Ashlee Simpson has been crowned the winner of Season 14 of "The Masked Singer," unmasked as Galaxy Girl during the finale that aired March 25 on Fox. She took home the golden trophy after performing "Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo and "Try" by Pink. Her victory was bolstered by a surprise appearance from her sister, Jessica Simpson, who joined the panel just before the final reveal. Simpson said she rediscovered her love for performing behind the mask, calling the experience joyful and liberating. In second place was Phillip Phillips, revealed as Pugcasso, who performed "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper and "Sussudio" by Phil Collins. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg correctly guessed his identity, while others on the panel named Chris Allen, Justin Guarini and Bo Bice. Kylie Cantrall, already known to viewers as Cat Witch, was officially unmasked to the panel after singing "Leave (Get Out)" by Jojo and "Greedy" by Tate McRae. Rita Ora recognized her "Descendants" co-star, while Ken Jeong guessed Ashley Tisdale. The first unmasking of the night was Normani, revealed as Crane, following her performance of "Together Again" by Janet Jackson. Ora, McCarthy-Wahlberg and Thicke guessed correctly, though Jeong believed it was Kelly Rowland.
Ashlee Simpson's win as Galaxy Girl taps into a familiar Nigerian truth: sometimes, you need a mask to rediscover your voice.
