It's an all-new season of masks, songs, and jaw-dropping reveals on The Masked Singer. The popular reality singing competition officially enters its tenth installment as your familiar hosts and panelists guess their way through a new collection of uncanny masks and kooky costumes.
Unlike previous seasons, Season 10 kicked off earlier on Sept. 10, 2023, with... a kickoff special! Here, the masks got to strut their stuff with some amazing performances to hype us up for the competition.
The actual competition officially premiered on Sept. 27 and the first round of contestants started to fight to stay in the running throughout the season.
Among them is Gazelle. Taking some small cues from the Zootopia character of the same name, this contestant is dressed up with a gazelle mask and is adorned with elegant flowery robes. Who is it under the mask, though? Here's everything we know about Gazelle so far.

So, who is Gazelle on 'The Masked Singer'? The answer is...
During the Season 10 finale, Gazelle was revealed to be Pretty Little Liars actress Janel Parrish.
"Singing is my first love, it’s the first thing I ever did when I was a kid, and somewhere along my journey singing became my biggest fear and biggest insecurity. As I became known for acting it almost felt like to say I was a singer was a lie," she said on show.
Season 10 of The Masked Singer airs new episodes every Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST on Fox.
