Reba McEntire to fill Blake Shelton's cowboy boots as coach on "The Voice"

Country music legend Reba McEntire is stepping in as a coach for season 24 of "The Voice." 

The announcement Monday comes more than six months after coach Blake Shelton said he'd be leaving the show. Shelton, the longest-tenured coach on "The Voice," frequently worked with country singers on the show.

McEntire is a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee. While season 24 will be her first as a coach, she served as a "Mega Mentor" during season 23 and as Shelton's battle advisor back in season 1.
