Dan + Shay has been performing for 10 years, setting a record for winning the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance three times in 2021. Known for hit songs like “Tequila,” “Speechless” and “All to Myself,” Dan + Shay most recently released their fourth studio album, “Good Things,” which includes their single “10,000 Hours” featuring Justin Bieber.
NBC previously confirmed that Season 24 of “The Voice” will include former “One Direction” member Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire and John Legend as coaches. Original coach Blake Shelton, who won nine out of the 22 aired seasons departed at the end of Season 23 after consistently helming a red chair since the show’s conception.
