'The Masked Singer' audiences now know that Tina Turner was one of the names that the judges guessed for the identity of the person behind the Popcorn mask. Fans of the show tuning in from home agreed with the judges and a majority of them believed that it's indeed the 'What's Love Got To Do With It' hitmaker behind the rather quirky mask.

After each performance on the show, fans take to Twitter to discuss the identity of the celebrities under the elaborate costumes. After Popcorn stepped on the stage and belted out Pink's hit 'What About Us' in a voice as pitch-perfect as it could be, and that coupled with Jenny McCarthy said it could be Ms Turner, Twitter exploded with reactions saying that they agree with the guess and are excited about the iconic singer to be on the show. Here are some of the reactions.

"Popcorn on #TheMaskedSinger talks like Cyndi Lauper and sings like Tina Turner. What a combo."



 

"I am very confident in my guess that Tina Turner is Popcorn #TheMaskedSinger"



 

"Im calling it now... #PopcornMask is Tina Turner!!! Proud Merry Go Round? Okay! #TheMaskedSinger"



 

These are just a couple of tweets but there are more than 2500 tweets with Tina Turner's name and this left the singer's fans frazzled and assuming the worst. However, with a little bit of sleuthing, they realized that it had nothing to do with her health and she was alive and well. In fact, it was 'The Masked Singer' that caused the trend. After realizing the same, her fans took to Twitter once again to express their happiness and relief and also to notify the rest of the fandom that everything is great in the Turner universe. Here are a couple of reactions. 

"STOP MAKING OLDER PEOPLE TREND DURING COVID YOU AWFUL PEOPLE! YOU HAD ME THINKING TINA TURNER WAS DEAD!!!!"



 

"Whew chile don't yall do this to me. My heart skipped a few beats when I saw Tina Turner's name."



 

"#IngrahamAngle Oh Jeeminy Christmas, Twitter! Don't scare me like that! I saw Tina Turner trending and I was like NO NO NO! She's on the Masked Singer. Whew!!!!!!!!!!"



 

"TINA TURNER IS ALIVE AND SHE'S TRENDING."



 

"Please don't ever make Tina Turner trend again. My heart sank so deeply just now."



 

"I saw Tina Turner trending and my heart literally stopped. 2020, you took enough from us!"
