Get out your magnifying glasses, flip open your notebooks and bring up a new Google tab, detectives, because the new season of The Masked Singer is almost here. However, before the contestants hit the stage later this month, fans are getting a sneak peek (and their first clues) at the new costumes!
Nick Cannon hosted a special preview of The Masked Singer season 4 on Sunday, which took viewers behind the scenes and gave America a tantalizing look at the unique costumes and characters, and what fans can expect from the new batch of secret stars.
We're here to break down all the fresh new clues, dish on the fun spoilers and collect all the hints about the hidden celebs' secret identities. We're also here to keep track of everyone who's been unmasked, just like we did for season 1, for season 2, and again for season 3 (where we nailed nearly every prediction).
From hints buried deep in the show's various clue packages throughout the season, to some of the internet's best guesses and aggregated deductions, we're compiling a comprehensive breakdown of every piece of evidence to try and crack the case of who's under each elaborate mask.
As more stars are unmasked as the season progresses, ET will update this master list with new clues and theories about the celebrity inside each costume. For now, here's a look at what we know thus far (if anything) about each season 4 character!
