Coaches and hosts
The coaching lineup changed once again for the fourteenth season. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton returned as coaches, making them the only members of the coaching panel to be part of all fourteen seasons. Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson were replaced by returning coach Alicia Keys, who returned after a one season absence and was participating in her third season, and Kelly Clarkson, who served as an advisor for Team Blake during the Battle rounds in the second season and key advisor for all the teams during the Knockout Rounds in the thirteenth season. Carson Daly returned for his fourteenth season as host
This season a new feature, the Block, was added during the Blind Auditions. This allows the coaches to block one coach from getting an artist the coach turned around for.
Also, Season 14 introduced a Save button that allowed a coach to save an artist they just eliminated during the Knockouts Round. However, if another coach also pressed his or her Steal button, the contestant could then decide whether they wanted to go to a new team or return to their former coach.
This season's advisors for the Battle Rounds weree Julia Michaels for Team Adam, Shawn Mendes for Team Alicia, Hailee Steinfeld for Team Kelly, and Trace Adkins for Team Blake.

Week 1: Live Playoffs (April 16, 17, and 18)
For the first time, the Live Playoffs were split into two rounds and introduced immunity to the highest vote-getters to advance to the Top 12 in Round 1.
Round 1
During the first round of the Live Playoffs, all of the Top 24 performed for the votes of the public. The artist with the highest number of votes on each team directly advanced to the Top 12, receiving immunity from the Round 2 eliminations, and left the remaining five artists from each team to perform again in Round 2.

Round 2
On Nights 2 and 3, the twenty remaining artists performed a second time for the votes of the public (this vote was separate from the Round 1 vote). The highest vote-getter and a coach's choice from each team joined the other four artists from Round 1 in the Top 12.

Week 2: Top 12 (April 23 & 24)
This week's theme was "Story Behind The Song". The two artists with the fewest votes competed for an Instant Save, with one or two leaving the competition each week until the semifinals.
None of the artists reached the top 10 on iTunes, so no bonuses were awarded.
Week 3 : Top 11 (April 30 & May 1)
The theme for this week was "Fan Night", meaning that the artists performed songs chosen by the fans.
iTunes bonuses were awarded to Pryor Baird (#4) and Britton Buchanan (#6).
Week 4 : Top 10 (May 7 & 8)
The theme for this week was "Overcoming Struggles". Different from previous weeks, the bottom three vote-getters competed in the Instant Save, with two artists being eliminated.
iTunes bonuses were awarded to Kyla Jade (#5), Brynn Cartelli (#8), Britton Buchanan (#9) and Pryor Baird (#10).
Week 5 : Semifinals (May 14 & 15)
The Top 8 performed on Monday, May 14, 2018, with the results following on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. In the semifinals, three artists automatically moved on to next week's finale, the two artists with the fewest votes were immediately eliminated and the middle three contended for the remaining spot in next week's finale via the Instant Save. iTunes bonuses were awarded to Kyla Jade (#2), Britton Buchanan (#3), Brynn Cartelli (#4), Kaleb Lee (#5), Pryor Baird (#7) and Spensha Baker (#10). In addition to their individual songs, each artist performed a duet with another artist in the competition, though these duets were not available for purchase on iTunes.
With the elimination of Rayshun LaMarr, Adam Levine no longer had any artists remaining on his team. This is the first time since the fourth season that he had lost his entire team prior to the finale. In addition, with the advancement of Brynn Cartelli to the finale, Kelly Clarkson became the third new coach to successfully get an artist on her team to the finale on her first attempt as a coach, the second being Alicia Keys, who coached Wé McDonald all the way to the finale of the eleventh season, and the first being Usher, who coached Michelle Chamuel all the way to the finale of the fourth season. This also marked the first time ever that two female coaches were represented in the finale.
Week 6: Finale (May 21 & 22)
The Final 4 performed on Monday, May 21, 2018, with the final results following on Tuesday, May 22, 2018. This week, the four finalists performed a solo cover song, a duet with their coach, and an original song. iTunes bonuses were awarded to Britton Buchanan (#1 and #10), Brynn Cartelli (#3 and #6), Spensha Baker (#4) and Kyla Jade (#9). Buchanan's "Where You Come From" and Cartelli's "Walk My Way" are the only songs that charted #1 on iTunes.
This is the first time that an artist who won the Instant Save in the semifinals did not finish in the last two spots in the finals, with Britton Buchanan finishing 2nd. With Britton Buchanan and Brynn Cartelli making it to the Top 2, this marked the first time in which the final results came down to two artists who have neither represented Blake Shelton nor Adam Levine. This is also the first time that the final results came down to two artists coached by two female coaches, with Buchanan representing Alicia Keys, and Cartelli representing Kelly Clarkson.
