‘I know I’m not a good singer, but I’m here to put on a fun performance and just have a great time. I want to make my family smile and laugh from afar, and that’s what’s giving me the courage tonight,’ Afghan Hound said at the end of her clues package.

Nick asked her why she decided to come on The Masked Singer.
‘Honestly, my life over the past year has changed drastically. I lost both my parents to the federal system and now I have custody of my 15-year-old brother and 10-year-old sister. So, if I can teach them anything, it’s take every opportunity that comes your way and don’t back down,’ said Savannah, referencing her parents Todd and Julie who are serving federal prison sentences for tax evasion and bank fraud and her siblings Grayson and Chloe.
Jenny, 51, told Savannah that she was funny.
‘I know singing is not for me. I don’t know what a note is, nor do I know what rhythm is. But it was a good experience,’ Savannah said.
Nick asked Savannah if she had anything to say to her fans, friends and family.
‘Yeah, a big reason I did this was ’cause I know my parents can watch it, and that was a big thing for me,’ Savannah said.
‘Sending nothing but love and support,’ Nick said.
