Olivia Culpo Is Revealed As UFO on ‘The Masked Singer’
Olivia Culpo performed for the last time as a UFO on The Masked Singer after the model was voted off and her identity was revealed on the Fox program on May 3. The former Miss Universe made it the show’s quarter-finals. During her time on the series, she performed “Yellow” by Coldplay, “Stargazing” by Kygo and most recently Amy Winehouse’s “Tears Dry On Their Own,” all while dressed in a massive, metallic, seemingly uncomfortable, head-to-toe UFO costume.
The Rhode Island native, who comes from a musically talented family, shocked judges when she was unmasked on Wednesday night—especially musician and friend Nicole Scherzinger, whose jaw dropped after Culpo’s helmet was taken off.
“I can’t believe it’s Olivia! My friend, Olivia,” the former Pussycat Dolls lead singer gasped. “Babe, I know you’re the most gorgeous human ever. I mean, look at that face. But I didn’t know you could sing! That takes a lot of guts to get up there. You’ve graced our stage a few times.”
Culpo, who is newly engaged to NFL running back Christian McCaffrey, humbly responded by admitting she likes to sing in the shower and thanked the audience and judges for her time on the show—and her fourth-place win.
“Although I had a mask on, this is more of my personality that I got to share for the first time,” the 30-year-old said. “So much of what I feel like I have to do is not about that or people don’t want to see your personality. So this was really, really fun for me.”
