Reba McEntire Joins ‘The Voice’ For Season 24 with Coaches John Legend, Niall Horan and Gwen Stefani

Country superstar Reba McEntire joins “The Voice” for Season 24, replacing long-time coach Blake Shelton. She will join coaches John Legend, Niall Horan and Gwen Stefani in the red chairs. The news was announced at NBC’s 2023 upfront presentation. NBC’s four-time Emmy Award-winning reality competition series returns with superstar coaches for season 24, airing Fall 2023.

Season 23 live shows of “The Voice” kick off tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a performance-packed two-hour semi-final. The top 8 artists will perform live for the first time in front of coaches for their chance at a spot in the finale. Viewers will vote for their favorite artist in real-time, and the results will be revealed at the end of the show.

The show’s innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.

During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don’t get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist’s voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach’s chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artists to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. The artists’ family and friends watch their Blind Auditions from side stage with host Carson Daly, cheering on their loved ones and hoping for a coveted chair turn.

“The Voice” airs Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC.
