It’s official! The bat was revealed to be Scheana Shay on The Masked Singer Season 13. And while her time on the show was slightly short-lived, Scheana shares that she was grateful for the opportunity to step outside her comfort zone and face her fears.
On the heels of her exit from The Masked Singer, Scheana discussed how it felt trading Vanderpump Rules for the singing competition. She also shared why being on Masked Singer trumped her years-long dream of doing Dancing with the Stars.
“This was my Dancing with the Stars,” she shared with Too Fab. “I always had pictured myself on Dancing with the Stars since the first season. I never pictured myself on The Masked Singer. If you went back in time and asked little Scheana, ‘Do you think one day you’ll be on national primetime television singing in a costume of a bat?’ No. To get this opportunity felt so amazing.”
Masked Singer Season 13 was “such a fun experience” for Scheana Shay
“I’d rate this experience a 10 out of 10,” Scheana told Entertainment Tonight enthusiastically. “Five stars, literally such a fun experience. I’m bummed it was so short-lived. But I’m like, you know better to leave early and leave them wanting more than like ‘why is she still here?’”
She added that it was one of the best experiences of her life.
She shared that the show helped her face her fears. It also gave her that confidence boost she feels she’s lost a bit in 11 years of being on reality TV. “Whether I sound good or not, whether I get made fun of or not, I’m accomplishing something huge for myself,” she said. “And I’m really freaking proud. I hope my daughter is too.”
Being the bat on Masked Singer also gave Scheana some freedom to separate herself from the “villain” character she’s often been portrayed as on VPR.
Scheana was eliminated after her performance of Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso. And while she was sad to go, she’s looking forward to what comes next. She has her memoir coming out this summer and she said she’d love to do a show like The Traitors. Maybe on that show she could put that villain experience to good use!
The Masked Singer airs on Fox, Wednesdays at 8/7c.
