Galaxy Girl mystery deepens on 'The Masked Singer' as Season 14 clues scream early-2000s pop royalty
Galaxy Girl has already taken the stage twice on Season 14 of 'The Masked Singer', first on Premiere Night and again during Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Night. She kicked things off with Chappell Roan's 'Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl', and followed it up with No Doubt's 'Just a Girl'. Both performances landed smoothly, with a voice that feels familiar. She might be someone who's done this before. The judges, naturally, fired off guesses. On the premiere, Rita Ora floated Lindsay Lohan, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg suggested Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Ken Jeong went with Emma Stone. A week later, the theories changed to Dixie D'Amelio, Anne Hathaway, and Hilary Duff.
Big names. But none of them really lock into the clues once you start lining things up carefully. Galaxy Girl's clue packages have been specific. She shared that she was accepted into top schools on scholarship and found herself onstage at an incredibly young age. That detail lines up perfectly with Ashlee Simpson's real-life story, as per ScreenRant. Simpson enrolled at the School of American Ballet in New York City at just eleven years old. She became the youngest student ever accepted. Also, Galaxy Girl confessed that she was human, that she never had perfection down, and that she walked out.
This sentence alone rings bells of clarity. Simpson's infamous 'Saturday Night Live' lip-syncing incident, in which the wrong musical track played during her song, ended with her doing an awkward little jig and exiting the stage. The fallout was brutal. Visual hints have continued stacking up. A glowing heart appeared early on, likely a nod to Simpson's catalog of pop tracks. A "Welcome 2 LA" sign flashed on screen, which works both as a reference to her family's move to Los Angeles and to her song 'La La'. Then there was a calendar page with Friday the 13th circled, a clear wink toward 'Freaky Friday'. The film featured her song 'Just Let Me Cry'.
One of the clues involved jingle bells and a mention of the holidays being important to her career. It also makes sense. Simpson released 'Christmas Past, Present, and Future' in 2002, and it later found a second life through Radio Disney. A bookstore popped up in another package, which can be connected to 'Autobiography', Simpson's debut album that went triple platinum. Then came the astrology clues. Constellations for Virgo and Libra appeared, and this is where things get especially interesting. Simpson was born on October 3, making her a Libra. Her husband, Evan Ross, was born on August 26, which puts him in Virgo territory.
Fans immediately latched onto that pairing, especially since many believe fellow Season 14 contestant Stingray could be Ross himself, according to Just Jared. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe not. A yellow surfboard also made an appearance, another interesting detail. Simpson has won two Teen Choice Awards, both represented by surfboards. Galaxy Girl also spoke about how people tried to manage her image because she'd been in front of cameras for so long. The night before one of the biggest shoots of her life, she made a drastic change without telling anyone.
The next day, everyone panicked. She didn't. She trusted herself. The result went global, and the look became iconic. That story aligns with Simpson's decision in 2004 to dye her hair brunette right before filming the video for 'Pieces of Me'. Fresh off '7th Heaven', she grabbed a box of dye from CVS and did it herself. The result became her signature. At this point, all the clues are lining up.
