Former Miss USA and Miss Universe Olivia Culpo Revealed as the Latest Masked Singer: See Her Out-of-This-World Performance
Former Miss USA and Miss Universe Olivia Culpo was unmasked on The Masked Singer on May 3, revealing herself to be the person behind the UFO character.
The model stunned the judges with her rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Tears Dry On Their Own” for the British Invasion theme.
So despite the judges’ guesses of Molly Sims, Lily Collins, Gigi Hadid, or Rebecca Romijn, Olivia was the one to be revealed. With her elimination, Macaw, California Roll, and Medusa will advance to the semi-finals next week.
In a candid on-camera moment, Olivia, who recently got engaged to NFL player Christian McCaffrey, revealed her initial nervousness when she sang her first song but also expressed her excitement at making it this far.
She explained that this experience had pushed her out of her comfort zone and made her more vulnerable than ever before. Given that so much of her career is based on her physical appearance, adding value through her energy or singing felt like there was more she had to offer.
In addition, Olivia joked that she was getting older, so she needed to hold onto something. Speaking to E! News after her unmasking, Olivia revealed that she kept her involvement in the show a secret from her loved ones, including her sisters and fiancé.
She cited their inability to keep secrets and described the show as “super top secret.” Olivia said she had been familiar with the Fox show through her friendship with Judge Nicole Scherzinger, and many of her friends had good things to say about it.
She wanted to have fun and challenge herself in a way she had never done before, even though there were things that she was worried about, as anyone would be doing something so new and outside of their comfort zone.
Olivia also shared a tried-and-true trick she uses to calm her nerves before performances: eating a banana. She explained that it has always been her routine for recitals, arrangements, or chamber music since it contains potassium, which calms the nerves. Olivia continued the tradition before each of her performances on The Masked Singer.
