Taylor Swift returned to The Voice on Tuesday night to perform "Blank Space," and she was as spectacular and crazy as ever. Two things we loved during the performance: She walked over to Blake Shelton's chair and gave him a little kick, and she grabbed a man in the audience, and sang to him as he stood in complete awe.

Then there was this beautiful interaction:

"You're scaring me," Carson Daly said.

"I scare myself," Swift responded.

Swift's return was by far the biggest event of the night.

To no one's surprise, Adam Levine's three performers -- Matt McAndrew, Chris Jamison and DaNica Shirey -- were saved at the beginning of the show. Go Team Adam.

Bottom 3 singers

Reagan James

Song: "I'm Like a Bird" by Nelly Furtado

This was not her best performance. During the performance, Shelton certainly didn't look amused. But he complimented her in his comments after the song. "The thing that I love about Reagan is the fact that she just turned 16 a couple weeks ago. The fact that she is strong enough and brave enough to be different, that's what I admire the most," he says. "You have a friend for life in me." Aww!

Anita Antoinette

Song: "The Remedy" by Jason Mraz

This was not her best performance, either. It was a strange song for Antoinette to select for her last attempt to be saved instantly. We've been a fan of this singer from the beginning, but her performances this week weren't her strongest. Regardless, she's still super cool. As Gwen Stefani said, "You are an incredible person. You have something really deep inside you. You care so much about music and about life. I've learned so much from you. I know you do worry and you care so much, and that's what makes a great artist."

Ryan Sill

Song: "Collide" by Howie Day

Hey, that was pretty good! This is two weeks in a row that Sill has been in the bottom three, but after this performance, we think he should stick around. Like the coaches said Tuesday night, he has really grown throughout this season, and perhaps he'll continue to improve. Daly commented that the ladies love Sill, Stefani specifically. "Ryan, you deserve to be here. You are an incredible singer. You are a beautiful person. Please save this guy," she pleads. Well, if you say so!

I ran to my car. my car was locked. so I ran back in the house and back out to the car to get my phone to save @ryansill #TheVoiceSaveRyan— Kristina Lachaga (@kristinalachaga) November 26, 2014

Who was saved? Ryan Sill, with 47% of the votes

It's sad to see Antoinette go because she was one of the more unique singers this year. We hope Sill can continue to improve, and America won't regret saving him two weeks in a row. To say goodbye to Antoinette, let's take a look at her blind audition that made us fall in love with the singer all those weeks ago:
