Taylor Swift will be returning to “The Voice” as the Mega Mentor
for this fall’s seventeenth season, NBC has announced.
Swift will work with coaches John Legend, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and Gwen
Stefani and their singers to prepare them for the Knockout Round, according to
an NBC press release.
Swift served as a Mega Mentor on Season 7 of “The Voice” and also
performed her single “ME!” with Brendon Urie on the Season 16 finale.
The coaches will still choose the winners of the Knockout Rounds to
determine who will make it to the Live Performance Shows.
This season, “The Voice” only gives each coach one chance to
steal singers who the coaches do not select.
Season 17 of “The Voice” will premiere September 23 at 8PM ET/PT
on NBC.
Lover, Swift’s seventh studio album, released last month with a music video
for the title track.
Her Mega Mentor credentials include 10 Grammys, 23 American Music Awards,
23 Billboard Music Awards and 400 total career awards.
She is performing in the film adaptation of “Cats” due in
theaters Dec. 20.
