The Masked Singer: Billy Ray Cyrus Unveiled as Lady Owl (2026)

Get ready for a jaw-dropping revelation! The Masked Singer has just unveiled a secret that left everyone stunned.

In a shocking twist, the Owl's identity was finally revealed on the latest episode of 'The Masked Singer.' But here's where it gets controversial... none of the judges guessed it right! So, who was this mysterious Owl?

During week two, the Owl dropped hints about his past success, claiming, "My name was on everyone's lips. People even copied my style." However, the fame didn't last, and he realized people were mocking him. Fortunately, he got a chance to prove them wrong.

In week five, the Owl revealed another layer of his story. He tried his luck in baseball but soon realized his heart was leading him elsewhere. "I soared to success," he said. "It's a lesson I teach my kids: follow your heart, and you'll hit a grand slam, no matter the field."

The Owl's heart was on full display during the Valentine's Day episode. He shared a heartfelt story about finding love at his lowest point, when he was being publicly dragged through the mud. "A text from an unknown number changed everything. It said, 'The vultures are circling, but I'm in your corner.' I didn't know who it was, but it turned out to be someone unexpected. She was as beautiful as her words, and our chemistry was real."

The judges noticed a clue in the Owl's package - a sign that read 'Mile 1992.' Could this be a significant year for him? He then performed Billy Idol's 'White Wedding,' accompanied by a tambourine dancer in red.

After the performance, a clue revealed the Owl's partner, Lady Owl, with an accent that Judge Jenny McCarthy picked up on. Ken Jeong asked if she was British, and all eyes turned to Rita Ora, who was raised in the U.K.

When asked about the message, the Owl became emotional, holding back tears. Unfortunately, he lost the matchup against Stingray, and the judges made their final guesses.

Robin Thicke initially guessed Walton Goggins but returned to his original guess, Dennis Quaid. Jenny remembered the heart monitor clue and wondered if it was a TV doctor, closing in on Ted Danson. Ken had originally considered Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson but agreed with Jenny's guess. Rita also stuck to her original guess, Kurt Russell.

But they were all wrong! The Owl was none other than Billy Ray Cyrus! Jenny exclaimed, "Oh my god! How did I not get that?"

Billy Ray Cyrus was thrilled to be part of the show, saying, "Music changes lives. It's an honor to be here with all of you." The judges were shocked that none of them guessed correctly, especially for such a big name.

Billy confirmed that Lady Owl and the lady in red were nods to his partner, Elizabeth Hurley, an 'angel' who entered his life. Billy and Elizabeth went public with their romance in 2025, but they first met while co-starring in the film 'Christmas in Paradise' in 2022.

The 64-year-old gained fame with his 1992 hit 'Achy Breaky Heart' and later became a household name starring alongside his daughter, Miley Cyrus, in the Disney series 'Hannah Montana.'

And this is the part most people miss... Billy Ray Cyrus, the father of Miley Cyrus, was the Owl! A true family affair on 'The Masked Singer.'
