The Voice is switching things up for Season 28. Beginning with the Blinds, Carson Daly will be given his first-ever Carson Callback Card, which allows the host to surprise a deserving artist of his choice who receives no chair turns with a second chance at a blind audition. In the Battles, coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg will call upon their artists to form their own battle pairs. In the past, the coaches would choose who goes head-to-head in the round. During the Knockouts, each coach will be given a Mic Drop button to be used on a contestant on their very own team that blows them away. Then, viewers at home will have the opportunity to vote for the Mic Drop winner among the four — and the contestant with the most votes will be awarded a performance at The Rose Parade Presented by Honda on Jan. 1, 2026. Lastly, during the Playoffs, each coach will select only one contestant from their team to advance to the Lives, with viewers voting on the fifth and sixth finalist.
