Count Blake Shelton among those who were shocked to learn that Adam Levine won’t return as a judge on Season 17 of The Voice.
The news was announced on Today on May 24 by the host of The Voice, Carson Daly.
Adam has served as a judge with Blake since the show’s inception in 2011. The pair’s often-contentious shtick continued to keep viewers tuning in for 16 seasons. After hearing the news, Blake didn’t miss the chance to hurl a final Twitter insult Adam’s way, noting that he was “gonna miss working with that idiot.”
Having a hard time wrapping my head around @adamlevine not being at @NBCTheVoice anymore. After 16 seasons that changed both of ours lives. I only found out about this yesterday and it hasn’t set in on me yet. Gonna miss working with that idiot.
