The competition to find The Voice of season 27 entered the Battle Rounds on Monday night.
Coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine are seated in the red chairs this season, which has already offered some shining moments. Viewers have watched as Levine returned to the NBC reality competition for the first time since 2019, when he took a break to spend time with his family. While his friendly rival Blake Shelton isn’t on the panel anymore, the other coaches are keeping him on his toes.
Country star Ballerini, meanwhile, had served as a mentor before and filled in for coach Kelly Clarkson, but this is her inaugural season as a coach — with a spinning chair, that is. Ballerini was the “fifth coach” in season 15 for the competition’s “Comeback Stage” digital series, in which she met with six Blind Auditions artists who didn’t get chair turns and competed for a spot in the top 13 Live Shows.

Former coach Reba McEntire is cheering on Ballerini, who found a note from McEntire in the Feb. 3 premiere. “Dear Kelsea, I heard you would be the new coach this season, and I’m just so excited for you,” the “Fancy” artist wrote. “It’s up to you to keep country alive on the show, and I know you’ll do a terrific job.” She advised Ballerini to “go out there and show those boys who’s the boss.”
The four coaches have assembled their teams of 12 and are taking them through Battle Rounds. The contestants who made the cut are being advised by recognizable names in the Battles, including Cynthia Erivo (Team Bublé), Little Big Town (Team Kelsea), Coco Jones (Team Legend), and Kate Hudson (Team Adam).
