Contestants on this season of The Voice have another good reason to choose to be on Kelsea Ballerini's team. The singer, who joins Michael Bublé, Adam Levine and John Legend, is giving away one unique -- and expensive -- gift. Every person who joins Team Ballerini gets a pair of custom Tecovas boots with with "Team Kelsea," near the top of the boot and "S27" near the heel, the latter indicating Season 27.

Per Tecovas.com, the boots Ballerni is gifting retail for $345, making hers one of the more expensive gifts given out on the show.
Giving gifts out has been popular in recent seasons. Reba McEntire, who Ballerni replaced, famously gave out tater tots to contestants who joined her team.
Filling Reba McEntire's Shoes
It's no easy feat stepping into McEntire's shoes. But Ballerini is more than up for the challenge, thanks in large part to McEntire's support and encouragement. The "Cowboys Cry Too" singer reveals McEntire left her a sweet note of encouragement on her first day on set.
"Dear Kelsea, I heard you would be the new coach this season and I'm just so excited for you," Ballerini recalls (via People). "It's up to you to keep country alive on the show and I know you'll do a terrific job. Now go out there and show those boys who's the boss."
McEntire also left her a "little good luck charm in case you need it." The unexpected gift was McEntire's crown, which she wore as "Queen Reba."
Ballerini wants to win Season 27, but she also has another goal: to beat Levine. Levine and Blake Shelton were on the first 16 seasons, creating a friendly rivalry between the two, which Ballerini is now carrying on.
"I feel very strongly I'm going to have to really fight Adam Levine," she jokes. "I know it's a big deal that he's coming back but yeah — I feel like we're going to be frenemies. Just kidding. However, I've gotten some pep talks from Blake about how to take him down!"
Season 27 of The Voice airs on Monday nights at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
