‘The Voice’ Coaches’ Touching Pre-Show Ritual Revealed

Before heading to their iconic red chairs on the set of “The Voice,” the season 28 coaches — Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Niall Horan — have a touching ritual they do before each show.

On October 21, 2025, McEntire revealed to People, “What I love about the three that I’m with, we say our prayer before we go [film]. Snoop instigated that.”

This is not the first time Snoop has initiated pre-show prayers on “The Voice.” In 2024, during his first time as a coach on season 26, he did the same thing, according to American Songwriter.

Before hitting the stage with McEntire and Gwen Stefani, who had already coached before, and fellow newcomer Bublé, Snoop gathered them in a circle for a brief prayer, saying, “Peace, love, spirit, and family. Beautiful show. Bless us.” 

To many fans’ surprise, the rapper released a 32-track gospel album in 2018 called “Bible of Love,” which reached number one on Billboard’s Top Gospel chart and stayed there for seven weeks, according to NBC.

“The record’s all about love from start to finish,” Snoop told Rolling Stone at the time. “That’s the way you change the world, by putting love in it.”


Snoop Dogg’s Fellow ‘The Voice’ Coaches Have Discussed Their Faith

Horan has not talked publicly about his spiritual beliefs, though he has released songs like “Heaven” and “Waiting on God,” which allude to a belief in something greater than himself. Meanwhile, McEntire and Bublé have been open about their faith.

In 2023, Bublé told The Guardian, “I wouldn’t call myself a God-fearing Christian. I wouldn’t classify myself as a religious person. I am not afraid of it. I have a really wonderful and personal relationship with my faith. But it’s not a heavy thing, I’m just not that guy. I don’t want to pretend that I am.”

In 2024, McEntire shared an excerpt from the audiobook of her memoir “Not That Fancy,” in which she shared, “Nature is the church I go to when I want to feel closer to God. That’s where my angels find me. I call them angels, but I don’t know if they’re actual angels or the Holy Spirit.”

“What I do know,” she continued, “is that I never feel alone when I’m standing under an open sky. Maybe it’s from those summer afternoons when I was a little girl, listening to our Grandma Smith tell us Bible stories while we fished at her pond.”

McEntire noted in her book that she “later accepted Jesus as my personal savior and was baptized at the Kiowa Baptist Church when I was 12 years old.”
