Beloved country singer and sitcom actress Reba McEntire<\/a><\/strong>, 70, is opening up about being a coach on the upcoming 28th season of the hit NBC competition series, The Voice<\/a>, which begins airing on September 22.<\/p>\n Us Weekly reported<\/a> that McEntire and the show’s other coaches, Niall Horan<\/strong>,\u00a0Snoop Dogg<\/strong>, and\u00a0Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/strong>,\u00a0discussed their dynamic in a pre-season clip<\/a>. McEntire shared how she befriended each of her co-stars.<\/p>\n “I met [Snoop] on a plane. We were coming back from Africa or Amsterdam. We met, took a picture together. I met [Bubl\u00e9] at Celebrity Fight Night in Phoenix and then being a mentor on\u00a0The Voice, I met [Horan] and we hit it off,” said McEntire during the clip, which was in promotion of The Voice Season 28.<\/p>\n Horan, who was famously a member of One Direction<\/a>, said he was happy to co-star with McEntire, who became a coach during Season 24. Horan was a coach in the show’s 23rd and 24th seasons.<\/p>\n “I was so happy when you were coming on season 24 because at that point, I don\u2019t think you had signed up to do it. You were just coming on to mentor and then Blake [Shelton] left and thank God you came. It was so fun,” said Horan to McEntire.<\/p>\n Snoop Dogg also said he immediately felt connected to his Season 28 co-stars.<\/p>\n “I think it was the first moment for me. I\u2019m one of those kinds of guys where the spirit has to connect instantly. As soon as I walked through the room, as soon as we sat down next to each other, you could feel it. It\u2019s in the air,” said the rapper.<\/p>\n After joining The Voice as a coach for the show’s 24th season, McEntire remained in the role for Season 25 and Season 26.<\/p>\n During a May 2025 interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers,<\/a> McEntire said she wasn’t interested in being a coach for The Voice when it premiered in 2011. According to the singer, she originally turned down the position because she didn’t want to be a source of negativity.<\/p>\n “I was truly dreading it at first because I don’t want to tell anybody that they suck. I passed on it years ago when it came over from Holland. And I said, ‘I can’t tell somebody don’t give up your day job,'” said McEntire during the interview.<\/p>\n She then said she believes she and her fellow Season 28 coaches are encouraging.<\/p>\n “Everyone who is coming back, which is myself, Snoop, Michael, Niall, we’re nice people. We encourage. We lift up,” said the Reba star. <\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 8, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
