I feel like we’re going to be frenemies.

However, I’ve gotten some pep talks fromBlake [Shelton]about how to take him down!"

Filming on season 27, which premieres next spring, begins next month in Los Angeles.

The Miss Me More singer said shes looking forward to diving in.

“I’m so excited.

I’m excited because it’s just such a new adventure,” Ballerini toldPeople.

“I’ve gotten to be on set in different capacities over the years.

But to really assume that role as a coach.

It’s really going to stretch me and it’s going to be a new opportunity.”

The Grammy winner said shes particularly excited about the opportunity to learn more about her craft.

I’ve learned so much.

It’s a really interesting place to be in.

To be able to be a coach and be like, ‘Hey, I’m still learning alongside you.

So I can pour into you what I know.

But I am still figuring it out too.’

I really feel like I want to just be the sister more so than the coach."

This is shaping up to be quite the season already!
