McEntire is no stranger to helping The Voice contestants reach their fullest potential. She appeared as a battle advisor for Team Blake during the show’s inaugural season, so it’s only fitting for her to return for Shelton’s final season as a coach.

This time around, she’s joining the show as a mega mentor, but what does this role entail? She’ll be in charge of mentoring the remaining artists who have made it through the Battle Rounds, as each team prepares for the Knockouts taking place on April 17.

Season 23 of The Voice will premiere on NBC on March 6 and it’s bringing many format changes our way. Most notably, the show will introduce Playoff Pass during the Battle Rounds, allowing both artists in a battle to advance.

The artists in the Knockouts will be allowed to choose their own songs and perform them individually in front of the other competitors, while the Playoffs will make a comeback and feature 20 artists, allowing coaches to vote for two each to make it to the semi-finals.

McEntire hosted the ceremony on several occasions during the ‘90s and made a comeback last year when she shared the hosting duties with Carrie Underwood and Dolly Parton. She’s excited to do it again, with Rucker by her side.

“I’m thrilled to be back hosting the CMA Awards and even more thrilled that I get to share the stage with Darius Rucker. We’re looking forward to a night of celebrating great country music and hope you’ll tune in and watch!” said McEntire in a statement.

Rucker called the hosting gig “an absolute honor”, especially since he’s doing it by McEntire’s side, and said he’s looking forward to celebrating this year in country music.

The CMA Awards will take place on November 11th, in Nashville, Tennessee. Miranda Lambert topped the list of nominees, with a total of seven nods.

Reba McEntire stepped in as a host for the 17th time, while celebrities like football player Drew Brees, alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn, and actor Ashton Kutcher served as presenters.

The star of the night was undoubtedly Miranda Lambert, who won two awards and broke the records for most Academy of Country Music Awards wins in history. Lambert was named Female Vocalist of the Year for the ninth consecutive time; she also received the  Song of the Year award for “Tin Man.”
