🎤 Carson Daly Reveals Game-Changing Twist in The Voice Season 28: The “Carson Callback”
After 28 seasons of cheering from the sidelines, Carson Daly is finally stepping into a more powerful role on The Voice.
In a surprising twist revealed in the Season 28 trailer, Daly announced a brand-new rule that gives him the ability to influence the competition for the first time ever—and fans and coaches alike are buzzing.
The new feature, called the Carson Callback, allows Daly to “call back” a contestant who didn’t advance in the traditional format. “Sometimes I see great singers fall through the cracks,” Daly says in the trailer. “And I’ve never been able to do anything about it—until now”.
The moment the Carson Callback was introduced, coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé were visibly stunned. “What is happening, Carson Daly?” Bublé exclaimed as the red card lit up the stage. The teaser didn’t reveal exactly how or when Daly can use this new power, but it’s clear the dynamic of the show is about to shift.
For years, Daly has been the emotional anchor of The Voice, supporting artists and their families, celebrating victories, and offering comfort during eliminations. Now, with the Carson Callback, he’s stepping into a more active role—one that could change the fate of contestants who might otherwise be overlooked.
Season 28 premieres Monday, September 22 at 8/7c on NBC, and fans are eager to see how this new twist plays out.
Will Daly’s instincts match the coaches’ decisions? Will the Carson Callback become a fan-favorite feature? One thing’s certain: The Voice just got a whole lot more unpredictable.
