We wonder what inspired the new look. Perhaps spending time on the Oklahoma farm with Blake Shelton has prompted Stefani to warm up her usual icy platinum mane. Maybe she wanted her hair to properly match her Battles outfit: a yellow floral sleeveless dress. Or maybe she just wanted a change!

Stefani is a pro at the game at this point. “Man, I learned from the best,” she said of her time on the show, specifically referring to her early days when she took notes from veteran coaches like Adam Levine (who returns). The voice in Season 27. “It’s funny because it’s just so different than what we’re used to. But then you get into the other position of a coach, where you look back on your career and think, “Gosh, how?” did I'm doing this? Let me share this with you because maybe I can help you with that too. “It’s just super fulfilling… and weird.”
