For season 29 of The Voice, titled The Voice: Battle of Champions, Clarkson, Legend, and Adam Levine return to their red chairs for an all-star round of the singing competition.
In the trailer for the upcoming season, Legend says, “It’s the battle of champions for a reason.”
“I’m the first coach ever to win the show,” Levine, 46, says, as Clarkson notes, “But I have won the most!”
