“Hi guys, sorry I’m late,” says Grande, 28, before Shelton replies, “We’re just glad you’re here.”
“So Ariana, I’m not sure you’re aware, but we kind of have a tradition,” says Clarkson, 39.

“I’m excited about Ariana joining the show because it’s somebody new for me to beat,” he said jokingly. “I’m tired of beating John every season — and Nick.”
“The easiest defeat of my career wasNick Jonas,” he added. “So I’m looking for a challenge. I think Ariana could be a challenge. I’m looking forward to beating her though.”
Legend added that he’s excited to have someone like Grande on the show.
“Part of the charm of the show is that we keep things exciting and bring different coaches on that will add a new flavor to the mix,” he said. “Ariana is one of the most gifted artists in our business today. She is a huge, chart-topping artist with amazing vocal skills. I think so many of our fans out there truly love her, and I think she’s going to bring additional fans to the show, a different audience to the show, and I think it’s going to be great for all of us.”
