Spice Girls Night Set for the masked singer — Taraji P. Henson to Guest-Panel
The singing competition returns Wednesday, February 18 at 8 p. m. ET with a themed episode of fan-favorite hits, a high-profile guest panelist and fresh clues for viewers to dissect. Season 14 continues to lean into spectacle and surprise as celebrities in elaborate costumes perform and one is unmasked each week.
What to expect from Wednesday’s episode
This week’s episode will spotlight songs made famous by one of pop’s most recognizable girl groups, giving performers a chance to tackle upbeat anthems and ballads that have long inspired sing-alongs. The themed night is designed to sharpen viewer guesses, as stylistic choices, costume reveals and vocal flourishes are all weighed against the show’s trademark clues.
A special guest will sit with the regular panel for the evening: Academy Award–nominated actor Taraji P. Henson will lend her instincts and personality to the guessing game. Her presence is likely to inject both star power and colorful commentary as panelists try to decipher which celebrity is hiding behind each mask.
Season 14 momentum and notable unmaskings
The current season has continued the program’s tradition of dramatic reveals and celebrity cameos. Recent episodes have delivered unexpected unmaskings; a clip released by the show earlier in the run revealed that legendary slugger David Ortiz was behind the Big Papi costume, a moment that generated significant fan reaction and social chatter.
Producers have leaned into themed nights and high-production performances to keep momentum strong. Each episode combines short video packages that drop hints about a performer’s identity with live vocal showcases, and the weekly elimination structure ensures steady stakes: one masked performer leaves the competition at the end of each episode and removes their mask.
How viewers can watch
The new episode airs Wednesday at 8 p. m. ET. Viewers who rely on traditional pay-TV will catch the broadcast at that time, and those without cable can access the episode through free trials offered by several live-TV streaming services. Promotional trial offers often allow new users temporary access to live channels that carry the show, though availability can vary by market and service.
For fans following the season, social media and clips released by the show supply rapid reaction and fresh hints after each episode airs. With guest panelists, themed nights and high-profile unmaskings, this season is paced to keep both casual viewers and dedicated sleuths engaged through spring.
Expect spirited performances Wednesday night as contestants tackle the girl-group catalog and the panel — augmented by a notable guest — tries to separate vocal skill from celebrity identity. Clues, costumes and crowd reaction will determine who survives and who is revealed next.
