Another cycle of The Voice has wrapped! The season 24 finale aired live on Tuesday night (Dec. 19) and saw the competition come to a close after weeks of blind auditions, battle rounds and last-chance performances, culminating in the reveal of the show’s latest champion.
Jacquie Roar, Ruby Leigh, Mara Justine, Huntley and Lila Forde were the final five contestants left in the competition, after having one last chance to prove themselves solo with two performances on Monday’s episode, which served as the first part of the finale.
The Tuesday installment of the finale saw the hopefuls performing covers alongside their coaches — Huntley and Niall Horan teamed up for a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.” Horan pulled double duty as Mara Justine was also in the running to win the competition, and sang the Eagles’ “Wasted Time.” Reba McEntire also had two chances to win, and performed Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and Wynonna’s “No One Else on Earth” with Ruby Leigh and Jacquie Roar, respectively. John Legend also sang a Christmas hit with Lila Forde, putting their spin on Ella Fitzgerald’s “Sleigh Ride”
After a series of all star performances from Earth, Wind & Fire, AJR, Tyla, Teddy Swims, season 22 winner Bryce Leatherwood, season 25 coaches Dan + Shay and more, the season 24 champion was crowed. Huntley took home the title, providing Horan with his second consecutive coach win. Ruby Leigh finished in second place during the finale, though 32 percent Billboard readers — the majority — voted her their pick to win the competition.
Following his big win, Huntley revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that he “was so surprised” with his victory. “Ruby [Leigh] is so talented and I think that she is a force to reckon with, so the fact that it was us two standing up there, it was right. … She’s super talented, and when my name got called, I genuinely couldn’t believe it.”
The winner continued, “This has all been so worthwhile … I just want my career. I’m so hungry for this. John [Legend] said he can see me singing in arenas around the world, and that’s something I’m very hungry for. Y’all are not getting rid of me!”
The Voice will return for season 25 in February.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is joining the Dyson family. The K-pop star has been named Dyson’s newest brand ambassador, the company announced earlier this month.
On Monday (Dec. 18), Jisoo took to Instagram to share her excitement for the new partnership and gush over the Dyson Airstrait hair straightener. “Excited to partner with the Dyson family! Love Airstrait that gives me straight, shiny hair,” she captioned the photo.
Dyson’s Airstrait, the newest edition to its lineup of hair dryers, hair straighteners and multi-stylers, was introduced in May. Not to be confused with the Dyson Corrale flat iron, the Airstrait dries and straightens hair at the same time by utilizing directional airflow technology while protecting it from heat damage.
Jisso is also featured using the Dyson Airwrap in the limited-edition Ceramic Pop colorway (get it on sale here). The viral multi-styler retails for $599.99 at Dyson, Amazon, Best Buy, Ulta Beauty, Sephora and other major retailers.
Although Dyson has long been known for vacuums, and more recently for fans, heaters and air purifiers, the Airwrap helped put the company on the map as it relates to hair tools.
The Airwrap is available in a variety of colors, including the limited-edition vinca blue/rosé, blue/blush, silver/copper and other colors. The tool works on short hair, long hair and a range of different hair types including wavy, curly, coily and straight hair.
Looking for a last-minute Christmas gift? Place your order with Dyson by Wednesday, Dec. 20, at 3 p.m. ET to have it delivered by Sunday, Dec. 24.
Dyson is currently offering $100 off the Airwrap and $200 when you buy the Airwrap and Airstrait together. The Airwrap is also on sale at Best Buy and Bloomingdale’s.
