Adam Levine Trolled "Little Sister" Kelsea Ballerini's Boyfriend Text on The Voice

The Coaches on The Voice may be super supportive to their Artists, but Coach to Coach, there's plenty of teasing. And when Adam Levine thought he saw Kelsea Ballerini texting her boyfriend, he couldn't help but poke and jest. Playfully, of course! 

Kelsea Ballerini is the "little sister" of The Voice

How to Watch

Watch the Season 27 premiere of The Voice on Monday, February 3 at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

As the newest, youngest, and only female Coach, Kelsea Ballerini has naturally slipped into what she calls the "little sister" role on The Voice. And there's nothing a big brother loves more than prying. As Ballerini sent a text between Blind Auditions, Levine took notice and teased in a funny, high-pitched voice, "You're texting your boyfriend, oo-ooh."

"Guys, really?" Ballerini snapped back, prompting John Legend (also in big-brother fashion) to say, "She said, 'Mind your business!'" These three!

Ballerini explained. "I was ready to open back up. I just felt, why not? I've never really dated; I don't know how it works. I'm like, 'Let's just put ourselves out there; let's just vibe.'
