However, it is not Allsup’s country rock vocals that have us writing the post. Although Allsup proved that his talent is surely worthy of Shelton’s team the real story here is how the two of them are connected. It turns out that Allsup and Blake have met before. The two have a history in music together as Allsup has been Shelton’s opener in the past.

Once Austin was officially added to Shelton’s team the two connected backstage with Allsup sharing a hilarious story about how Shelton once kissed him after a show.

Blake was quick to comment on the addition to his team with this tweet:

This marks Shelton’s 11th season on The Voice, and he is no stranger to winning the hit TV show. However, this season brings the heat with the addition of soulful legend, Alicia Keys, and country star turned pop, Miley Cyrus. With the show well underway into the blind auditions both of the new comers have been giving Shelton and fellow coach, Adam Levine, a run for their money.

Allsup, the Forth Worth native took to his instagram to share his excitement, even showing us a major flashback of him and the country superstar singing together.

Us Country Music fans are surely rooting for this spectacular reunion. We are wishing you the best of luck Austin!
