Everyone has been dying to find out exactly what the country star and coach had planned for the 11th season of NBC’s The Voice, and now he finally spills the beans.
As it was announced yesterday, the upcoming season of The Voice was said to be featuring famed artists like Joan Jett and Bette Midler (among others) to help mentor the various teams, but Blake Shelton had been admittedly silent about who was going to be standing by his side.
Now, just hours after announcing a second free concert for his beloved fans, the country crooner gushed on Twitter about his mentor for the new season and confirmed the inevitable!
Well I was hoping to have a photo to go with this but here’s the deal. I want y’all to guess who my mentor for this season is. Go!!!
