Even though there’s no public announcement for why Gwen isn’t on The Voice for season 28, we may have uncovered clues behind the hiatus.
Over the last few months, folks have gotten to see Gwen promote new music off her 2024 album Bouquet. With that in mind, it seems like she has been taking the time to perform a few shows over the summer. As she shared on Instagram back in July, her last music appearance occurred alongside her husband Blake Shelton at the Churchill Park Music Festival in St. John’s, Canada.
“St. John’s 🇨🇦 💐 i’m coming for you July 27!! ✨,” she wrote at the time. “Can’t wait to sing with you gx.”

But that’s not all Gwen has been working on throughout the last year.
Outside of her work, the singer is also focusing on being a wife to Blake and mom to her three sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo (she shares her kids with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale). Sharing behind-the-scenes moments with her family at home, she’s been adamant about being present and enjoying life away from the spotlight. In fact, folks got to see Gwen with her family in May when she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
