Reba McEntire Triumphs in Season 25 of ‘The Voice’ as Her Singers Asher HaVon and Josh Sanders Secure First and Second Place

Asher HaVon was in shock when Carson Daly announced that he was the winner of season 25 of The Voice representing his coach Reba McEntire.

The 31-year-old singer from Selma, Alabama was stunned and dropped his head almost in disbelief when he learned that he won the entire competition.

Asher cried as confetti fell around him and his coach Reba, who inspired him along the way, joined him on stage and hugged him.

Moments before the live results were announced country star Reba, 69, told him how much she had seen him grow during the show.

‘I have seen you grow,’ the country legend said. ‘I have seen you change not your personality or your talent, but in your happiness. I know you’ve had such a great time here on The Voice, and everybody has had a wonderful time with you, especially me. Whatever happens in the next few minutes, I love you with all my heart.’
