Season 18

The seventeenth season of the American reality television show The Voice premiered on September 23, 2019, on NBC.[1][2][3] John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton returned as coaches for their second, fourth, and seventeenth seasons, respectively. Gwen Stefani, who last coached in the twelfth season in 2017, returned after a four season-hiatus, replacing Adam Levine. With Levine's departure, Shelton serves as the last remaining coach from the show's inaugural season.[4] Meanwhile, Carson Daly returned for his seventeenth season as host.

Jake Hoot was named winner of this season, marking Kelly Clarkson's third win as a coach. Also, Hoot became the second winner in the show’s history to have been a one-chair turn in the Blind Auditions. This is also the last season to-date in which four finalists competed in the finale.

Dane Mautone of Dane & Stephanie became the American version's second openly transgender contestant (after season 14's Angel Bonilla) and first transgender male.

On May 24, 2019, after having initially opted to return for another season, it was announced that original coach Adam Levine wouldn't be returning as a coach and would be departing from the show after sixteen seasons. Gwen Stefani replaced Levine, marking her fourth season as a coach. Blake Shelton returned for his seventeenth season as a coach, John Legend for his second, and Kelly Clarkson for her fourth.

The Knockouts, removed in the sixteenth season in favor of the Live Cross Battles round, returned this season, replacing the latter. This season, the coaches went back to having only one Knockout steal instead of a steal and a save. For the first time, the coaches had one steal and one save in the Battles instead of the usual two steals like in the prior seasons.[5] This is the last season to date to have the iTunes bonus multiplier during the live shows.[6][7]

This season's battle advisors were Normani for Team Kelly, Will.i.am for Team Gwen, Usher for Team Legend, and Darius Rucker for Team Blake.[8]

Taylor Swift served as a “mega-mentor” for all teams during the Knockouts. She had previously mentored in the show's seventh season.[9]
