Seasons 28 and 29 of the show are filming pre-taped episodes this summer, but McEntire and Clarkson are going to have to sit a few out, according toThe U.S. Sun. McEntire is one of the coaches for Season 28 alongsideSnoop Dogg,Michael Bublé, andNiall Horan. The Sun reported that she already missed some tapings "for obvious reasons" and that "it's not clear when she will be back. [The show] has two more tapings for the season 28 Knockout Rounds on the last week of August that Reba was scheduled to be at, but that's it for awhile," the site's source claimed. Season 28 premieres in September and will air its pre-taped episodes for several weeks before going live toward the end of the season.
