On Wednesday night United States star gymnast Simone Biles made an appearance at the Country Music Awards.
She turned heads with a new look and later announced the finalists for one of the awards. It was the first of what will be two TV appearances in less than a week.
According to a report from the Associated Press, the seven-time gold medalist landed a new TV job. She’ll be partnering with Snoop Dogg as a mentor for NBC’s ‘The Voice’ in an episode set to air on Monday.
We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” Biles told The Associated Press.
“It was pretty easy, simple,” Biles added of the relationship she developed with Snoop Dogg. “We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.”
These are the learning steps: Learn, process, go back in and work,” she said. “They all have the vocal talent. It’s about harnessing that, knowing when to bring it out and which songs to sing and which genre you fit in. And what you want your legacy to be. This is truly a special show as well as the judging. They don’t get to see the physical appearance first. It’s all off of ears, listening and putting their craft together as well.”
As for Snoop Dogg, he knows Biles is the best at what she does – perform under the brightest lights.
“We have the best experience and knowledge to give to these performers,” he said. “She’s a performer. I’m a performer. We’ve performed under extreme conditions. We always do our best. But sometimes things happen behind closed doors that you don’t know about. So, we’re able to speak to those things and give them real reassurance.”
Biles can be seen during Monday night’s episode on NBC at 8:00 p.m. ET.
