During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday (May 13), Reba McEntire revealed that she initially hesitated to join The Voice as a coach, having turned down the offer in the past due to not wanting to critique contestants harshly. “I was really dreading it at first because I don’t want to tell anybody they suck,” said McEntire. The 70-year-old country music superstar is set to return for season 28 of the singing competition show later this year with fellow coaches Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, and Niall Horan. “We’re nice people,” she said of the coaching crew. “We encourage. We lift up.” Despite her busy schedule with The Voice, acting on the sitcom Happy’s Place, and hosting the 2025 ACM Awards, McEntire continues to celebrate her remarkable 50-year career in country music, recently releasing a new single titled “Trailblazer” featuring Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson.
