How many shows kick off with a collaboration so big it feels like an event of its own? NBC’s The Voice has built that tradition, and the Season 28 premiere is ready to raise the bar again. Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé and Niall Horan are walking together backstage before stepping out to a roaring crowd, promising the kind of coach performance that fans wait all year to see.
The energy of this moment is in the mix of personalities. Reba’s steady grace, Niall’s charm, Snoop’s effortless cool, and Bublé’s smooth showman presence make for a lineup that feels both unexpected and exciting. There is tension in not knowing what song they will perform, but that is the point. The anticipation is part of the thrill of The Voice premiere tradition.

Fans have filled the comments with excitement, some guessing possible songs and others just expressing their joy at seeing this group together. One person called it “the best lineup in years,” while another joked that Snoop and Bublé alone could carry a Vegas residency.
That moment of unity among the coaches feels even more special when you look at what Reba did just weeks earlier. At the 2025 Emmy Awards, she joined Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Golden Girls. On a recreated living room set, the three performed “Thank You for Being a Friend,” turning the ceremony into a giant sing-along.

It was playful, warm, and deeply nostalgic. Audience members swayed and sang the words like it was second nature proof of how deeply that theme song is tied to American culture. Reba did not treat it as a throwaway novelty. She leaned into the joy of it, proving once again why she is not just a country star but an entertainer who knows how to connect with any crowd.
That is the thread running through all of Reba’s performances. Whether she is teaming up with fellow coaches to open a season of The Voice or leading a room full of Hollywood stars in a sing-along, she brings the same heart and presence. Reba McEntire has earned her title as the Queen of Country not only for her voice but for the way she makes people feel seen and included. Follow Reba McEntire on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
