Ariana posted a photo of herself on Instagram posing on the set of The Voice. She leans against one of the coach’s chairs while wearing a leopard-print dress and matching shoes.
The singer said she would be joining fellow coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton. That means coach Nick Jonas won’t be returning to the show next season. However, he’s taken a season off in the past, so maybe we’ll see him again.
