As sad as I am to see Nick Jonas go, I’m thrilled to say Ariana Grande will be The Voice‘s newest judge.  Ariana will join Blake Shelton, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson next season.

A source says, “Ariana is a huge fan of The Voice and her management team has been negotiating to get her on the show for a while.  She is replacing Nick Jonas, who is a [coach] on the current season, but he isn’t leaving for good. Nick will remain on rotation with other stars that have appeared on the show. The chances are he will be back soon.”

Ariana announced the exciting news on Instagram, “Surprise !!! I am beyond thrilled, honored, excited to be joining @kellyclarkson @johnlegend @blakeshelton next season ~ season 21 of @nbcthevoice ! @nickjonas we will miss you,” she writes.

In a statement Ariana shares, “I’m so honored and excited to join ‘The Voice’ family! I have been a huge fan of the show for such a long time.”  And what a sweet welcome from coach John Legend who tweeted, “So excited to welcome Ariana to our Voice family!!”

 

 

Ariana performed Into You on The Voice back in 2016.  Check out her performance below.
