Blake Shelton Explained How The Voice Made Him Very Mindful About How He Chooses His Projects

by

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of country music and reality TV competitions, I can say that Blake Shelton‘s journey on The Voice is nothing short of legendary. From his playful feuds with fellow coaches to forming friendships that transcended the stage, his time on the show was a rollercoaster ride of emotions and unforgettable moments.

For over a decade, Blake Shelton was nearly synonymous with NBC’s singing competition “The Voice,” serving as a coach for twelve seasons. During this time, his role on the show often overshadowed his status as a country music superstar. Now, with some distance from the program, Shelton reflects on how being a coach has influenced his approach to future endeavors. Meanwhile, as “The Voice” enters its third season without him, Season 26 is currently airing in the Playoffs, according to the 2024 TV schedule.

Since the Season 23 finale of “The Voice,” Blake Shelton has found himself with more free time. He’s been spending this time at home with his wife Gwen Stefani and her three sons. In addition, he’s embarked on tours, worked together with Post Malone, and carried on the “Barmageddon” ventures with “The Voice” host Carson Daly. However, Shelton has not become overly busy, as he clarified to People that he is not just accepting every opportunity that comes his way.

Since retiring from The Voice, I’ve been making a conscious effort to carefully consider my actions, ensuring they’re not just mindless habits from being on the treadmill anymore. It’s easy for time to slip away without realizing it, and before you know it, a decade has passed!

Time seems to speed up when you’re enjoying yourself, and that was certainly the case for Blake Shelton during his time on “The Voice.” Indeed, he made some fantastic connections there, such as with Carson Daly, who ended up officiating his wedding to Gwen Stefani – a relationship that might never have blossomed without the show. The country music artist engaged in light-hearted rivalries with Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine, while forming a close bond with Niall Horan on a more paternal level.

The program additionally exposed him to a fresh group of listeners who hadn’t encountered his country music radio broadcasts before. Blake Shelton referred to “The Voice” as “the most significant and life-changing career decision I ever made,” expressing gratitude to everyone involved for his current success. Yet, it seems he doesn’t pine for those days anymore. He added:

Over the past few years, it has been truly liberating for me to step away from television shows and fully embrace my role as a country singer once more. It’s a feeling I left behind in Ada, Oklahoma when I was a teenager, pursuing this dream. I never want to stray too far from what I set out to achieve again.

It’s important to note that he isn’t limited to just one thing. In fact, Blake Shelton has agreed to participate in another singing competition, this time teaming up with Taylor Sheridan, the brain behind Yellowstone, for THE ROAD on CBS. This new series will have Shelton touring, and the competitors will be his opening acts, aiming to win over local audiences and secure a place on his tour.

Instead of Blake Shelton potentially not returning to “The Voice”, we’ll be seeing one original coach make a comeback. When Season 27 kicks off in the 2025 TV schedule, Adam Levine will join forces with John Legend, Michael Bublé and fresh face Kelsea Ballerini, promising an exciting array of unpredictable moments.

At the moment, you have the opportunity to watch the remaining episodes of Season 26 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Mondays and 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesdays on NBC. Alternatively, if you prefer streaming, you can do so with a Peacock subscription the day after the broadcast.
