Producers of The Voice like to mix it up here and there with their coaches, and as a result, we won't be seeing Reba McEntire return in Season 27.

Reba McEntire is one of those talents comfortable in multiple entertainment roles. Despite finding fame with her music career, she also found a place on the screen, too. With her debut on screen in Reba, she then took her popularity to the next step.
Since then, she has had huge success with Happy Place. This is the reason most suspect that Reba McEntire won't be returning to The Voice. She's seen a wonderful reception to the show and would prefer to focus on that rather than the music show.
Reba McEntire Doesn't Want A Commitment Clash On The Voice
Although Happy Place has only had one season so far, it is likely to have another. The season premiere saw millions tune in and has many begging for more. The happy, heartfelt, laugh-track sitcom is just what people want.
Understandably, Reba McEntire would prioritize her own show over The Voice. Sure, NBC pays incredibly well to be a coach, but it's a full-time commitment. It's likely that she wanted a break from the show. It can be hard juggling a sitcom and a music competition. It also gives the show a chance to inject new dynamics.
But Season 27 of The Voice has managed to get a decent selection of coaches without her. The new lineup includes Michael Bublé, John Legend, the return of Adam Levine, and all-new country-pop star Kelsea Ballerini.
I am sure that Reba McEntire will be missed from The Voice this season. But, the return of Adam Levine has got a lot of people talking. He is one of the original coaches for the show and has been absent since 2019. His familiarity has already promised many fans to return to the show.
Reba replaced the beloved Blake Sheldon on the show back in season 24. A lot of viewers have begged for him to return along with Levine, but so far, no dice. We may see the return of the TV bromance one day. but sadly it won't be in Season 27.
