Ariana Grande celebrated Thanksgiving with her loved ones, and that includes her teammates on The Voice. As those who follow the pop star on Instagram might have seen, she gathered for dinner with her family, Holly Forbes, and Jim and Sasha Allen. During the festivities, the coach and her contestants even broke out into an impromptu concert. Among the songs they performed was “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney, which they sang on The Voice earlier in the week.

Team Ariana’s Holly Forbes and Jim and Sasha Allen made it to the Top 10 on ‘The Voice’

Two (well, technically three) contestants on Team Ariana remain in The Voice Season 21’s competition. First, there’s Holly, a mother of two from Kentucky. As NBC notes, the 30-year-old singer began performing with her choir in middle school. However, she experienced medical issues and lost her hair, which caused her to lose some confidence. Still, Holly kept her love of music alive and eventually grew to love herself again.

Holly started her journey on The Voice with a four-chair turn. She joined coach Kelly Clarkson’s team, but Ariana later stole the singer in the Knockout rounds.

Meanwhile, father-son duo Jim and Sasha have been with Team Ariana from the beginning. According to NBC, Jim, 57, played in folk and bluegrass groups until he became a music teacher. He taught his son, Sasha, now 19, to play guitar at 6 years old; they’ve been jamming together ever since. Sasha came out as transgender in high school, and music helped him with his journey.

During The Voice Top 11 Eliminations, Jim and Sasha went up against Team Kelly’s Gymani in Wild Card Instant Save performances. In the end, fans voted the duo through, pushing Jim, Sasha, and Holly to the Top 10. That same night, they performed “FourFiveSeconds” around a campfire with Ariana, which fans can see below.

Ariana Grande invited her team to celebrate a very musical Thanksgiving with her family

Ariana shared images and videos of her Thanksgiving celebration on Instagram. She tagged Holly, Jim, and Sasha in her post, as well as her father, Edward Butera. The collection included a video of the team singing “Help” by the Beatles together. Additionally, the party looked to include games and plenty of laughs.

“Nothing was ever as loud … sending you all so much love. I hope you feel it from here,” she wrote in the caption.

In one Instagram Stories video, which fans reshared on Twitter, Ariana and her team harmonized on another rendition of “FourFiveSeconds.” Holly recorded the clip as she and her friends sat around a table, with Jim playing the tune on guitar. Just like on Nov. 22’s show, the singers provided incredible harmony.

Ariana has shown nothing but love for her teammates all season long. Holly and Sasha told People earlier in November that the first-time coach has been incredibly kind to them.

“The most unexpected thing about Ariana, to me, is just how big her heart is,” Holly said. “You know, she’s always checking on us. We got the chance to meet some of her close family members and friends, and she’s so loving to everyone.”

Sasha added that Ariana has made the singing competition very “comfortable” for her team.

“She’s so incredibly caring about our vocal health, our song choices, and our experiences in life. She’s also so hilarious, and she’s so much fun to be around,” Sasha explained. “I think all of team Ariana can agree that we are so, so lucky that she turned for us and that we chose her, ’cause she’s a phenomenal person.”

Tune in to The Voice on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 8 p.m. on NBC.
