Every season of The Masked Singer brings a fresh wave of excitement as fans eagerly speculate which celebrities are hiding behind those elaborate masks.

Let's dive deeper into the clues she dropped and see if we can figure out who this powerhouse singer might be. Keep reading to uncover the mystery!

Medusa’s Clues: A Trail of Hints Leading to Her True Identity

Medusa didn’t hold back when it came to dropping hints about her past. She gave us a glimpse into her life, sharing some deeply personal stories that resonated with fans. “I grew up far from the spotlight, a dancer in the dark,” she revealed before her performance. “I never quite fit in. But fitting in was never something I really worried about. I knew early on I was born to stand out.”

Her words painted a vivid picture of someone who embraced their uniqueness, even when it meant standing apart from the crowd. She went on to say, “So, I did my own thing and ignored anyone who wanted me to conform. Embracing my oddities—snakes and all—has taken me far. From the Super Bowl to this very stage, technically I’ve been here before. But this time, I’m here to compete. And The Masked Singer seems like the perfect stage for me. Because look around, it doesn’t get much weirder than this.”

But the clues didn’t stop there. In her clue package, we saw a photo of Buckingham Palace, a heart-shaped tattoo with the words “True Love” written across it, and a large chess piece. These visuals added layers to her story, hinting at her international roots and possibly her career achievements.

Viewers were also given additional clues, including a DVD case with “Medusa: Snakes on the Astral Plane” written across the cover. There was also a note that read “$340 Million Sold!” This financial figure suggests she’s had significant success in her career, possibly in album sales or concert revenue.

What Did the Judges Think? Their Best Guesses for Medusa

Medusa’s performance of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” was nothing short of breathtaking, leaving the audience on their feet. The judges—Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger—were left scratching their heads, trying to piece together the clues.

Jenny threw out Ellie Goulding’s name, while Ken shocked everyone with his guess of Meghan Markle. Nicole, however, seemed to be on the right track by suggesting English singers like Jessie J and Lorde, given the clues pointing to someone from overseas. Robin also agreed that Lorde could be under the mask. Meanwhile, fans online were quick to connect the dots after Medusa performed Rihanna’s “Diamonds” during the battle part of the episode.

Who Is Medusa Really? The Fans Have Their Theory

Fans of the show are convinced that singer Bishop Briggs is the celebrity hiding beneath the Medusa mask. The chess piece in the clue package was a clever nod to her name, as that piece is referred to as the bishop. The references to England also led fans to believe the London-born songstress is the one behind the mask.
