From his sublime Blind Audition right to the finale, Carter Rubin wowed viewers with his exceptional voice, and his coach on "The Voice" couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Rubin had Stefani in tears, moved by his performances on more than one occasion, and it led to the popular coach snagging her first-ever win on the long-running singing competition.

RUBIN'S JOURNEY

For his Blind Audition, Rubin performed "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi, and Mariah Carey's "Hero," and "Rainbow Connection" from The Muppets followed in the weeks to come, and all brought tears to Stefani's eyes.

After Rubin performed an original song he titled "Up From Here," and "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus at Monday's live show, Stefani raved about Rubin's performance style as she reportedly said:

THE FINALE

On Tuesday night, Rubin joked about filling big shoes because he sang "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" with Stefani - the track on her 2017 holiday album she originally sang with fiance and fellow judge Blake Shelton.

While Rubin is happy with his choice of coach, it made his dreams come true to be able to sing with Stefani, who also brought her unique sense of style to the show each week.

"Oh my gosh we won! This is so crazy, and we are trying to understand that this is happening right now!"

SHE KNEW THEY WOULD

Following the top five's announcement, Rubin came up against Desz for Team Kelly, John Holiday for Team Legend, and Ian Flanigan and Jim Ranger for Team Blake - pitting Stefani and Blake Shelton against each other.

Then ahead of the final, Stefani took to social media to tease her fiance and fellow coach that she's got Season 19 of "The Voice" in the bag, even though Shelton thought his doubled chances gave him the edge.
