Ariana Grande Will Join ‘The Voice’ as a Coach During the Fall 2021 Season

Ariana Grande has a new job. The multi-platinum pop singer announced today on Instagram that she will be replacing Nick Jonas as a coach on The Voice starting with season 21 this Fall.

“Surprise !!! i am beyond thrilled, honored, excited to be joining @kellyclarkson @johnlegend @blakeshelton next season ~ season 21 of @nbcthevoice ! 🤍 @nickjonas we will miss you,” Grande wrote today on social media. In an official release from NBC, she added, “I have been a huge fan of the show for such a long time. I can’t wait to go head-to-head with the incredible coaches, get to know these new artists and help to take their craft to the next level.”

NBC’s official statement about Grande’s hiring adds, “As an undeniable force in pop music, Ariana’s inimitable success in the music industry is extraordinary. We were thrilled to learn that she is a true fan of The Voice and know that this enthusiasm will add to her impact as a dynamic coach.

There’s no word on any other changes to next season’s coaching or advising panel aside from the addition of Grande. Nick Jonas joined The Voice during Season 18, replacing Gwen Stefani during her Las Vegas residency. Stefani returned for season 19, but Jonas replaced her once again for season 20, which is currently under way.
