Kelsea Ballerini: The Sweet Letter Reba Left Her
Kelsea Ballerini found a sweet letter from Reba during the season premiere of The Voice on Monday (2/3) on her chair. Reba coached on seasons 24, 25, and 26.
The letter read in part, “Dear Kelsea, I heard you would be the new coach this season and I’m just so excited for you. It’s up to you to keep country alive on the show, and I know you’ll do a terrific job. Now go out there and show those boys who’s the boss.”
In the letter, Reba also wrote that she left Ballerini a “little good luck charm in case you need it.”
Kelsea turned to find Reba’s crown from previous seasons — where she was dubbed “Queen Reba.” She placed it on her head and said, “I feel so fancy.”
Ballerini is coaching this season alongside Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine.
She posted to Instagram about being on The Voice this week (2/3), “joining @nbcthevoice as the new coach tonight. i’ve gained three brothers, been continually inspired by the talent this season, and enjoyed every second of this journey so far. tune in at 8/7c TO WATCH ME HIT THE RED BUTTON FOR MY FAV ARTISTS!!!!”

The country star has been performing on stage for fans for years as an opening act and is now she is headlining her first arena tour.
There’s no doubt that through all those shows, she’s had one or two embarrassing moments. Kelsea recently shared with People Magazine one of those moments on stage in front of thousands of fans.
She offered, “I do all these costume changes, and I had jeans on. I was singing ‘Miss Me More’, and because I have my [in-ear] monitors in, in my brain, I’m like, ‘Man, people are really yelling this. Things feel extra rowdy tonight!’ And then I realized that they were yelling at me to zip my fly. That was embarrassing.”
She explained that she has also “gotten stuck in a zipper in quick-change before” and that she just had to grab the microphone and be in the tent behind the stage. She added that she feels like all those moments now, instead of being embarrassed, “I just roll with it. It happens.”
