Reba McEntire To Return To 'The Voice' In Upcoming Season — What We Know

Reba McEntire will return to The Voice alongside fellow returning coaches Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, NBC revealed on Monday morning (May 12).

McEntire served as a coach for the first time in 2023, after fellow Oklahoma-born country artist Blake Shelton’s departure from the show. McEntire previously served as a Battle Advisor and Mega Mentor on The Voice. The “I’m A Survivor” superstar is one of several country artists to take a seat in an iconic red chair on the competition show, along with Shelton, duo Dan + Shay and current coach Kelsea Ballerini. McEntire left a heartfelt, handwritten note and a gift for Ballerini when she made her debut as a coach this season.

“I love to encourage,” McEntire said of her experience on The Voice in a recent interview with iHeartCountry. “I can’t tell anybody, ‘Don’t do this. Go get a job. You’re not suited for this.’ But the way that we get to do the – I don’t say critique – advice, it’s helpful advice. It’s not tear-down. We want to lift up. We want to inspire. We want to encourage, not tear down. They get enough of that out there in the world.”

McEntire will return as a coach on The Voice — along with Horan, Snoop Dogg and Bublé — in the show’s 28th season. The season is set to kick off this fall. The premiere date has not been announced as of publication time.
