Since the first season of The Voice aired on American television, the singing competition has captivated audiences with the ambition and talent of its contestants. But there is another major factor behind the show's enormous popularity with viewers.
Each season of The Voice features a new lineup of talented and charismatic coaches. For example, in the upcoming twenty-fifth season, viewers will be treated to the chemistry of Reba McEntire, John Legend, Chance the Rapper and Dan + Shay. As for season 26, the coaches have yet to be announced. But considering that Niall Horan is on tour, Reba might be busy with a sitcom, and Gwen Stefani has expressed a desire to take a break from the show, it's possible to rule them out, so...
Here are our five coach predictions for the next season of The Voice.
John Legend
Currently, John Legend is the longest-tenured coach on The Voice, having appeared on nine seasons of the singing competition when Season 25 premieres. Season 26 will be Legend's tenth, which is a nice number. More importantly, he's immensely beloved by the audience and extremely popular with the contestants, who would love to see him back on the show.
Nick Jonas
Having appeared on two seasons of The Voice, Nick Jonas has proven himself to be a worthy and capable coach. Plus, with the Jonas Brothers releasing a new album in 2023, they are once again the talk of the town, so viewers would be thrilled to see Nick reprise his coaching role on Season 26 of The Voice.
Chance the Rapper
The Season 23 alum quickly became a favorite among The Voice fans. His charisma and expertise earned him the adoration of the viewers and the respect of the contestants. Now that Chance the Rapper is back for Season 25, viewers are eager to see him stick around for the next installment. After all, he can build chemistry with anyone and it's always fascinating to watch.
Camila Cabello
Camila has only been on one season of The Voice so far. However, she's very popular with the viewers, who enjoy the energy she brings to the table, or rather, the spinning chair. Plus, Cabello would be a youngblood coach on the show, which could potentially shake things up and bring in new viewers.
Dan + Shay
This country duo appeared in Season 24 as Niall Horan's part-time replacement and won over audiences with their electrifying dynamic and musical prowess. Naturally, fans would love to see them stick around after the upcoming twenty-fifth installment to coach the contestants in Season 26.
Season 25 of The Voice will premiere on February 26.
