‘The Masked Dancer’ Spoilers: Who is Tulip? Ariana Grande, Maddie Ziegler to Charli D’Amelio, here are the clues

The masked celebrity came dressed as a Tulip, introduced herself someone who got bullied in the school but was very active in acrobatics

The season premiere of ‘The Masked Dancer’ finally kicked off with the introduction of five contestants from the Group Fire namely Cricket, Disco Ball, Exotic Bird, Hammerhead and Tulip. After Hammerhead showed his powerful dance moves on Backstreet Boys’ hit number number ‘Everybody (Backstreet's Back)’, it was time for another costumed celebrity to hit the stage.

With an intention to leave the panelists and audiences guessing, the masked celebrity who came dressed as a Tulip, introduced herself someone who got bullied in the school but was very active in acrobatics. While speaking about herself in the montage, the Tulip also said, “We are all in this together” to which panelist Paula Abdul thought she might be from ‘High School Musical.’

The Tulip then performed on Fergie’s hit single ‘Fergalicious’ which got the panelists Brian Austin Green, Ken Jeong, Ashley Tisdale and Paula quite animated. When it came to using the “Word-Up” feature, the Tulip went for the word “Triple.” Carefully looking at her moves, Paula commented that the Tulip was certainly a trained dancer. She also asked the Tulip if she had a ponytail under the mask to which she replied with a firm yes. Joining all the dots, Paula made a guess that the Tulip might be Ariana Grande while Ashley thought she could be the TikTok star, Charli D’Amelio. Ken took a guess with Heather Morris as he thought Tulip acted like his on-screen daughter from musical comedy-drama series ‘Glee.’  

A lot of social media users, who were pretty excited for the premiere, also expressed their opinions on the same. One user stated, “THE TULIP IS @kenzie OR @maddieziegler DONT FIGHT ME ON THIS ONE #TheMaskedDancer” Another expressed, “ITS LITERALLY SO OBVIOUS THE TULIP IS MILLIE BOBBY BROWN on the masked dancer and yet no one guessed her.” While making a guess, one viewer stated, “I'm watching the masked dancer and istg the tulip is definitely @whoisaddison and nobody can change my mind #TheMaskedDancer” Another added, “istg if the tulip on the masked dancer isnt Maddie Ziegler im gonan cry. thats literally her voice #MaskedDancer”

Costumed celebrities will be joined on stage by masked partners and back-up dancers, as they perform a series of dances together spanning from hip-hop to salsa, jazz to tap dancing and more. The brand new dancing series is being hosted by actor and comedian Craig Robinson. 'The Masked Dancer' is produced by Fox Alternative Entertainment and Warner Bros Unscripted & Alternative Television and is based on the South Korean format, 'The Masked Singer.’
