Ant made her entrance on the February 12 episode of The Masked Singer Season 13 as part of Group A. During her debut, she performed “Just Give Me a Reason” by Pink, leaving the panelists—Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora—speculating about her identity. The guesses included popular names like Lea Michele, Lindsay Lohan, Kesha, and Ashanti.
So, who is Ant? For those eager to unveil the mystery behind this elusive performer, we have gathered key details and clues that suggest a surprising identity.
Gold Derby’s leading speculation is that Ant is none other than Kesha. Here’s a look at the clues that support this intriguing theory:
Audio Clues
In her introductory monologue, Ant shared, “Why am I an ant? The thing about ants is that they’re small and mighty. And did you know, they can carry over 50 times their body weight? But just because you can carry a heavy burden, doesn’t mean you should have to. I’ve been forced to bear a deep, dark secret for my entire career. And because of this secret, powerful people tried to erase me, to brush me off, to stomp me out. The weight of it broke my spirit — broke me. But recently, I made a decision. I could stay broken, or I could be a warrior. That’s the reason I’m here. To fight for my voice, to be heard, and, like any ant, march toward real change.” This resonates with Kesha’s real-life struggles against abuse and discrimination from her former producer.
Visual Clues
In addition to her audio clues, Ant’s video package featured several intriguing visual elements, including picnic-themed attire, a desolate road, a dollhouse, a candelabra, a tree marked with a red X, and a purple witch’s hat. These visuals can be linked to Kesha’s 2020 album High Road, alongside her earlier works, Warrior (2012) and Gag Order (2023), which reference her journey of survival. Kesha has also occasionally referred to herself as a witch in social media posts, aligning with the purple hat clue.
In-Person Clues
After her performance, Ant expressed, “I’m really here on stage tonight for all the survivors. I see you. Anyone that has had to endure, I see you, I support you. Together, no one will ever stomp us out.” This message of support mirrors Kesha’s own experiences and her commitment to advocate for others who have faced similar challenges. Her legal battles have unveiled various forms of abuse, yet she has emerged resilient, using her platform to uplift and support fellow survivors.
