Sanford’s own Britton Buchanan was with family and friends in Sanford Monday night at a viewing party of his performance on The Voice.
Buchanan won his battle round, of course (read our full recap here), and the party went nuts when Alicia Keys made her decision.
Watch above (video used with permission by Kimberly Nation), and then read the progression as the nation professed its loved for the young man on Twitter last night.
I cannot wait to keep working on @BrittonBuchanan’s artistry but need to say THANK YOU to @JaclynLovey for reminding us all of the purity in this world 🙏🏽 #VoiceBattles
