Season 11 will introduce all-new themed episodes, including “The Wizard of Oz,” in celebration of the 85th anniversary of the classic film, “TRANSFORMERS,” as the iconic brand celebrates its 40th anniversary, and special musical anthology episodes including “Billy Joel Night” and “Queen Night.”
Additional themes include “Girl Groups,” “Soundtrack of my Life,” “TV Theme Night,” and “Shower Anthems.” The themes will be weaved throughout the performers’ song selections, costumes, celebrity guests, set design… and may even provide clues as to WHO is under the mask.
Sixteen all-new celebrity singers will embrace the masked madness, disguised under intricate new costumes including “Gumball,” “Lizard,” “Ugly Sweater,” “Goldfish,” “Starfish,” “Book,” and more – including three new wildcards.
Check out a gallery of new costumes below.

Rita Ora steps in for Nicole Scherzinger
Rita is stepping in for regular panelist, Nicole Scherzinger who returned to London’s West End to star as Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard.
The pop star has extensive experience appearing on television talent shows. She is currently a panelist on the UK version of The Masked Singer, which makes her a natural replacement for Nicole. But she’s also a coach on The Voice Australia. Previously she served as a coach on The Voice UK in 2015 and later on The X Factor UK. In 2016 she hosted America’s Next Top Model and then ABC’s ill fated summer show Boy Band in 2017. She has also guest judged on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.
Best known for her pop hits including “R.I.P.” and “How We Do (Party),” her latest album, You & I, features the singles “Praising You (feat. Fatboy Slim)” and “You Only Love Me.” Rita is also an actress, including roles in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, as well as Pokémon: Detective Pikachu and Twist. Next, she’ll be seen opposite Jamie Foxx and Robert De Niro in the film Tin Soldier and with Brandy in The Descendants sequel The Rise of Red.
