In a surprising twist for “The Voice” Season 26, former contestant Kelsey Rey, now known as Felsmere, returned to the stage after 13 years, becoming the first ever artist to compete again after previously being on a team.

Felsmere, who appeared on the very first season of the show in 2011, originally auditioned under her real name and joined Team CeeLo Green. This time, she wowed Gwen Stefani and Michael Bublé with her rendition of “Some Kind of Wonderful” and ultimately chose to be on Team Gwen.

While “The Voice” has seen contestants returning for a second chance after failing to turn a chair in the Blind Auditions, Felsmere’s return marks a significant change, as it challenges the show’s established rules.

Felsmere described her first experience on “The Voice” as the “best experience of my life” and expressed her excitement for this new opportunity, showcasing her growth and evolution as an artist.

“The Voice” continues on NBC, with new episodes airing on Monday, October 7, at 8 p.m. ET, and Tuesday, October 8, at 8 p.m. ET.
