WASHINGTON (TND) — "The Voice" is getting another country legend for season 24.
Reba McEntire will replace Blake Shelton as a coach for the singing competition.
She's currently a"Mega Mentor"and offers advice to competing artists.
Shelton has been a coach on the show since its premiere in 2011.
This show has changed my life in every way for the better and it will always feel like home to me,” the country music star said in a statement. He said he had been “wrestling with this for a while.”
The show is also where Shelton met his wife, Gwen Stefani. The pop star and “No Doubt” frontwoman joined the show in 2014 for its seventh season and the pair began dating the next year.
Stefani, Legend and Cabello will also vacate their seats next season, replaced by Kelly Clarkson — another frequent judge — and first-timers Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper.
