As Blake Shelton steps away from his iconic red chair after an extraordinary 23-season run, The Voice is ushering in a new era—and Reba McEntire is ready to make it unforgettable. Taking over such a legendary role is no small task, but for fans of Reba and the show alike, her arrival signals an exciting shake-up.
McEntire shared that her decision to step into the coaching role was fueled by her love for working with gifted artists. Having previously served as a Mega Mentor and battle adviser, she found inspiration in being surrounded by raw talent and creative energy. After nearly five decades in the music industry, she’s eager to pass along the wisdom she’s gained.
Replacing the show’s most successful coach doesn’t intimidate her. In fact, Reba teased that she’s coming in with a completely new strategy—one The Voice has never seen before. While she’s keeping the details under wraps, the promise alone has fans buzzing.
Reba also plans to bring extra flair to the stage, joking that she’ll need to “razzle-dazzle” to keep up with fashion-forward coaches like Gwen Stefani. Viewers can expect bold looks to match her bold approach.
Though she never got the chance to coach alongside Shelton, McEntire expressed nothing but admiration for him, acknowledging his lasting impact on the show and its audience.
Joining John Legend, Niall Horan, and Gwen Stefani for Season 24, Reba McEntire is poised to bring heart, experience, and star power to The Voice. With fierce competition and unforgettable performances ahead, this fall is shaping up to be one of the show’s most exciting seasons yet.
