Rihanna Lands 'Voice' Season 9 Job - Joins Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani & Adam Levine

Just when you thought that the brand new season of The Voice couldn't get anymore star-studded, the NBC series has decided to shine even brighter with star power this year. They have just secured Mrs. Diamond herself, Rihanna, to join the series for a pretty major role. While each of the judges have their own mentors for season 9, the "B*tch Better Have My Money" star is serving in the same role that Taylor Swift did last year on the series. Rihanna will be helping out Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams and newly divorced Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, as the coaches key advisor. According to E! News, the "American Oxygen" starlet will be boarding the show as the newest adviser to all the contestants. "We landed Rihanna to be key adviser to all the coaches this fall," Robert Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment Chairman explained during the TCA panel that took place in Beverly Hills. "This is on of music's true supervisors coming on board to influence the lives and careers of the performers."

According to Variety, other stars that have held the position in the past have included Chris Martin, Nate Ruess and Taylor Swift.

As we previously reported, other mentors for the judges include Selena Gomez for Team Gwen, Brad Paisley on Team Blake, Missy Elliot for Pharrell Williams and Jon Fogerty on Team Adam.

However, Rihanna will be stopping by to help out all the teams, and this endeavor couldn't come at a better time for her as she is expected to release some new music this fall, which diehard fans like us have been waiting not so patiently for.

Be sure to catch Rihanna and all the other celebrity judges on the all-new season of The Voice when it premieres September 21 on NBC.
