Wynonna Judd is slated to become the latest country music superstar to join The Voice, serving as this season’s Mega Mentor, first-time coach Reba McEntire revealed on Tuesday (October 31). The Not That Fancy icon said that Judd “is the perfect person for this and I can’t wait for you to see all the great advice she gives to these talented artists.”
McEntire served as Mega Mentor last season, in Blake Shelton’s final season of the smash-hit NBC competition series. She also served as Battle Advisor during the first season of the show in 2011. McEntire — who joins the show in her inaugural coaching season alongside Gwen Stefani, Niall Horan and John Legend — said last season that it’s “always a lot of fun to give advice because I study people when they perform, and I wanna be touched when they’re singing to me.” Shelton said he’d “been wrestling” with his decision to leave The Voice after 12 years, and said it has “changed my life in every way for the better and it will always feel like home to me.”
Next, Dan + Shay are set to join The Voice as the show’s first-ever coaching duo. Watch McEntire reveal Judd as this season’s Mega Mentor here:
