Three 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 mentored by Taylor Swift in addition to The Voice coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Pharrell Williams.

For "Team Gwen," Troy Ritchie sang "Hey Ya!" and was followed by Taylor John Williams' rendition of "Mad World." Taylor won the round, so Troy was eliminated.

Adam paired Alessandra Castronovo, who performed "Next To Me," with Mia Pfirrman, who sang "Human." Mia knocked out Alessandra.

Pharrell declared Elyjuh Rene the winner of his knockout after he faced off against Ricky Manning. However, Gwen chose to steal Ricky for her own team after she was thoroughly impressed with his version of "Wrecking Ball." Elyjuh had performed "With You."

The Voice's seventh season will feature one more episode of the "Knockout Round" before airing a recap special and then the "Live Playoffs."
