Seven singers automatically advanced to The Voice's upcoming "Live Playoffs" after they won their respective "knockout" against a fellow teammate, while one artist was selected to move on after he lost his knockout but was stolen by another coach. Each coach is allowed one "steal" in this round.
In the "Knockout Round," two members from the same team sing a song of their choice one at a time. The artists' coach must then decide which of the two singers should remain on his or her team. All the contestants are advised by Taylor Swift in addition to The Voice coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Pharrell Williams.
For "Team Blake," Allison Bray sang "Sin Wagon" and was followed by Taylor Brashears' rendition of "Landslide." Taylor won the round, so Allison was eliminated.
Blake also picked Reagan James to perform against Grant Ganzer. Reagan sang "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)," while Grant performed "Apologize." Reagan won the knockout.

For "Team Gwen," Anita Antoinette beat out Craig Wayne for a spot. However, Blake opted to steal Craig back for his own team after his performance of "Can't You See." Anita sang "Rude."
Pharrell declared Jean Kelley the winner of her knockout after she faced off against Menlik Zergabachew. Jean performed "Chandelier," while Menlik took the stage with "Could You Be Loved."
Adam required Chris Jamison to perform against Blessing Offor. Chris won the knockout after performing "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." Blessing sang "Your Body Is a Wonderland."
Adam also picked Matt McAndrew over teammate Rebekah Samarin after he sang "Drops of Jupiter."
