Chloe Kohanski was announced as the winner of the season, marking Blake Shelton's sixth win as a coach, and making her the third stolen artist to win, following Josh Kaufman in Season 6 and Craig Wayne Boyd in Season 7.

Coaches and hosts
The coach lineup changed once again for the thirteenth season. Gwen Stefani and Alicia Keys did not return as coaches.

The Playoffs
The Playoffs were taped on August 31 and September 1, and comprised episodes 15, 16, and 17. As in season 6, the Playoffs were prerecorded, featuring no interactive viewer voting component, and therefore no subsequent results shows. As in seasons 9, 10, and 12, four previously eliminated artists were chosen by the coaches to come back for the Playoffs. This time, they were Natalie Stovall (picked by Blake Shelton), Lucas Holliday (chosen by Jennifer Hudson), Karli Webster (joined by Miley Cyrus), and Whitney Fenimore (by Adam Levine).
This season is the first to have the Playoffs taped on the same stage as the Battles and the Knockouts. The top twenty-four artists performed for the coaches, with each coach choosing three artists from their teams for elimination. The remaining top twelve artists advanced to the live shows.
