Urban is no stranger to The Voice viewers—he previously joined coach Blake Shelton as an adviser in Season 15 and he’s finally ready to take on a bigger role. He’s definitely up for the challenge since he already served as a coach on several seasons of the Australian version of The Voice. He also judged several seasons of American Idol between 2013 and 2016, while this singing competition show still aired on Fox.

The 25th season of The Voice kicked off on February 26, with Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay, John Legend, and Reba McEntire serving as coaches. Urban will join them on April 8, and it will be up to him to mentor the remaining artists who have made it through the battle rounds.

The Voice won’t be the only project keeping Urban busy this year. He’s also gearing up for the release of his 12th studio album, which he promoted with previously released singles “Straight Line” and “Messed Up As Me”.

Dan + Shay are not newcomers to The Voice universe. They previously served as Blake Shelton’s Battle Advisors in Season 20, but they’ll have a much bigger role and coach new contestants to victory in Season 25.

The Voice went through a major overhaul this season after long-time coach Blake Shelton exited the series after 23 seasons. Reba McEntire took his spot, and she’ll be back for Season 25 with several returning coaches.

Dan + Shay will actually be the only first-time coaches next season since John Legend is set to return for his ninth season, while Chance the Rapper made his coaching debut in Season 23.

Dan + Shay are a worthy addition to the coaching panel since they won three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best country duo/group performance for the songs “Tequila”, “Speechless”, and “10,000 Hours” (with Justin Bieber). They haven’t released any new solo music since their 2021 album Good Things, but they collaborated with Charlie Puth on the song “That’s Not How This Works” earlier this year.

McEntire is not a The Voice newbie, and she lent advice to competing artists on several occasions in the past. She’s currently serving as the show’s “mega mentor”, but we’ve also seen her serve as an advisor to Shelton’s team during the show’s debut season.

McEntire is excited to take on the bigger role as the show progresses and join the coaches Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, and John Legend in Season 24.

“I’m looking forward to being here with all of y’all. You’ve treated me so nicely. I appreciate the hospitality so much that you showed me earlier. And to be able to come in and form my team, I’m so looking forward to it,” she said during her latest appearance on the show.

Blake Shelton served as the coach since the very first season of The Voice, and he’s excited to see Reba McEntire take his seat. He’ll depart after the current 23rd season of the hit singing competition show, which premiered on NBC back in March.

The “Thank U, Next” singer said she’s thrilled, honored, and excited to become a part of this show and join her fellow coaches Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend. “I’m so honored and excited to join The Voice family! I have been a huge fan of the show for such a long time. I can’t wait to go head-to-head with the incredible coaches, get to know these new artists, and help to take their craft to the next level,” said Grande in a statement.

Jonas expressed his support for Grande by congratulating her on Twitter and writing, “you’re going to kill it next season! Welcome to the family.”

Jonas will serve as one of the coaches until the end of the current season, while Grande is expected to replace him when The Voice returns for Season 21 this fall.

Meredith Ahr, president of alternative and reality group for NBC Entertainment, announced Jonas’s appointment and explained why they feel he’s the perfect person for the job.

“As a member of one of the hottest pop groups, Nick’s success in navigating all aspects of the music industry is exceptional. We were so impressed by his innate musicality, technical aptitude and passion that he brought to Songland earlier this year and know he will be an incredible fit as a coach on The Voice,” said Ahr in a statement.

Nick Jonas discussed the amazing news during a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and seemed really grateful for this amazing opportunity. He described his fellow coaches as an “awesome group of individuals” and said he’s looking forward to helping young artists find their unique voices.

But leave he did, and as he told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, it had a lot to do with his desire to spend more time with his young daughters Gio Grace and Dusty Rose, ages 3 and 1 respectively.

“I really do miss it,” Levine said about The Voice. “I love the people that I met and worked with.” But according to him, the amount of work was just too much for him to juggle with his desire to spend more time with his family.

“I do miss it but I don’t miss how much I had to work. I was constantly working for so many years — very lucky, very fortunate, very bless and all that — but  to just be able to stop in this moment to spend time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever. Now I’m a stay-at-home dad. I just stay at home and do very little.”

But don’t worry, Levine still intends to pursue his work with Maroon 5. In fact, he told Ellen there’s a new tour in sight, and we’ll be sure to give you more details as they become available!

Swift will be joining the current lineup of coaches which includes Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and John Legend. The “Shake It Off” singer previously appeared in the Mega position back in 2014. John Legend and Blake Shelton announced the news that Swift will be reprising her role in a short promotional video.

“I think the person’s one of the most successful people in music,” Legend says. Shelton quips: “Yeah, but I can’t be because I’m a coach.” 

Swift then walks out of a trailer and the judges realize who this year’s “Mega Mentor” will be. You can watch the promotional clip here:

Shelton also explained in a statement to People why Swift is the perfect star for the role. In the statement, he references her earlier appearance on the show.

“The first season that she came on, she instantly knew what to say, knew what her job was and was great at it,” he said. “This season, she brings even more experience to the table. It’s no accident that she’s the biggest star in the world. She’s not only talented, but she’s really smart. So it’s fun to work with.”

Season 17 of The Voice premieres September 23.

The former No Doubt singer discussed her return to The Voice in a recent interview on The Talk and admitted she hasn’t spoken about it any sooner because the whole thing was a huge shock.

“Adam‘s actually the first person to reach out to me when they were trying to pitch me the show, he texted me out of nowhere, and I didn’t even really know him. To think that he’s not going to be there is like bittersweet… But it’s going to be fun, it’s going to be exciting,” said the singer.

Gwen Stefani served as a full-time coach on several seasons of The Voice, but hasn’t returned to this show since 2017. She’ll join Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend when this singing competition series returns for Season 17.
