The Masked Singer Astronaut Is…
If you look at the comments on Instagram and Twitter, there is a clear consensus which celebrity is under the Astronaut mask. Maybe it’s because he’s a well-known singer already! Or because he has fans all over who recognize his distinguishable voice. But everyone seems to think the Astronaut is…
Hunter Hayes!

In case you don’t know who he is, Hunter Hayes is a 28-year-old country singer from Louisiana. He is best known for his two hit songs, “Wanted” and “I Want Crazy.” “Wanted” went Platinum, which could account for one of the Gold Albums in the latest Group C preview.
Hunter has been nominated for five ACM Awards and five Grammy Awards, and has won two American Country Awards. Aside from that, he’s won multiple People’s Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards. Hunter Hayes has also toured with huge acts such as Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Reba McEntire, Kelsea Ballerini, and Dan + Shay.
Plus, he recently performed on The Bachelor, so reality TV is not new to him. Do you think Hunter Hayes could be The Masked Singer Astronaut? Let us know your thoughts! And we’ll see more on The Masked Singer, Wednesday at 8/7c on FOX.
