His run on the show didn't last long.

In late December, 'X Factor' winner Tate Stevens announced that he would be moving his family to Nashville to work on his country music career. It looks like Stevens has arrived in Music City and is already working hard, according to a photo that he shared this week.

Country songbird LeAnn Rimes is reportedly back in the running as a possible judge on  the reality competition 'The X Factor.'

Remember, Blake Shelton and his pop-country protege Cassadee Pope notched the Season 3 win on 'The Voice.'
