"The Masked Singer" Unveils Swan After Odd Sarah Palin Reveal


Bella Thorne was revealed to be “The Masked Singer” underneath the Swan costume after the unconventional show unmasked Sarah Palin as the Bear last week.

The Masked Singer followed up last week’s episode—which saw the wildly unexpected and outrageously uncomfortable unveiling of former U.S. Vice President nominee Sarah Palin as the Bear singing “Baby Got Back”—by revealing that actress Bella Thorne was the singer underneath the Swan costume. The FOX guessing-game competition show shocked audiences last Wednesday evening with the most surprising reveal in the series’ three season-run, when the Republican politician turned out to be the Bear all along. It was a tough act to follow, since some are still wrapping their heads around Palin’s performance of Sir-Mix-a-Lot’s booty-worshipping anthem. Still, TMS managed to surprise at least the judges this week when the Swan was unmasked and Bella appeared.

None of the judges on the panel—which includes Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, and guest judge, Joel McHale—managed to land on Bella as the singer beneath the Swan, throwing out guesses for other actresses like Nina Dobrev, Megan Fox, Oli Munn, Mila Kunis, and Kristen Stewart. When it finally came time for the Swan to shed her feathers after she was voted out, Bella revealed that she had decided to do the show in the first place because her former The Duff co-star Ken had guessed her in a prior season.

“Well because Ken was guessing me as the Flamingo last season and I retweeted that and that made me super excited and I just started watching the show and I thought it was so, so amazing, so dope and I was like, ‘Let’s do that!’” Bella explained. “Getting in front of people really gets me super nervous, so this was really out of my comfort zone.”

Sarah Palin Raps "Baby Got Back" On "The Masked Singer"

Sarah Palin is full of surprises and shocked "The Masked Singer" fans when she rapped Sir-Mix-a-Lot's classic hit on the hit show.

In a "bet you didn't see that coming" moment, former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin was revealed to be the Bear on The Masked Singer. The revelation came after the former 2008 Republic Party nominee for Vice President of the United States got on stage with background dancers in tow and performed Sir-Mix-a-Lot's 1992 classic party jam, "Baby Got Back."

Palin said she decided to go with the bear because her nickname is "Mama Bear." She added, "This mama bear is coming out of hibernation. Maybe I’ve been a bit polarizing, but just like a bear, it’s been to protect my cubs. Under this mask, I found the courage to come out of my cage, stop hiding and face the world head-on.” Host Nick Cannon said it was probably the most surprising reveal on The Masked Singer yet.

The former politician addressed her performance in a tweet as she shared a clip of the show and wrote, "?Yep... t’was me behind the #BearMask, I LOVED singing on The Masked Singer stage ~ it truly was a blast (now that it’s over!!) Great to work with the BEST producers & crew, many of whom have been so good to our family over the years." Watch Sarah Palin give Sir-Mix-a-Lot's classic a try below.
