Ariana Grande is set to become a new coach on Season 21 of The Voice. The show released a teaser that showed coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton sitting around a campfire. Ariana shows up as a “star” and starts singing Olivia Newton-John‘s classic song “Hopelessly Devoted To You.”
She sounded so good that Olivia herself sent Ariana a compliment! Olivia shared a clip of the video and wrote, “Wow! Love this rendition of Hopelessly Devoted To You [red heart emoji].”
