Move over, Miley—with the former Voice Key Adviser moving into one of the coaches' chairs, the show has hired not one but two new music superstars to mentor the season 11 finalists. Married country music luminaries Faith Hill and Tim McGraw will step in to prepare artists for the knockout rounds later this month.

The dual Key Advisers—the first time The Voice has had two musicians in the all-important position—will spend time with coaches Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton and their teams, giving pointers about performance strategy and preparing them for the rest of the competition.

"I think having the perspective of performing live in many different venues, from clubs to stadiums, will help us in working with the Voice artists this season," Hill said in a statement announcing the news. "It's important that they be able to connect with their audience."

"I really like to dig into songs and how they need to be presented in a live environment," added McGraw. "I'm looking forward to working with the coaches to help the artists reach their potential."

After their Voice stint, Hill and McGraw, who have been married for 20 years and have three teenage daughters, will hit the road on the Soul2Soul World Tour in 2017.

The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.
