Gretchen Wilson Wins 'The Masked Singer' Season 13. Andy Grammer is Runner-Up
After 12 very entertaining weeks of performances by some of our favourite masked celebrities, country music legend Gretchen Wilson aka #PearlMask was revealed as the season 13 winner of The Masked Singer.
During tonight's two-hour season finale, the final four performed one last time as the viewers and judges made their final guesses.
Brian Kelley, aka Mad Scientist Monster Mask, formerly of country duo Florida Georgia Line, was the first to be unmasked at the end of the first hour. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, who was tied with Robin Thicke with four wins, guessed Kelley correctly, pushing her into the lead to win the Golden Ear trophy.
At the top of the second hour, Coral Mask was revealed as the next to be unmasked. This time, Rita Ora guessed right, pushing her to three wins, as it was her Disney Channel colleague and Zombies (2018) star Meg Donnelly, who also happens to be the youngest finalist in Masked Singer history at age 24.
Then it was the final two masks, Boogie Woogie and Pearl, who went head to head in two phenomenal performances. First was runner-up Boogie Woogie, who was revealed to be singer/songwriter Andy Grammer, with an electrifying rendition of "Love the Hell Out of You" by Lewis Capaldi. Out of the final four, Boogie Woogie was the only mask none of the judges guessed.
And taking the top spot with a powerful performance of "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders was none other than Wilson. At the very last moment, Robin guessed Wilson, citing her "tougness and amazing gritty voice" in her song "Redneck Woman", making him tied for the lead with McCarthy-Wahlberg both with five guesses.
When host Nick Cannon asked Wilson what made her do the show, she said, "The Masked Singer is an amazing show and I've had a rough couple of years. I was injured, I was in a wheelchair, and there was a moment where I didn't think I'd ever get back to this place. And I worked really hard, I prayed really hard, and I got so far. But this opportunity has really proven to me that there's nothing I can't do."
Wilson, who noted her daughter as her biggest accomplishment, was then joined by the panel, and closed out the show with a fierce performance of her hit "Redneck Woman".
Season 14 of The Masked Singer is set to air in January 2026 on FOX.
