"THE BATTLES PREMIERE" ORIGINAL

03/19/2018 (08:00PM - 10:01PM) (Monday) : THE COACHES ENLIST MUSIC INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS TRACE ADKINS, SHAWN MENDES, JULIA MICHAELS AND HAILEE STEINFELD TO PREPARE THEIR ARTISTS FOR THE BATTLE ROUNDS -The "battle rounds" begin and the coaches enlist the help of top recording artists to offer their knowledge and skills as advisers. Kelly Clarkson teams up with Hailee Steinfeld, Alicia Keys with Shawn Mendes, Adam Levine with Julia Michaels and Blake Shelton with Trace Adkins. In this phase, the coaches pit two of their own team members against each other in a dueling duet. New this season, coaches go further in the training process than ever before by working with the artists right up until performance night, leading to some of the best battles in the history of the show. After the vocal face-off, each coach must choose which artist from their team is the strongest, and has the option of stealing losing artists from an opposing coach. Each coach has two steals during the battle rounds where their artists will proceed to the knockout rounds. Carson Daly ("TODAY Show") hosts. TV-PG D, L
