Before The Voice finale kicked off, Stefani sat down with Access Hollywood to discuss the show, contestants, and what 2024 might hold. While having her own New Year’s resolutions, the hitmaker revealed she would be apart from Shelton on the holiday due to her performing in Vegas. With Shelton already scheduled to perform at the New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, the singer said, “Well, it’s funny because I was going to be at his show, and then Vegas called and wanted me to be in Vegas.” She added, “So I was like, ‘Eh, I’m gonna do it.’ If you’re gonna be working then I’m gonna be working — so I’m just gonna fly in and out it’s gonna be awesome. I’m really looking forward to it.”

As for Shelton, he also detailed some of his New Year’s resolutions with the main one being to stop drinking. He told Entertainment Tonight, “I haven’t managed to stop drinking yet.
