IsAriana Grandecountry enough?
On Tuesday night during the season finale ofThe Voice, thePositionssongstress shared her lost hilarious audition tape forBlake Shelton’s “Come Back as a Country Boy” music video.
Grande then takes on challenges to prove her country-ness, including catching a beer can (which she missed), turning on a chainsaw (also a fail), posing like her fellow coach “Blake would,” crushing a beer can, singing like Shelton and recreating his moves in the music video.
In the end, Grande asks, “Did I get it?” A voice then replies “We’ll let you know.”
Later that night, Grande shared the tape on her Instagram and captioned it, “still waiting to hear but I feel like no news is good news ? ….. perhaps ? lmk@blakesheltonlove you so much my pal.”
Ahead of the season finale, Grande toldEntertainment Tonightthat even though her first season onThe Voicedidn’t end in victory, she still felt “so blessed.”
“I wouldn’t change anything about it. I know I’m out of the running in a big way, but I had the most beautiful time, and I feel like I got to do some really special work with these artists,” she told the outlet. “And I will continue to know and work with them, and I care deeply about them.”
“I made incredible friendships, and learned so much from [my fellow coaches],” she added. “I’m so blessed to have been a part of it, and it was a very cherished experience to me.”

Meanwhile, Shelton, 45, also told PEOPLE on Tuesday thatGrande is “the sweetest"so it’s “hard” to get mad at her. Grande, however, doesn’t hold back.
“I have not been able to really pin Ariana down yet as what kind of rival she is,” Shelton told PEOPLE. “It’s really hard to get mad at Ariana enough to really go for her throat because she’s the sweetest kid that you’ll ever meet.”
“She will look at you with a smile and be sticking the knife straight in your back,” he continued. “She’s done it to me a hundred times already. And it’s like, ‘Okay. Now I see how it is.’ And then she wins you back over, and you’re not mad at her anymore.”
At Tuesday’s party, guests were able to enjoy DJ sets from Lost Kings, MAAD andRuPaul’s Drag Race’s Plastique Tiara. USC’s Trojan Marching Band also performed a medley of the top five streamed songs on Spotify.
