00:00That I was in such a chaotic environment.
00:03The rookie's here.
00:04The rookie's here.
00:05She's so damn lovable, it's like sickening.
00:07I know, right?
00:08It's very difficult to be mean to Kelsey Ballerini.
00:11Very difficult.
00:12It's on the internet, though.
00:13Kelsey Ballerini is leaving internet trolls behind
00:16and embracing a new family on season 27 of The Voice.
00:20And we sat down with the judges.
00:22What are you doing?
00:22Don't worry about it.
00:27The hardest thing to do is, I'm sorry,
00:29I don't know what's going on over there.
00:30It's tough when someone's putting on their boots
00:31right next to you.
00:32It's hard, yeah.
00:32It's distracting.
00:33Already, Judge Adam Levine is saying with Kelsey,
00:36some tense judging days are behind him.
00:39We do compete, but it doesn't get dirty.
00:41It doesn't get dirty.
00:43We all let each other speak.
00:43We don't talk over each other.
00:45It used to get so ugly.
00:46Guys, you don't even know, man.
00:48We used to scream over each other.
00:50He's still traumatized from his youth.
00:52You know what's crazy?
00:53I have realized through this process, which
00:56has become therapy of a sort, that I
00:59was in such a chaotic environment.
01:01Like, me and Blake are slinging hate at each other.
01:04Like, everyone's yelling and screaming.
01:05It was so different.
01:07But I wouldn't be able to even stomach
01:10or handle that at this point.
01:11This is the perfect place.
01:12I'm in the right place.
01:13It's a safe space.
01:14Let's continue.
01:15We're happy Adam's happy.
01:17And when it comes to advice for the new country princess
01:20judge, Bet Michael Bublé had this to say about fakeness.
01:24What I said to her was this, that friendships don't happen.
01:28It's fake, OK?
01:30In this business especially, people are fake.
01:32You never know who people really are.
01:35And if we treat each other with love and respect,
01:37we'll earn each other's friendship.
01:38And I feel, I hope I can speak for everybody
01:40when I say that long after this show is done,
01:43I will be crushed, crushed if these aren't my friends.
01:46Oh.
01:47That's so special.
01:48So that's really how I feel.
01:49We have a group chat that is, like,
01:50the weirdest thing you've ever seen in your life.
01:52Really?
01:52What goes on in the group chat?
01:54I will say, I've also, like, never had a,
01:56honestly, in 16 seasons, I've never had a group chat.
01:59Well, the technology has changed.
02:00Yes, it has.
02:01We must be added to the group chat.
02:03Adam notoriously does not turn for his own song.
02:06I was just going to say.
02:07You have broken the code.
02:09I'm going to say all the things that Adam
02:11is about to say to you.
02:13This is the greatest I've ever heard one of my songs sung.
02:16It's a good song.
02:17You are amazing.
02:19The Voice season 27 premieres February 3rd
02:21at 8, 7 central on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.
