Keith Urban<\/a> <\/strong>is joining The Voice<\/em> <\/a>as the new mega mentor for season 25.<\/p>\n

Urban, 56, is replacing Wynonna Judd<\/strong>, who served as a mega mentor for season 24. The four-time Grammy winner is joining coaches Chance the Rapper<\/strong>, Dan + Shay<\/strong>, John Legend<\/strong> and Reba McEntire<\/strong><\/a> for the current season, which premiered February 26 on NBC.<\/p>\n

The Voice<\/em> welcomed the \u201cBrown Eyes Baby\u201d singer on Instagram<\/a>, captioning a photo, \u201cLet\u2019s hear it for #TheVoice Mega Mentor Keith Urban.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous mega mentors include Legend, 45, McEntire, 68 and Gwen Stefani<\/strong>, all of whom became full-time coaches. Taylor Swift<\/strong>, Mariah Carey,<\/strong> Ed Sheeran<\/strong>, Garth Brooks<\/strong>, Rihanna<\/strong> and Dolly Parton<\/strong> have also served as mentors. Meanwhile, Usher<\/strong>, CeeLo Green<\/strong>\u00a0and Christina Aguilera<\/strong> returned to mentor after their coaching stints concluded.<\/p>\n

Now that the show\u2019s battle rounds have wrapped up, Urban will debut as the new mega mentor for the knockout rounds, which kick off on April 8.<\/p>\n

During that round, two singers from the same team are pitted against each other. Their coach determines who advances to the playoffs, the final round before live shows begin. During the knockouts, each coach can use a steal to take an eliminated singer from another team.<\/p>\n

McEntire has known Urban for many years, and in 2020, they recorded the \u201cBe A Light\u201d COVID-19 relief charity song with Thomas Rhett<\/strong> as well as Lady A<\/strong>\u2019s Hillary Scott<\/strong> and Chris Tomlin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During a recent episode of The Voice<\/em> earlier this month, McEntire attempted to use her connection with Urban to persuade singer Ronnie Wilson<\/strong> to join her team.<\/p>\n

When Wilson named gospel and country as his top two musical influences, McEntire pretended to call Urban and his wife, Nicole Kidman.<\/strong><\/p>\n
