In the video, Bublé introduces Horan with a playful warning. “My friend Niall Horan is coming back to coach season 28 of The Voice. He’s been away for a few years. He’s going to tell you how he feels about it because he’s a little nervous,” Bublé said. “And you better be nice. Go ahead, Niall.”
Horan steps forward to speak as Bublé watches with a serious expression. “Yeah, you know, I’m coming back as a coach,” Horan said. “I took a year out to go on tour, and I’m not sure how I feel about coming back. It’s nerve-wracking, and I don’t know if anyone will want to be on my team.”
He shared more about his concerns regarding coaching. “Are my pitching skills going to be up to standard? I kind of wish I didn’t take a year off because I would have been on a roll. But it is nerve-wracking. It’s not easy,” Horan added.
Fans quickly reacted, showing excitement for his return. “Missed him!!! So happy he’s back!!!” one fan wrote. Another commented, “Love you both so much but #TeamNiall forever.” Others highlighted Horan’s playful social media presence. “Love all the TikTok trends Niall’s been doing recently,” one said. Another added, “C’mon we can only be nice to Niall always,” while a third fan noted, “Awww who couldn’t be nice to this cute guy.”
