Tulip is one of the favorites to win the first season of “The Masked Dancer”. She was in the top six competing in the January 27 episode, after her incredible routine set for “Golden Fields” by Eva Cassidy in last week’s episode. We’re wondering who’s been hiding inside Tulip’s fantasy since she made her show debut on December 27 with her energetic “Fergalicious” dance from Fergie. We watched both presentations again. And we took another look at all the Tulip tip videos.
We are now more convinced than ever that the four judges (Paula Abdul, Brian Austin Green, Ken Jeong, Ashley Tisdale) are on the wrong track about Tulip being Charli D’Amelio, Ariana Grande or Heather Morris. Keep reading for all the spoilers for “The Masked Dancer” from season one, including Tulip’s real name.
We think the tulip is Mackenzie Ziegler, who was the star of the Lifetime reality show “Dance Moms”.

Tulip is clearly a trained dancer. Mackenzie and her older sister Maddie Ziegler, have been featured on this longtime reality show from 2011; we saw the number “11” in a box in his first video of clues. And Tulipa readily admits to having a rivalry (as in a sister) with her “best friend”.
We dismissed the hypothesis that Tulip was Maddie because the tracks fit Mackenzie so well. She is a sensation on TikTok, which is suggested in both track videos. And she starred on the stage “The Wizard of Oz”, which was referenced by Tulip’s ruby shoes that she clicked three times.

Another visual clue was a ticket to travel from AL to DC. At first we thought that this referred to a trip from Alabama to the nation’s capital, but now we realize that these are the initials of the Abby Lee Dance Company, which was the “Dance Moms” studio. And the image of the pyramid is well-known to fans of this relational show.
The two words she said certainly fit her biography. She first said “triple” and we know that Mackenzie can dance, sing and act. Then she said “princess”, which made us think of the 2018 animated film, “Ice Princess, Lily”, in which she gave voice to the title character.

We saw an eclipse in the second clue video: Mackenzie starred in the teen drama “Total Eclipse” for five seasons, starting in 2018.
And there is reference to “day and night”; Ziegler recorded a song with that name in 2016 with Johnny Orlando.
Finally, Mackenzie goes by the nickname “Mack”, as in the macaroni and cheese dish that we saw in the first tips video.

We will only find out if we are certain that Tulip is Mackenzie Ziegler when she is unmasked. This will only happen if she misses a match or wins the show. Do you think we’re right about Tulip’s real name? Speak in the comments section with your best guesses.
