See you all this Fall!” she tweeted on Monday. But country music icon McEntire is no stranger to the show. She served as the Mega Mentor for contestants during Season 23 — which is currently underway — and was also a Battle Advisor to Team Blake back in Season 1. “It’s so much fun to be back on ‘The Voice’ again,” McEntire said about being a Mega Mentor last month on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”“It’s always a lot of fun to give advice because I study people when they perform, and I want to be touched when they’re singing to me,” she added.The “Does He Love You” singer claimed she was asked to be a coach on the show when it first started way back in 2011.“I got [a look at] the Holland version of ‘The Voice.’ They sent it to me and I said, ‘I can’t see me doing that,'” she told Entertainment Tonight in February, reasoning that she couldn’t see herself being tied down to one project.

Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, and John Legend will also return to their red chairs to round out the upcoming season’s coaches.There’s a new Coach in town!
