When The Voice returns for its 27th season next spring, Kelsea Ballerini will appear as a coach. She will join former coach Adam Levine, and returning coaches Michael Bublé and John Legend for the singing competition show.

Ballerini appeared on season 16 of the show as a battle advisor, and filled in for Kelly Clarkson in season 20.

“I am so beyond exciting to be joining The Voice next year,” she says. “Let’s go team Kelsea!”

In April, Ballerini hosted the CMT Music Awards for the fourth time. She is currently in the studio, creating the follow-up to her Grammy, ACM and CMA-nominated Rolling Up The Welcome Mat EP.

The Voice will return this fall for season 26, with coaches Bublé, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani.
