Who won The Voice? Revealing the 2020 winner

Unveiling the winner of this season of The Voice.

The Voice kept its run of shows going during the coronavirus pandemic, moving to a virtual, stay-at-home format that still managed to remain fun and relevant.

While they had to resort to some gimmickry (an at-home performance from Jon Bovi edited together with the individual musicians playing remotely), it came together nicely in the end.

And on Tuesday night we finally got to see this season’s winner: Todd Tilghman, who was a member of Team Blake Shelton. It’s yet another win for Shelton, who is by far the most successful coach in the show’s history, with seven wins.

Tilghman was, oddly enough, the first person to audition for The Voice this season. He was also the last man standing.

The Mississippi pastor celebrated with his wife and eight children after the winner was announced.

Here was his performance in the finale:
