solidifying her place as a frontrunner in the season. 

Both Dan + Shay, as well as coach Chance the Rapper, swiftly pivoted their chairs in unison, demonstrating their immediate interest. However, John Legend and Reba McEntire, in contrast, opted to remain seated and abstained from turning their chairs.

During the Blind Audition, John expressed that Anya's performance seemed to be filled with nervousness, which ultimately influenced his decision not to turn his chair for her. In the end, Anya decided to select Dan + Shay as her coach for the season.
