NBC announced on Tuesday that the iconic musician had been added to the panel, alongside two returning coaches and a newcomer.<\/p>\n
Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine will return to their red chairs for the milestone season.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Country singer Riley Green is also making his debut on the show as a first-time coach.<\/p>\n
This will also be the first time that Queen Latifah serves as a coach on The Voice.<\/p>\n
The rap star previously appeared as a guest judge on other competition series, like America\u2019s Got Talent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Season 30 premieres this fall and will also feature special appearances from past coaches and mentors.<\/p>\n
Riley\u2019s addition is a drastic shakeup to the panel, which previously had Reba McEntire, Kelsea Ballerini, and Blake Shelton as the show\u2019s country music experts.<\/p>\n
Kelly seemed very pleased with the selection as she gushed about the ACM Award winner in an Instagram video.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was stoked when I heard you were gonna be a coach because actually I\u2019m a superfan of your music, you\u2019re so good.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cYou probably know because I\u2019ve covered your songs, anyway big fan but needless to say, fan and all it\u2019s a competition\u2026team Kelly\u2019s going to whoop that a**,\u201d she joked in the clip.<\/p>\n
Kelly will be tough competition as she currently holds the record for the most wins by a female coach.<\/p>\n
She is also devoting more focus to The Voice, as she officially leaves her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, around the same time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Adam has nabbed four wins in his 18 seasons on the show, including the recently concluded Season 29, which he coached with Kelly and John Legend.<\/p>\n
While many fans are excited to see Riley and Queen Latifah on the upcoming season, this wasn\u2019t the cast that the network initially hoped for.<\/p>\n
A production source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that NBC ideally wanted Blake and Gwen to return as coaches.<\/p>\n
Blake left The Voice in May 2023 after 12 years and 23 seasons as a coach on the show.<\/p>\n
He met his wife, Gwen, while they both were coaches on Season 7, which taped in April 2014.<\/p>\n
Gwen went on to coach seven more seasons and won the show once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
