Season 14 of The Masked Singer exploded onto screens with jaw-dropping reveals, shocking eliminations, and a twist fans didn’t see coming.

From the very first note, the premiere delivered high-stakes battles, celebrity shockers, and a mystery insider twist that has viewers buzzing.

Season 14 of The Masked Singer kicked off with a two-hour premiere packed with drama, featuring an early unmasking, a brand-new insider twist, and a double elimination that immediately divided fans.

Host Nick Cannon hyped the episode with promises of 10 brand-new masked contestants and what he called the most decorated star in the show’s history a claim the premiere quickly proved was true.

The premiere introduced a revamped competition structure, pairing contestants into five intense head-to-head duels. Winners of each battle advanced automatically, while losers were sent to a bottom group, where a second vote determined two dramatic eliminations on opening night.

Adding another layer of suspense was America’s Insider, a season-long secret twist. Kylie Cantrall, performing as Cat Witch, secretly shared her journey with viewers, leaving the judges completely unaware during filming.

The show opened with returning judge Rita Ora performing “Golden”, joined by Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, setting the stage for a night full of surprises.
