After Night Angel's stellar performances, viewers are 100% positive that the celebrity behind the mask is Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss. Besides swearing they recognize her distinct voice, fans are pointing out that Kandi has a restaurant called Old Lady Gang, which would explain the mob of angry older women in the first clue package video. Plus, the strawberry castle clue could definitely be a reference to how the restaurant has a location in Castleberry Hill! (And, of course, the sweet tea clue matches up with Kandi being from the South.)

As for the rest of the clues we've been given, they match up perfectly with Kandi's known history as a member of the vocal group Xscape. Besides Night Angel's heavenly performances, the clue about her missing senior prom due to career obligations — but making sure to attend her graduation — was the same exact story Kandi posted on Instagram way back in 2014:

"My group #Xscape was mad at me for going to my graduation because we had a show that day," Kandi wrote. "I had missed all the senior trips, senior prom, etc... But I refused to miss my graduation!"

Plus, the clue with the off-the-hook telephone? Probably because she missed out on prom due to working with Xscape on their album "Off The Hook"!

Judge Nicole Scherzinger guessed actress Taraji P. Henson on the show — and some fans actually seem to think that she could be onto something! The Empire star certainly matches up with Night Angel saying she "built an empire" in the third clue package video. Night Angel also mentions in the second clue package that she "hustled" to build the empire, which might reference Taraji being in the 2005 movie Hustle & Flow. Additionally, when it's mentioned that the one thing Night Angel was "determined not to miss was earning her diploma," an astronomy quiz is shown on a wall, which could be a subtle nod to Taraji's role in the 2016 space movie Hidden Figures.
