Mary Kate Connor took the stage on the popular singing show with a rendition of "Stars" by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, getting judges Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson to immediately turn around for her.
"You just nailed it, like dead on, like a younger Brandi Carlile," stated judge Kelly Clarkson.
"Your voice is very soft and angelic but also it's funny when you say North Carolina...," Blake Shelton said, before Mary Kate interrupts him.
"It's Virginia."
The Loudon County teen had both superstar musicians fighting for her to be a part of their team, ultimately picking country music star Blake Shelton as her coach.
As stated in her intro, the teen grew up watching her dad practice for his church's worship band, always looking for an opportunity to pick up the microphone.
Fans of the show can follow Mary Kate's progress on NBC at 8 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays.
