Miranda Lambert is stepping into new husband Blake Shelton’s territory.

On next Wednesday’s season finale of NBC’s hit singing contest, “The Voice,” Lambert will perform a duet with the finalist who was on Shelton’s team, Dia Frampton.

Lambert, a Grammy winner for her single “The House That Built Me,” said she was “thrilled” to be part of “The Voice.”

“It’s been a joy watching my husband grow so attached to his team. Truthfully, I am a little jealous that I am not a coach myself. I can’t wait to be a part of it,” she said.

Country superstars Lambert and Shelton were married last month.

“The Voice” also features Christina Aguilera, Maroon 5?s Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green as coaches to their own groups of would-be pop stars.

The other finalists competing with Frampton are Javier Colon, Beverly McClellan and Vicci Martinez. The four will perform next Tuesday, with the viewers’ choice to be announced on the finale the following night. The winner gets a record contract and a $100,000 prize.

Xenia was one of the four contestants eliminated on tonight’s episode of The Voice. America’s votes were counted along with Blake Shelton‘s votes and Dia Frampton snagged one of the top four spots, leading her into next week’s finale. “I am heartbroken about Xenia but like I said last night, I know I’m going to hear her voice on the radio,” Blake said, in a statement released to HollywoodLife.com.

“She undeniably has a great voice. Her time on the show may be over but I will continue to work with her and help her in any way I can in the future. I absolutely love her.”

The coaches each received 100 points and were able to distribute the points as they wished amongst their two final candidates. America was given 100 points as well, and the two were added together. Blake voted 50/50, but America’s vote brought the final count to Dia: 106 and Xenia: 94.

Team Blake was a tough decision to call, and it was the smallest gap in votes. Many of The Voice contestants we spoke to last night struggled when we asked them whether they thought Dia or Xenia would continue on to the next round. Blake put it best today when he tweeted that there’s no way for him to lose or win tonight. It’s so sweet how torn he was!

Last night we asked Blake if had planned how he would vote. He said, “I knew what I was going to coming into this thing and I think it was the right thing because man those two girls are so special. It crept up on me. When I watch how this show has progressed and watch how Dia and Xenia both went from people probably didn’t even notice them to once they got a chance to do their thing it was just an explosion.”

Blake continued, “Now that’s all I hear about when I talk about the show with somebody. It used to be Javier, Javier, Javier, Javier. That’s all you heard about! And rightfully so, the guy is absolutely amazing. Now when I read articles it’s like who is this Dia Frampton, here’s why we think Blake picked Xenia. There’s a buzz about these two girls. It’s because they’re artists, they’re not just vocalists. They have unique tones. If you shut your eyes and listen them, there’s no way to mistake who you are hearing.”

Xenia gave her close friend Dia and Blake a hug before walking off stage, leaving teary-eyed winner Dia with coach Blake who called Xenia a “superstar”. The others eliminated were Casey Weston, Nakia, and Frenchie. Vicci Martinez, Javier Colon, Beverly and Dia are moving on to the finals.

The hit NBC singing competition, “The Voice,” became popular much faster than anyone could have imagined. The judges were even surprised when millions of fans tuned in each week to watch. Blake Shelton believes it has a lot to do with the judges and how well they get along with each other.

“All four of us when we got there — I remember that first meeting, we were all sitting there looking at each other like, ‘What the hell is this show?,’” Blake told The Boot. “We were seeing these chairs spin around, and we didn’t even know. Once we figured it out, and more importantly once we figured out we had some chemistry with each other, that was just luck of the draw. Thank God. That’s what’s helping the show as much as anything, is that we do all get along, and we’re not afraid to pop off to each other on TV, because we know that as soon as it’s a commercial break, we’re going to high-five and laugh about it. That’s why we’re relaxed, is because you’re looking at four people who, when the show is over someday, we will remain friends.”

The show has already been renewed for a second season, but that is not the only thing the “Honey Bee” singer has on his plate right now. He is currently on the “H2O II: Wetter and Wilder” tour with Brad Paisley. On top of those, the newlywed is also juggling trying to spend time with his new wife, Miranda Lambert. Despite the busy schedule he keeps, he is working through it to keep his career on the right track.

“I don’t think you get the luxury of saying ‘I’m not doing this right now,’” he said. “You have to figure out a way to balance that. And sometimes you don’t even get that opportunity. But now that we know there’s a second season of ‘The Voice’ coming, I know that touring and ‘The Voice’ is too much for me, so we’re going to not tour for a month or so, and then we’ll pick back up again after that. I think you have to prioritize. As far as handling all that stuff and the things going on, I’ve never changed my priorities.”

“The Voice” now airs live on Tuesday nights. Blake will be performing in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado this weekend. His latest album, “Red River Blue” will be in stores July 12th.
