“Heartache Tonight”, released in 1979 as part of the Eagles' sixth studio album In the long term, was the perfect track to showcase all of the coach’s contributions to the competition.

Snoop opened the set, joining the coaches onstage from the audience, wearing a sparkling black suit. Then Bublé took the stage, delivering his signature velvety vocals in a black tuxedo. McEntire, who won season 25 with Asher HaVon, brought her country flair to the song in the chorus. Meanwhile, Stefani brought a playful and fun spirit to the collaboration.

McEntire, who is entering her third season as coach, has a firm guiding principle when selecting her team this time. “It is not [about] how they look or how they sound, it's about what we feel when they perform,” she said. “Are we inspired? Do we feel something? I would turn around in a heartbeat for someone who made me feel something – cry or laugh – but I have to feel something. A lot of people can sing. How many people can touch your heart when they sing? That's what we're looking for, and we've chosen an eclectic group of entertainers and singers. They may not be the fanciest or maybe the youngest, but they're the ones who have touched our hearts.”
