For better or for worse, the United States got to know former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin when the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) chose her as his running mate in the 2008 presidential election.

Since losing in 2008, Palin starred in a reality television series, endorsed Donald Trump in a bizarre speech, and caused hijinks in her native Alaska.


But on Wednesday night, Palin was back in the spotlight in a manner that no one could've predicted.

Palin was revealed to be "Bear" on The Masked Singer—a singing competition in which celebrities compete in elaborate costumes that hide their identities, giving the judges a chance to guess who they are.

Palin was eliminated after rapping "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, and the audience was shocked to learn her identity.

Watch the reveal—and the judge's guesses of her identity—below.

The judges fawned over Palin's knowledge of the lyrics, and as the credits rolled, they watched stunned as she reprised "Baby Got Back" and the world burned.

Palin took to Twitter after the reveal...and alluded to a possible run for office again in the future?


Seriously...what is happening?

Giphy


People had a lot of feelings.




Is this Hell?



Palin did make one spot-on statement as she said goodbye to The Masked Singer:

"This is the weirdest thing I've ever done."

Yup.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
