But first, things kicked off with a lighthearted special performance from country star Carly Pearce, who sang her hit single “29.” Next up, Team Ariana’s Jim and Sasha Allen, Team Blake’s Wendy Moten, Paris Winningham, and Lana Scott, Team Kelly’s Hailey Mia and Girl Named Tom, Team Legend’s Joshua Vacanti, and Jershika Maple took to the stage to begin unveiling the season’s saved competitors.
The first name to be announced as safe by host Carson Daly was Team Blake’s Wendy Moten, but further reveals had to wait as Legend took time in the spotlight to sing his holiday tune “You Deserve It All.” After a brief virtual check-in with Kenan Thompson ahead of the People’s Choice Awards, Daly further revealed that Girl Named Tom and Paris Winningham were also saved heading into the finale.
Joining the evening’s lineup of performers, Blake Shelton serenaded the crowd and viewers at home with his song “Come Back as a Cowboy.” This lead to the final reveal as Team Kelly’s Hailey Mia was saved, leaving Lana Scott, Joshua Vacanti, Jim and Sasha Allen, and Jershika Maple to compete for America’s Vote in the Instant Save.
