“As a Mentor, as a Coach, and as a Mother”: ‘The Voice’ Winner Asher HaVon Details the Profound Impact Reba McEntire Has Had on His Life

Despite not having sung a note in two years, Asher HaVon sent all four big red chairs spinning with his Blind Audition performance on The Voice. Under the guidance of coach Reba McEntire, the Selma, Alabama native, 33, became the show’s first openly LGBTQ+ winner. Since claiming the season 25 trophy, HaVon hasn’t stopped giving Reba her proper due. He recently opened up about the invaluable lessons he learned from the “Queen of Country.”

Asher HaVon Dedicated His First Song After ‘The Voice’ To Reba

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Asher HaVon took the stage during The Voice season 26 finale. The R&B artist sang directly to Reba as he performed his latest single, “Thank You,” which he dedicated to his coach.

“The entire song was based on our relationship, of course being from Selma, not experiencing a big city and then going to the big city and meeting Reba,” HaVon told his hometown paper. “She really cultivated me like a mother with a son and just really walked me through some great trials and really bringing me out on the other side as a mentor, as a coach and as a mother.”
