Following HaVon’s win, he took to Instagram to thank everyone who voted for his win as well as McEntire for believing in his talents. “Wow! I am speechless! I am the Winner of [The Voice] Season 25! I am truly humbled and grateful for this moment,” he wrote. “First, Thank you to God for this gift and this opportunity to share it. Thank you to @nbcthevoice for continuing to give this platform for us to showcase our gifts. Thank you to Mama [Reba McEntire]. You have changed my life and created a milestone in my life that I will have forever. I am your son for life.” HaVon concluded, “Thank you to my Family, Friends, Team and Fans (My Halos)! Thank you for listening, tuning in and voting This is because of you!”
HaVon has been a fan-favorite performer since the start, joining Team Reba after earning a three-chair turn for his Blind Audition performance of Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain.” The singer would go on to win his Battle with “We Don’t Need Another Hero” by Tina Turner and his Knockout with Toni Braxton’s “Un-Break My Heart.” In the Playoffs, HaVon blew the audience away with “Titanum” by David Guetta and Sia before showing his prowess in the live shows with Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love to You” and Beyoncรฉ’s “Irreplaceable.”ย
The finale also featured HaVon’s renditions of Donna Summer’s “Last Dance” and Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” as well as guest performances by The Black Keys, Jelly Roll, Kate Hudson, Lainey Wilson, Muni Long, Thomas Rhett, and Season 23 winner Gina Miles.
The Season 25 finale also said goodbye to coaches Legend, Chance the Rapper and Dan + Shay, who are leaving their chairs behind to make room for returning coach Gwen Stefani and newcomers Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublรฉ when the show returns this fall.
