I didn't see this coming!
Surprise! Ariana Grande Is Going to Be a Judge on ‘The Voice’ Next Season
Ariana Grande is going to be a judge on The Voice next season, the pop singer revealed on Instagram March 30.
“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 on Instagram alongside a photo of herself sitting in an iconic Voice chair.
Per Grande's IG, she'll be replacing Nick Jonas, who's serving as a judge on the current season of The Voice.
Fans of the “34+35” singer, naturally, are freaking out over this news. “Imagine you’re on stage. singing at the voice. ariana is the FIRST person to turn her chair for you. HOLY SHIT,” one fan tweeted.
“OMG Ariana’s rly gonna be a judge on the voice wtf. what beautiful news,” posted another alongside several crying emoji. Meanwhile, a third joked, “I’m crying bc ariana pressing the buzzer for everyone bc she gonna feel bad.”

How Ariana Grande managed to fit this into her schedule is a mystery. The 27-year-old just released her sixth studio album, Positions, in October, which so far has churned out two massive hits: the title track and “34+35.” With coronavirus restrictions still in flux, it's unclear whether a tour is coming.
Grande joins an impressive roster of Voice judges. Past artists who've had chairs on the show include Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, Shakira, Usher, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, and Gwen Stefani.
Sometimes when singers work together on The Voice, a collaboration follows. Is a Kelly Clarkson–Ariana Grande banger in our future? Or a tearjerker Grande–John Legend moment? Will she hop on a Blake Shelton song?! My mind is spinning…just like Grande will be in that chair come next season!
Does this mean I'm going to start watching The Voice? Yeah, I'm going to start watching The Voice.
