The Masked Singer will be revealing two celebrities underneath those elaborate costumes. The first celebrity will be revealed at the end of the first hour, followed by the second star at the end of the second hour. The first masked singer to perform is the Rottweiler.

Jenny thinks Paris Jackson could be the Ladybug. Ken is still convinced the Ladybug could be Lindsay Lohan, but the Ladybug denies it. Nicole Scherzinger guesses Ashlee Simpson.
The Tree plays the piano in her clue package and says she’s always been her parents’ “favorite elf.” They never made her feel like she was “home alone.” A picture of the White House then appears in the video.
