Miranda Lambert Joins 'The Voice' Season 6 As Shakira's Mentor

Miranda Lambert is set to make a thrilling return to 'The Voice' in Season 6, but this time, she won’t be supporting her husband, Blake Shelton. Instead, Lambert will take on the role of mentor for Shelton's competitor, Shakira. This unexpected twist is sure to heat up the competition on the show, as the couple navigates their professional rivalry while balancing their personal relationship.

The upcoming season promises to intensify the friendly competition between the dynamic duo. Previously, Lambert showcased her support for Shelton's finalist, Dia Frampton, in Season 1 and mentored Shelton's team during Season 2. Now, she is crossing over to Team Shakira, marking a significant shift in their on-screen interactions.

After months of speculation, the official announcement was made on January 7 via the show's Facebook page. The excitement is palpable as Shakira declared, “Miranda Lambert as her team's mentor heading into Season 6! Yes, you read that correctly. She is not messing around in her return.” With such a powerhouse in the mix, the competition is bound to be fierce.

Shelton has expressed some concern over his wife's new role, hinting that he knows Lambert is taking this seriously. "I have to go home and investigate, and then I’ll call [Shakira]: ‘I found this out. You need to do this,’" Lambert remarked about her responsibilities as a mentor.

With Shelton's impressive track record of winning three out of five competitions since the show's inception, he certainly is the one to beat. It raises the question: does Shakira have what it takes to go head-to-head with a country music powerhouse like Lambert? Season 5 recently concluded with an Adam Levine victory, but the excitement for Season 6 is just around the corner, set to air on NBC on February 24.
