Assistant coaches often rise to take over the head coaching job in the ranks of professional sports — and in that way The Voice is mimicking the NFL next season. After helping mentor John Legend‘s talented team in late 2021, superstar Camila Cabello will be joining The Voice next season as a coach with her own chair to turn when she hears that something special.

But Cabello’s not replacing Legend, who will remain a coach. Instead, Cabello is replacing the hugely popular Kelly Clarkson, whose successful daytime talk show has evidently made her schedule too full to continue developing talent on The Voice.

Still, here’s Clarkson in her natural state.
