‘The Voice': Dylan Carter, Who Sang On Team Reba, Dead at 24

Dylan Carter, a contestant on Season 24 of The Voice, has died, according to South Carolina news outlet Fox 8. He was just 24 years old.

Police reports indicate that Carter died on Saturday night (April 25). Variety reports that Carter's cause of death was a car crash.

Who Was Dylan Carter From The Voice?

Dylan Carter earned a four-chair turn during the Blind Auditions of Season 24 of The Voice in 2023. He sang a rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Look To You" in honor of his mother, who had died the year before.

Carter's rendition was so powerful, it brought coach Reba McEntire to tears.

"I saw you get so emotionally involved," she explained to him as she acknowledged that the performance had gotten her misty-eyed. "And that's when you know you've got a great song and a great singer, when it touches your heart."

Carter chose to compete as part of Team Reba and made it to the Battle Rounds, but was eliminated after being matched up against fellow contestant Tom Nitti for a performance of Cody Johnson's "'Til You Can't." His departure from the show was an emotional moment for the coaches, too.
