Blake Shelton is leaving The Voice after Season 23 and as the Blind Auditions round of the competition comes to a conclusion, the country star took his chair for one final spin.

Shelton connected with Grace by recalling that he moved to Nashville when he was 17 to work for a publishing company, just like her, with dreams of one day becoming a country superstar.

“I’ve been wrestling with this for a while and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from The Voice after season 23,” Shelton said in a statement. “This show has changed my life in every way for the better and it will always feel like home to me.
