After eight consecutive seasons as a full-time coach, Kelly Clarkson is walking away from “The Voice” — for now, at least.
NBC revealed on Monday that pop musician Camila Cabello will replace the Grammy winner and talk-show host as a judge on the 22nd season of the competition program. Pop superstar Ariana Grande is also leaving “The Voice” after one season.
Joining Cabello on this season’s celebrity panel are returning coaches John Legend, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, who has served as a “Voice” judge sporadically since 2014. Stefani’s return comes nearly a year after the “No Doubt” singer and Shelton tied the knot in Oklahoma.
Since 2018, Clarkson has been a mainstay on the ever-revolving panel of “Voice” judges. She boasts the third-longest stint on the TV franchise, behind only original coaches Shelton and Adam Levine.
