Sorry Gwen Stefani and Shakira… Christina Aguilera is coming back.
The pop star will rejoin long-time mentors Adam Levine and Blake Shelton alongside Pharrell Williams for the new season of the show. While Aguilera served as an original mentor on the series, she took seasons four, six, and seven off.
Aguilera gave birth to her second child, Summer Rain Rutler, in August.
The announcement about her return was made on NBC’s Today Show yesterday.
“We are excited to welcome Christina back to her red chair and can’t wait to see how she mixes things up among Adam, Blake and Pharrell, in what will be an incredibly competitive competition,” Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late night programming at NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. “These four talented artists are at the top of their game as musicians and as coaches. The mentoring is sure to be intense and the stakes will be high.”
