Reba McEntire Returns as Coach for The Voice Season 28

Reba McEntire initially hesitated to become a coach on NBC's The Voice because she didn't want to discourage contestants by telling them they might not succeed, famously saying she couldn't tell anyone to 'give up your day job.' She first declined the role when the show debuted but eventually joined as a coach in season 24 after serving as an advisor multiple times. McEntire has highlighted that the coaching style on the show is supportive and encouraging, emphasizing that she and the other coaches—Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, and Niall Horan—focus on lifting up contestants rather than harsh criticism. After coaching for three consecutive seasons and taking a break, she is set to return for season 28, which premieres this fall alongside the second season of her sitcom, Happy's Place. McEntire also recently celebrated 50 years in country music and hosted her 18th ACM Awards, showcasing her busy and successful career. Her return to The Voice is welcomed by fans who appreciate her kind and uplifting coaching approach.
