In March 2013, sixteen-year-old Danielle Bradbery auditioned for season four of the American singing competition The Voice, performing Taylor Swift's "Mean". Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Usher all turned around, and Bradbery opted to join 'Team Blake'. Throughout the competition, Bradbery was the first to send a single to the top 10 on iTunes, had the most singles (five) reach that peak, and had the most iTunes downloads of any contestant in the history of the competition. On June 18, 2013, Bradbery was crowned the winner of The Voice, and the next day signed to Big Machine Records.
