What happened
During the episode, Green, 37, pitched Ferryn & Brinkley, saying, “I took her on tour with me … She’s doing pretty well,” referring to Langley, who had opened for him on his 2024 and 2025 tours and recorded two duets with him. The duo later chose Green as their coach for the Battle Rounds.
What the reports add
