Ariana Grande rules out return to The Voice

Ariana Grande is ruling out a return to 'The Voice' because she gets "so emotionally attached" to the contestants.

The 31-year-old pop superstar was a coach alongside Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and John Legend on the US edition of the spinning-chair talent show in 2021, but she has admitted it takes a lot to be so "invested" in all of the aspiring talents on the programme.

Speaking on the 'Las Culturistas' podcast, she said: "I got so emotionally attached to everyone.

"That's my problem."

The 'Wicked' star even took some of Team Ariana, including Holly Forbes, Jim Allen and Sasha Allen, to her family's Thanksgiving dinner and keeps tabs on them all on social media.

She explained: "I love everyone so much.

"I love meeting people, and I felt so invested. And I still do, like I see them all on Instagram."

Ariana quipped that she loved getting to spin around in the big red chairs on the NBC talent show.

She said: "It was a perk. It was a good perk. It is really fun."

The '7 Rings' hitmaker - who replaced Nick Jonas on 'The Voice' - previously opened up about how challenging the show is.

She told E! News: "You watch it on TV and you think you know, 'OK, I'm going to get in there and it's going to be easy whatever.' But it's so hard. [The other coaches] are so seasoned and so great at it."

And appearing on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show', she confessed to breaking rules about communicating with the contestants.

She spilled: "I talk to them all, all the time. I’m like, DMing them. They’re like, 'You’re not supposed to do that.' And I’m like, 'Sorry."'
