Chevel Shepherd, a 16-year-old country singer, won “The Voice” on Tuesday, capping a run that highlighted her old-school style.

Her coach, Kelly Clarkson, joined her onstage for an embrace, marking the second team victory in a row for the former “American Idol” champ, who mentored contestant Brynn Cartelli to the top in Season 14 of “The Voice,” USA Today reported.
