But on Monday night (March 11), New Orleans native and mega-Swiftie Zoe Levert got a double whammy when she got a last-minute chair turn from coach John Legend. Levert, 20, scored a spot on Team Legend with her confident performance of Taylor Swift's “Better Man (Taylor's Version)” from the singer's 2021 reboot. Red album.
Dan + Shay loved the song choice — the song was the first single from their eighth album Little Big Town, The Breakersince Swift left it out of the 2012 original Red album — with Legend joking that he thought it sounded like a Swift song. While having her moment in the spotlight, Levert also revealed that she's a big fan of Dan + Shay, casually telling the duo that she's getting married later this year.
In fact, she added, her fiance Ryan was at the house to support her and their first dance song is the duo's 2016 single 'From the Ground Up'. Of course that got Dan + Shay up from their seats and onto the stage, where they serenaded the pair with the tune, joking “we've got a pastor here if you wanna just beat it now.”
The sweet surprise culminated with the pair slow-dancing the ballad, prompting Chance the Rapper to say he was about to cry at the impromptu tender moment that included Shay Mooney dropping the jokey ad lib line, “it's okay you didn't pick us why we didn't solve, you are in good hands with John Legend”.
“It's totally clear that if you had the choice to pick Dan + Shay, you would have picked them,” Legend teased, with Levert saying “No! Team Legend all the way!”
