The Voice coach Ariana Grande sent flowers to Joshua Vacanti after he left the competition at the Top 8 semi-finals last week. But the thing is–he’s a member of Team John Legend. Ariana WANTED Joshua on her team. She hit her button for him in the Blind Auditions after he sang “Into the Unknown.” But dang, John BLOCKED her, and she never got the chance to steal him.
The Voice Coach Ariana Grande Bids Farewell and Thanks Her Team
“Thank you @arianagrande ?” Joshua wrote on Instagram. “You + this show have stolen a piece of my heart. This experience would have been so vastly different without your supportive light for all of us artists. What a treasure you have been. I hope to see you again soon. Sending my love.”
Ariana’s card on the flowers read, “love you congratulations on your work. it is only the beginning! love ariana.” I wonder if John sent gifts after his team member’s elimination?
Joshua is set to appear on the Ellen Show
Speaking of what’s ahead for Joshua. He’s set to perform on the Ellen Degeneres show on December 14, the day of The Voice grand finale. Scarlett Johansson and Bono are also guests. Appearing on Ellen is a pretty swell consolation prize.

Selfies for everyone!
I couldn’t find evidence of Ariana sending flowers to other artists on other teams. But she did take selfies with a few artists. For instance, here she is with Team John Legend’s Shadale: “Just me and @arianagrande what a DOLL!! Girl I effing love you!” Shadale wrote.

And Ariana also posed with Team Kelly Clarkson’s Jeremy Rosado. Apparently, she comforted him after his elimination at the Top 10: “Last night was so hard but you made it amazing for me!” Jeremy wrote. “I’ve always loved you @arianagrande but getting to know you in real life is the greatest! Thank you for believing in me and thank you for the best night! I love you always and forgive me if I tell you I love you too many times a day! Thank you for everything you spoke over me last night, I’ve got my POV of the artist I am and can’t wait to make a record.. I’m sending you every song for approval haha!”

Ariana’s heartfelt goodbye to her last team member
As far as her own team members are concerned, she dropped a big goodbye message in the comments of an Instagram post from Sasha Allen. Jim and Sasha Allen, the father son duo, were eliminated at the semi-finals and were Ariana’s last team members. “god i love you so so much always permanently. this caption truly !!!! says it all.” Ariana wrote. “wouldn’t change one single thing. thank GOD for you & @jimallenmusic. you are so very loved by so so many but most ferociously by me. LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH. SEE YOU ALWAYS. cannot wait to hear all that you will create and see all that you will do.”
She’ll go into the finals without any artists. But as we see here, she has NO problem cheering on singers who are not on her team. Hailey Mia, whom Kelly stole from Ariana at the Knockouts can sub as a team member. A 14 year old singer could surely use two mamas.
