Dan + Shay are set to make their debut as first-time coaches on the upcoming season 25 of The Voice. In a recent coaches junket, the country music duo shared their thoughts on the new season and the dynamics of working together as joint coaches.
During the discussion, Dan Smyers humorously mentioned the possibility of their coaching roles leading to the breakup of their band, while Shay Mooney added to the jest. However, they both expressed genuine excitement about the opportunity to join the show alongside fellow coaches John Legend, Reba McEntire, and Chance the Rapper.
Despite the novelty of sharing a chair as coaches, Smyers emphasized the positive aspects of the experience, highlighting the unique perspective they bring to the table. The duo, who previously served as advisors on the show, acknowledged the learning curve of adapting to the format but expressed confidence in their ability to work together effectively.
Mooney emphasized the strength of their partnership, noting their complementary skills and shared vision for guiding aspiring artists. Drawing from their own journey in the music industry, they aim to provide valuable insights and support to contestants as they navigate their own paths to success.
Looking ahead to the season premiere on February 26, viewers can anticipate a fresh dynamic with Dan + Shay's coaching style. The Voice will air on NBC at 8 p.m. ET, with streaming available on Peacock the following day.
