Michael Bublé is chasing his second title after becoming the first coach in the show’s history to have the top two acts in their debut season. He is the lone season 26 returner, joining veterans Adam Levine and John Legend. Additionally, country-pop sensation Kelsea Ballerini makes her debut in the big red chair.
