Season six of The Masked Singer has some of my favorite costumes in the show’s history. One of those is the regal but feisty Queen of Hearts. She has the voice to back up her look too! So who is the celebrity under the Queen of Hearts mask? Let’s break down the clues and make a prediction for who it is!
In the Queen of Heart’s first clue package, she starts by saying “when you follow your heart, it’s gonna lead you on some amazing adventures” in what sounds like a Southern accent. We see a red gem on the screen. A clock is shown reading 10:00, with the hour hand pointing to a “50” and the minute hand pointing to a “60.” Then, one of the men in black is dressed as the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.
The Queen of Hearts has spent her “whole life learning how to champion her own heart.” Growing up, she “went on a lot of walks” in her household. She left home when she was pretty young and it was “definitely scary at times.” We see what looks like a knight chess piece, then a ghost floats by. The hardships she’s overcome have made her who she is. A framed picture of Hilary Swank is shown with “BFF” written on it. Her clues end on a chess board, claiming “all of our hearts are destined to be broken; it’s what we do with the pieces that make us extraordinary.”

Nicole predicted Britney Spears may be under the mask. Jenny thought it could be a country singer like Kellie Pickler, Faith Hill or Carrie Underwood, but then said it might be Fergie. Ken knew “exactly who this is” as a “fellow Oscar winner” and guessed Renée Zellweger.
Online, guesses are more focused on powerful female singers. Though there were a number of people agreeing with Jenny that it is Kellie Pickler! Other popular predictions are Jewel, Celine Dion, Jessica Simpson, or Mariska Hargitay.
This was one of the more obvious clue packages once you start to narrow in on the voice. Everything lines up perfectly with one particular singer and that is…
First of all, it had to be someone with a strong voice and Jewel has just that. Then when you look into the clues, the picture becomes clearer and clearer. Here’s how the clues point to Jewel being the Queen of Hearts!
When she was walking out onto the stage, it said the Queen of Hearts’ weakness is “Standing Still,” which is the name of a Jewel song. All the clues about “following your heart” really point to her hit song “Intuition” with the same message. The first television appearance she made was in The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True, explaining the Tin Man clue. Leaving home at an early age also makes sense for Jewel, because she received a scholarship to go to the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan when she was 15.
The ghost clue could be a nod to her song “Haunted” or her “Spirit World Tour” in 1999. And the Hilary Swank framed photo? Apparently she and the actress are friends! Finally, Jewel even has an album called “Goodbye Alice in Wonderland,” which would explain the theme of her costume and all the clues.
Do you agree with our prediction? Or are there any clues we missed? Watch The Masked Singer on Wednesday nights for more clues and don’t forget to tune in to The Recap Show for full episode breakdowns and new reveals each week!
