Kelly Clarkson Returns as Coach for The Voice Season 30

NBC announced Thursday that Kelly Clarkson will return as a coach for Season 30 of The Voice, airing this fall. The singer, who previously coached for eight seasons from 14 through 21 and appeared in recent specials, will join fellow veteran Adam Levine in the red chairs.

The network shared the news on Instagram with the caption, "Team Kelly has REentered the chat. Kelly Clarkson returns as a Coach this fall on The Voice!" alongside a montage of her highlights from the series. A companion post welcomed her back explicitly. Clarkson, 44, last served on the panel for Season 29, the "Battle of the Champions" edition that concluded in April with Levine's contestant Alexia Jayy as the winner.

Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5, confirmed his return last month, telling People, "I'm having so much fun doing it. Since I came back a few seasons ago, it's just been a blast, and I'm super happy to keep it going as long as they'll have me." This will mark his 19th season on the show, which he first joined in its 2011 debut. Clarkson, the original American Idol winner and a three-time Grammy recipient, has secured four victories as a coach, the most for any female coach on the program.
