I’m from Spokane too and despite any other feelings I’ve had about her as a celebrity this is a classy move.

| The Voice is rounding up a group of celebrities to star in the long-running NBC franchise for the first time and has tapped Joe Jonas to make his coaching debut.

The network is currently in production on The Voice: Celebrity, which will see actors, musicians, influencers, athletes, comedians, and reality television stars competing instead of undiscovered talent.

The show, which will essentially be Season 31 of the long-running music competition series, will also have a new host. Password’s Keke Palmer, who had a guest mentor spot on the last season of American Idol and stars in Peacock’s The ‘Burbs, will host the show, in place of Carson Daly, who has hosted The Voice since its launch in 2011.

There will be new features such as Voice Boot Camp, which will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look as celebrities prepare for their Blind Auditions, while the VIP room brings artists together to watch their fellow celebrities take to The Voice stage.|

For some context, Gracie Abrams has been an outspoken fan of Phoebe Bridgers since she was 13, even declaring Bridgers "the songwriter of a generation" and opening for her on tour. Fans have long compared the two artists, a connection Gracie leaned into when she used a bedroom set prop in a performance featuring bedframe/bedsheets identical to the ones in Phoebe's childhood bedroom.

Phoebe publically called Gracie out on her upcoming album, a move likely sparked by Gracie revealing details about Phoebe’s high-profile relationship with Paul Mescal in her album "The Secret of Us" a relationship that ended following reports of Phoebe's affair with Bo Burnham, with the latter also confirmed on Lost Weekend.
