"I told both of them because we're really close," said Caitlyn.
Caitlyn Jenner revealed she told daughters Kendall and Kylie about flexing her dulcet tones on "The Masked Singer" and that they had one very important question.

Her reasoning, according to the star, was that she loves a "good challenge" and that she had nothing else on her schedule due to the pandemic.
"Why not step out of the box, try something new?" she added.
Caitlyn also admitted she didn't realize what a difficult challenge she was signing up for.

While she didn't hesitate to join the Fox show for this round, the former Olympian revealed she had been offered a chance previously.
"Actually, I was asked to do it much earlier, and I said no" she explained. "One, it's kind of not my thing, and I was real busy at the time and I didn't think I had the time. I don't need to do it. I said no. And then, during this horrible pandemic that we've all been through, and dealing with this, they call. Now all of a sudden I had nothing but time. And I've always said to my kids, 'Don't be afraid to take risks in life.'"
"And so I thought, well, maybe I should practice what I'm preaching here and try something totally out of my element with something like this. And so I said yes."
She added with a laugh, "Then I panicked a little bit. 'Oh my God, I've got to sing and dance!'"
