Taylor Swift Joins The Voice as Guest Mentor


Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams arent the only huge additions heading to The Voicethis season:Taylor Swiftwill stop by for an episode to serve as an advisor to the hopeful contestants, Us Weekly reports. Taylor was an absolute pleasure to work with, a source told Us of Swifts The Voice appearance. She had great feedback for all the contestants. She made for an amazing mentor. Hopefully Swift wont also be teaching contestants how to dance.

Swift is the latest superstar to be recruited as guest advisor for The Voices seventh season. Much like Coldplays Chris Martin last season, Swift will assist all the contestants and not just one specific judges team. Along with Swift, Stevie Nicks(Team Adam Levine), Bushs Gavin Rossdale (his wifes Team Stefani), Little Big Town (Team Blake Shelton) and Alicia Keys (Team Williams) will also appearas guest mentors.

Swifts songs have long been a favorite of Voice contestants, and in June 2013, Swift herself made a surprise appearance during the competition when she visited the rehearsal of contestant Michelle Chamuel, who was set to perform the Red smash I Know You Were Trouble. Swift gave Chamuels rendition enthusiastic approval. That was so emotional. All the vocal runs you picked, it was so amazing, Swift told Chamuel. The way you doubled over with your hair in your face and everything, dont stop doing that.

The Voices seventh season is scheduled to premiere on September 22, five weeks before Swifts first straight-up pop album 1989 arrives on October 27.
