Who won ‘The Masked Singer’ 14? Top 4 unmasked as in-person clues and iconic performances take over
‘The Masked Singer’ Season 14 wrapped with reveals that actually made sense, even if the road getting there was full of unexpected twists. Galaxy Girl, Pugcasso, Cat Witch, and Crane were the four finalists vying for one Golden Mask Trophy. Each contestant came in swinging, putting everything they had into their last performances. They tossed out fresh clues like breadcrumbs as the panel, including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora, began guessing.
And just when things were heating up, the show hit an unexpected pause. Right in the middle of primetime, a scheduled national address by Donald Trump cut into the broadcast for East Coast viewers. It stretched the episode beyond its planned runtime and left fans hanging for about 20 minutes. Eventually, the show picked back up. Crane was the first to be eliminated from the finale lineup, and when the mask came off, it revealed Normani. She’s known for her solo track ‘Motivation’ and her time with Fifth Harmony. Then came Cat Witch. Viewers at home already knew that it was Kylie Cantrall, but the panel finally caught up during the finale. And just like that, the competition was down to two. It was Pugcasso versus Galaxy Girl.
In the end, Pugcasso did not manage to take the crown. The mask came off, and underneath was Phillip Phillips, best known for winning ‘American Idol’ Season 11 and for his hit song ‘Home.’ His run on the show was solid, but it wasn’t enough to clinch the top spot. That meant there was only one left standing: Galaxy Girl. And when that helmet was finally lifted, the winner of Season 14 was revealed to be Ashlee Simpson. The name instantly sparked recognition, especially for fans who remember her early 2000s hits like ‘Pieces of Me’. It was a full-circle moment, especially since her husband, Evan Ross, had already been part of the season earlier as Stingray. And yes, there was another familiar face in the room.
Jessica Simpson, Ashlee’s older sister, was present for the big reveal. She served as an in-person clue for Galaxy Girl in the finale. With this win, Ashlee Simpson joins a list of past champions, including Gretchen Wilson, who took the title last season as Pearl, along with Vanessa Hudgens, Amber Riley, Teyana Taylor, Jewel, Wayne Brady, LeAnn Rimes, and the legendary group Boyz II Men. The season had already revealed a long lineup of celebrities before the finale episode, including Rachel Platten, Greg Mathis, Alexi Lalas, Jack Wagner, Heidi Montag, Billy Ray Cyrus, Teddi Mellencamp, Claudia Oshry, Taraji P. Henson, Tone Loc, Tiffany Haddish, Todd Chrisley, Julie Chrisley, and David Ortiz.
