Are we witnessing a new friendship in the works? If Reba McEntire and Michael Bublé have anything to say about it, apparently so!

The singers are two of the coaches competing on The Voice season 26 (alongside Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani), and the show gave a sneak peek at Reba’s star power ahead of the September 23 premiere. As folks watched a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like for her to film the hit NBC competition series, The Voice‘s social team couldn’t help but shout out the country superstar’s fame on Instagram.

“Our happy place is with Coach @Reba! 🤠,” the caption read. “#TheVoice returns Monday, September 23 on @NBC and streaming on @Peacock.”

Upon seeing the latest promo with Reba, it didn’t take long for Michael to give his two cents about her. Showcasing how much he appreciates her wisdom in the music industry, he alluded to their friendship in the comments.

“Yeah. Reba is 🔥🔥🔥,” he affectionately replied. “Just the m. f. way it is.”

Michael is not the only one in awe of Reba. Fans who are equally enamored by her proceeded to bombard the comments with joyful words.

“Go win it Reba!! #TeamReba It’s going to be so much fun!!” one person excitedly wrote. “Queen Reba’s love for the talents and music touch our hearts ❤️😍 Her emotions and empathy move us ❤️😭,” another penned. “Can’t wait for the new season!! #TeamReba all the way!” a different viewer added.

Well, that’s certainly a way to see Reba and Michael’s camaraderie early on! What’s more, Reba already teased how well she gets along with her fellow coaches at the Television Critics Association Event back in July — to the point of having them be a part of her other big NBC project.

“To let you know, Snoop Dogg — that’s Mr. Snoop Dogg —and Michael Bublé, they both want to come on Happy’s Place as guests,” she explained (per NBC Insider), referencing her upcoming sitcom. “They’re so excited about it.”

Well, looks like we have a lot more to look out for when it comes to these bonds formed on The Voice!
