Warfare is roiling the set of The Voice<\/em><\/a> as upstart coaches Dan + Shay try to dethrone Queen of Country Reba McEntire<\/strong><\/a>, sources exclusively tell Life & Style<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Although she welcomed the country duo, Reba\u2019s now seeing red, and spies say she\u2019s ready to put the \u201cRoad Trippin\u2019\u201d singers on the first bus back to Nashville.<\/span><\/p>\n The first shot was fired at blind auditions during the second episode of season 25, when Reba, 68, used her one block of the season to stop Dan + Shay from claiming contestant Donny Van Slee<\/strong> for their team.<\/span><\/p>\n After the block, Dan Smyers<\/strong>, 36, and Shay Mooney<\/strong>, 32, who are joint coaches, were furious. \u201cI mean Reba blocked us, the new guys,\u201d Shay fumed. \u201cHow rude. I thought she was a sweet lady.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Shay then warned The Voice<\/em> veteran, \u201cYou started the battle. So guess what, buckle up, Reba. We\u2019re coming for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The duo didn\u2019t wait long to exact revenge. They blocked Reba minutes later, after she was the first to turn around in her chair for the very next act, Karen Waldrup<\/strong>. Shay shrieked, \u201cVengeance is sweet!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Dan rubbed it in, saying, \u201cMan, blocked the Queen of Country Music. Put that one on the r\u00e9sum\u00e9,\u201d as Reba stewed.<\/span><\/p>\n The clashes led fellow coach John Legend<\/strong> to comment, \u201cI think we have a little war starting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n An insider exclusively tells Life & Style, The Voice<\/em> honchos were hesitant about having two country acts as coaches, but they\u2019re now rubbing their hands with delight as the melee is making for must watch TV.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDan and Shay are such nice guys, there were fears the two of them would just defer to Reba,\u201d the source says. \u201cBut it\u2019s turning into the opposite \u2014 they\u2019re at each other\u2019s throats! And Dan and Shay say Reba may be the country queen, but they got her outnumbered!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
