‘The Voice’ Snubbed by Emmys for the First Time Since 2012
Premiering in 2011 on NBC, The Voice has drawn massive audiences ever since. Premiering in February 2025, season 27 brought coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine to the big red chairs. Wrapping up in May 2025, Bublé took home his second straight coaching victory with winner Adam David. While ratings were apparently high enough to warrant a new season, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences recently announced this year’s Emmy nominations. And for the first time in 13 years, The Voice isn’t on the list.
‘The Voice’ Has Won This Category Three Times
Since its second season premiered in 2012, The Voice has scored an Emmy nod in the Outstanding Reality Competition Program category every year since, taking home trophies in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
However, producers will miss out on an opportunity to add to their hardware this year. CBS’ Survivor takes The Voice’s place in the Outstanding Reality Competition category. Along with CBS counterpart The Amazing Race, Survivor joins Peacock’s The Traitors, MTV’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Bravo’s Top Chef. All of last year’s nominees have another shot in 2025—except The Voice.

According to The Voice Views blog, the season 27 finale drew the lowest-ever ratings in the show’s 13-year history. The dismal numbers reflected a season-long struggle that saw The Voice go head-to-head with American Idol seven times.
Two-time defending champ Michael Bublé is the only season 28 returnee, with Kelsea Ballerini, John Legend, and Adam Levine all taking a step back. Veteran coaches Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire will join the “Feeling Good” crooner in the big red chairs.
Reba Is Ready
The “Queen of Country” has returned to her rightful throne. Reba McEntire took to social media last week to let The Voice viewers know she means business.
“Back in my other Happy Place. I’ve got my game face on and I’m ready to WIN,” the “Fancy” singer, 70, captioned a photo of herself perched atop her big red chair. “Just wait til y’all hear the incredible voices of Season 28!”

Season 28 marks Reba’s fourth season with The Voice. After coaching Ruby Leigh to the season 24 runner-up spot, the country music icon returned for season 25. This time she proved victorious, taking home the season 25 title with Asher HaVon.
Taking a break after three straight seasons, Reba sat out season 27. Now she’s back, and, it seems, better than ever.
