Meet The Battle Advisors For Season 28 Of The Voice
As soon as the blind auditions for Season 28 of The Voice ended on October 7, the show named its four battle advisors for the season.
The list of names includes some familiar faces that longtime Voice fans will recognize. That’s because two of this season’s battle advisors are former coaches!
Coaches Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Michael Bublé have assembled a group of notable performers to advise Season 28’s talented contestants.
Only one country artist is among this season’s advisors. But surprisingly, she isn’t helping the show’s country queen, Reba.
Instead, The Voice revealed that country singer and former Voice coach Kelsea Ballerini will serve as the battle advisor for Team Bublé.

So if Ballerini isn’t helping Team Reba, who is? McEntire’s battle advisor is another former Voice coach, but he isn’t a country artist.
Much to Voice fans’ surprise, it was announced that two-time coach Nick Jonas is returning to the show to advise McEntire’s team!
Although McEntire and Jonas have never appeared on The Voice at the same time, they have worked together in the past. McEntire played Annie in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway in 2001. That’s when Jonas made his Broadway debut in the musical as “Little Jake.”
The pair reunited at the iHeart Radio Music Awards in 2015, when they posed for a photo with Boy George.

Niall Horan brought in one of his best friends, Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi, to serve as his battle advisor for Season 28 of The Voice.
As for Snoop Dogg (vying for his first win this season), he is welcoming pop superstar Lizzo to the Voice to help his team!
A HUGE Change Is Coming To The Voice Battles This Season…
The advisors for Season 28 of The Voice will help the contestants prepare for a battle round unlike any other. That’s because a huge change is coming to the battles that has the power to seriously shake things up.
A few weeks ago, The Voice unveiled a series of new rules that will go into effect during Season 28. One of those, the “Carson Callback,” already came into play during the blind auditions. The Carson Callback allowed host Carson Daly to save one contestant who didn’t get any chairs to turn, and they got to return for a second audition.
Another alteration is being implemented during the battles that could seriously change the game. Unlike past seasons, when the Voice coaches selected their contestants’ battle partners, the contestants will now choose their own partners.
The first Voice battles for Season 28 will air on Monday, October 13. Tune in then to watch this season’s battle advisors in action!
In the meantime, look below to watch one of the standout auditions from the season.
