Why did Tanner Frick leave The Voice? Fans were stunned when he posted a cryptic social media video following his surprise exit

Voice fans went wild on Monday when it was subtly announced that Tanner Frick had mysteriously left the show.

The show kicked off its 3-Way Knockout round in the new episode, with each judge – Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani and Michael Buble – pitting three singers against each other.

Buble finished in last place, although host Carson Daly revealed that “Tanner left the competition after rehearsals”, suggesting that only Sloane Simon and Cameron Wright would compete in the Knockout.

Hours before the episode, Frick, 26, cryptically posted a video on Instagram and TikTok that included audio from a new song with the caption “Ain’t nobody want me anyway.”

Fans were pretty stunned by the revelation and took to X along with Frick’s Instagram and TikTok posts to share their thoughts and ask why he left the show, which he has yet to publicly respond to.
