Snoop Dogg Reflects on His Future with The Voice as Season 26 Ends with Historic Win

Spoiler alert for The Voice Season 26! The December 10 live results show revealed this season’s winner in a star-studded finale that’s now available for streaming on Peacock. The night wasn’t just about crowning a champion—it was also a bittersweet farewell to this season’s panel of coaches, including Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and fan favorite Snoop Dogg. As The Voice gears up for its return in 2025, fans were left wondering: Will Snoop Dogg ever grace the Big Red Chairs again?

Will Snoop Dogg Return to The Voice?

The December 10 finale featured unforgettable performances, including Snoop Dogg taking the stage with his finalist Jeremy Beloate and Sting for a lively duet. However, as the night unfolded, speculation grew about whether this marked the rapper’s final stint as a coach.

Before Carson Daly closed the season, Snoop addressed the burning question of his return, saying:

“It’s been a great experience for me. I didn’t know what I was signing on to, but I do know it feels like I could come back and do it again.”

The crowd erupted with cheers, and Carson Daly playfully vowed to hold Snoop to his words. The host praised the rapper for the authenticity, heart, and camaraderie he brought to the show.

Initially, Snoop Dogg had signed on for just one season, intending to make it a one-time gig. But over the course of the competition, he developed a close bond with his fellow coaches—Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Michael Bublé—and with the contestants, whom he described as family. During the Blind Auditions, he even hinted at a potential return by encouraging an artist to audition again so he could hit his button next time. While his future on The Voice remains uncertain, his love for the experience suggests this may not be his last season.

Sofronio Vasquez Makes History as Season 26 Champion

While Snoop’s future on The Voice generated excitement, the real star of the night was Sofronio Vasquez, who delivered two stellar performances that secured his win. Vasquez made history as the first Filipino and only the second Asian contestant to claim victory on the show, following Tessanne Chin’s win in Season 5.

Before the winner was announced, his coach Michael Bublé expressed how much Vasquez’s representation meant, saying:

“My Filipino brother, you are the hope of so many people—not just in the Philippines, but Asians everywhere. They’re watching you tonight, so proud of you, and you represent them beautifully. This journey with you has been extraordinary.”

When Carson Daly declared Vasquez the winner, the singer dropped to his knees in an emotional moment before being embraced by his fellow contestants and his coach.

It was a significant night for Michael Bublé as well. The rookie coach became the fourth in The Voice history to win during his first season, joining Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Niall Horan. He also achieved a rare feat, coaching both the winner and the runner-up, Shye.

Final Rankings and What’s Next

Gwen Stefani’s finalist Sydney Sterlace took third place, followed by Reba McEntire’s Danny Joseph in fourth, and Snoop Dogg’s Jeremy Beloate rounding out the top five.

With Season 26 now wrapped, fans can look forward to The Voice returning on February 3, 2025, with Adam Levine making his comeback to the coaching panel. Until then, the unforgettable moments of this season, from historic wins to heartfelt performances, will continue to resonate.
