"The Voice" premieres Season 17 on Monday, September 23 and it's already off to a great start with the artists supporting the coaches this year including Taylor Swift who will be a mega mentor for all four coaches during the knock out rounds. 

As “The Voice” Mega Mentor, Taylor will mentor the artists and prepare each team for the Knockout Rounds, which will begin airing in late October. During the Knockout Rounds, the artists will be paired with a teammate and select their own songs to perform individually. Taylor will be on hand to work with all four coaches and their teams to provide feedback, suggestions and praise as the artists prepare for their performance. The coaches alone will choose the winner, and the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach.

The panel of coaches, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani will get support from battle round mentors Normani, Darius Rucker, will.i.am, and Usher.
