Kenna Elpers, a 23-year-old country singer, auditioned for The Voice hoping to join Riley Green’s team, having previously opened for him at a 2023 music festival. She performed Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse”, prompting Green and Queen Latifah to turn their chairs, though both coaches noticed some nerves in her delivery.

Elpers brought a signed koozie Green had given her as a reminder of their earlier meeting and ultimately chose him as her coach. The audition highlighted Green’s country expertise, while Queen Latifah stressed that Elpers’ talent remained impressive despite the nerves; the programme airs on NBC each Monday after its season 30 premiere week.
