Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora returned this season as panelists, and Nick Cannon is back to host. The Group A finals show Coral, Paparazzo, and Ant hitting the stage. So, who’s singing beneath the Coral mask? Here’s what fans think.
[Spoiler alert: The Masked Singer Season 13 spoilers ahead regarding Coral’s identity.]
Who is Coral in ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 13? Predictions are in!
The Masked Singer Season 13 introduced Coral in Group A. She sang “Mad World” by Tears for Fears in the premiere, followed by “Accidentally in Love” by Counting Crows on “Shrek Night.” Coral performs once more with the remainder of Group A in “A Rat Pack Tribute Night” on Feb. 26, 2025.
During the premiere, Coral talked heavily about experiencing career rejection. “The Coral costume is so majestic, but she’s also got these hard, tough edges, the kind that’s strong and resilient,” she explained in her clue package. “And that’s why I relate to her. She noted how she “dreamed of being a star” since she was young. “I asked everyone, ‘Please, please, please let me sing for you!’ But, for eight years, it was rejection after rejection.”
Visual clues in her clue package included a model White House with an American flag and a computer screen showing a broken heart. The clip also showed a neon “LIVE” sign sitting in the sand at the bottom of the ocean.
“I was this little girl struggling through the madness of the industry,” she continued. “Just as I was about to give it all up, a small victory turned into my voice being heard across the globe.”
So, who sings under the Coral mask? Fans on Reddit think it’s Meg Donnelly. Donnelly played Taylor Otto in American Housewife, Addison in the Disney horror/musical Zombies series, and Mary Campbell in The Winchesters. In 2013, she understudied on the 2013 NBC special, The Sound of Music Live!
Additional guesses include Dove Cameron, Rachel Platten, Halle Bailey, and Hayden Panettiere.
Coral’s 2nd clue package references Meg Donnelly’s role in ‘The Winchesters’
Coral sang “Accidentally in Love” by the Counting Crows in The Masked Singer Season 13 Episode 2. Before her performance, fans received more clues in her second package.
The clue package shows Coral sitting and reading a comic book titled Adventures of Coral. “So, when a spell was cast, and I met this leading man I thought was totally cool, just like Donkey did with Shrek, I forced him to be my friend,” she says. “But then I started to notice his strong confidence and grit made me feel safe, and I think he secretly started liking all my dumb jokes.” Coral then grabs a photograph of a male Coral and blows kisses to him.
Coral notes she “accidentally fell in love” with the man. While looking out a window, she sees a howling werewolf. “So, tonight, this is for my handsome ogre,” she says. “My tall drink of swamp water. My Shrek.”
While the werewolves reference Donnelly’s role in the Zombies movies, her romance references her boyfriend, Drake Rodger. He played John Winchester in The Winchesters. They met while filming the series.

The Masked Singer Season 13 Group A finals air on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025. Thanks to Coral’s killer vocals, many fans suspect she’ll move forward unmasked.
Coral reportedly sings “Luck Be a Lady” by Frank Sinatra for the evening. Ant sings “Fever” by Peggy Lee, and Paparazzo sings “That’s Amore” by Dean Martin.
The preview for the episode shows Rita Ora guessing Charli XCX for one singer, Robin Thicke guessing Aubrey O’Day, and Ken Jeong guessing Renée Zellweger.
“Somebody stop us!” Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg says.
