The Masked Singer season 14 saw a dazzling victory as singer and actress Ashlee Simpson Ross claimed the crown as Galaxy Girl. Among the many memorable moments she experienced during the season, Ashlee has now shared which one stands out as her favorite. This season was particularly historic, as it featured Ashlee and her husband, actor and singer Evan Ross, as the first-ever married duo to compete against each other, taking on the personas of Galaxy Girl and Stingray, respectively.
As Galaxy Girl, Ashlee delivered several standout performances, captivating audiences with renditions of songs such as “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl” by Chappell Roan on Premiere Night, “Just A Girl” by No Doubt on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Night, “Drive” by Incubus on Ozzfest Night, “Lights” by Ellie Goulding on Star Trek Night, “Misery Business” by Paramore during the Semi-Finals, and an electrifying finale featuring “Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo and “Try” by P!nk. She concluded her journey on the show with a powerful performance of her own chart-topping hit, “Pieces of Me,” which was particularly poignant as her sister, singer Jessica Simpson, unmasked her.
Over the course of the season, the panelists gradually pieced together Ashlee’s identity. Guest panelist Kelly Osbourne was the first to correctly identify her during Ozzfest Night. By the finale, Jessica Simpson’s presence was a clear hint, leading all the panelists—Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora—to unanimously select Ashlee as their final guess. Jenny and Rita had already suspected it earlier in the competition.
Throughout The Masked Singer season 14, the panelists did eventually guess Ashlee’s identity correctly, beginning with guest panelist Kelly Osbourne on Ozzfest Night. During the finale, Jessica’s presence gave away Ashlee’s identity, and all of the panelists, including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora, stated Ashlee for their final guesses, after Jenny and Rita had figured it out earlier.

Ashlee said, “The sets that they gave me were absolutely gorgeous. And getting to fly on my last song was probably my favorite moment. At first, I was scared. I was like, “Oh, wait. How am I gonna …?” And then I was like, “Let’s just do it!” Then I did it, and it felt so powerful and beautiful.”
