As fans tuned into The Voice on May 12, 2025, for the first live shows of Season 27, NBC surprised them with another headline-making reveal: the all-star coaching panel for Season 28. Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, and Niall Horan will all be taking their seats this fall — a lineup already being hailed as one of the most iconic in recent Voice history.
The announcement sent social media into a frenzy within minutes. Fans erupted with comments like, “SCREAMING BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST ICONIC GROUP YET!!!!” and “Snoop 🔥 Reba 🔥 Niall 🔥 YAAS ❤️ YAAS ❤️YAAS ❤️ So Hyped 😍.” One especially thrilled viewer added, “Niall Horan & Michael Bublé on THE SAME season was notttt on my 2025 bingo card!!! Eek! This is very yay!!!🙌🏼✨👏🏼🤩”
Niall Horan’s Return Delights Fans — and Fellow Coaches
The return of Niall Horan is especially exciting for many viewers. The former One Direction star previously served as a coach in Seasons 23 and 24 — and won both — before stepping away in 2024 to embark on a world tour. Fans have long praised his mentorship style and genuine chemistry with contestants. His comeback marks not just a strategic boost for The Voice, but an emotional moment for fans still mourning the tragic loss of Liam Payne, Horan’s bandmate, in October 2024.
Michael Bublé, who has grown into a fan-favorite coach himself, joined in on the fun with a playful social media post, writing, “My favourite Horan is back!! It’s the return of the Irish king! The world is healing.”
Michael Bublé’s Passion for ‘The Voice’
Bublé, who initially declined offers to join The Voice over 15 times, has now embraced the role wholeheartedly. Speaking with People, he described coaching on the show as “the best job I’ve ever had.” His enthusiasm for mentoring young talent shines through — especially after his Season 26 win with Sofronio Vasquez.
“There’s a reason why The Voice remains such a success after so many years,” Bublé said. “It really is about the artists. The talent on this show is incredible, and it’s been such a beautiful experience to be a part of the process.”
His return for Season 28 will mark his third consecutive appearance as a coach — a rare feat in recent seasons and a testament to how deeply he’s embraced the show.
A Blockbuster Panel with Heart and Star Power
With Snoop Dogg’s charisma, Reba McEntire’s country legend status, Michael Bublé’s smooth charm, and Niall Horan’s international fanbase and coaching prowess, Season 28 is already shaping up to be one of the most dynamic yet. The chemistry among these four — three of whom previously worked together on Season 26 — is expected to translate into lively competition, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable performances.
As the curtain begins to fall on Season 27, excitement for the fall is already sky-high. With this coaching dream team, The Voice continues to prove why it remains one of the most beloved singing competitions on television.
