'The Masked Singer' winner revealed: See who was under Pearl's costume
Season 13 of "The Masked Singer" came to a climactic end May 7. The reality singing competition, which spices up a well-worn format by putting its contestants in elaborate disguises, entered its final episode of the year with just four candidates left. Pearl, Boogie Woogie, Mad Scientist and Coral, all nicknames for the costumes the celebrities don for their performances, duked it out in one final showdown − the winner nabbing the Golden Mask trophy and being forced to reveal themselves. 'The Masked Singer' winner Vanessa Hudgens reveals if she plans on returning to music Pearl ultimately reigned triumphant, impressing judges with a rendition of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree." Judges and viewers alike are kept in the dark on the identities of the masked singers, given clues on what (usually mid-profile) name they might be and tasked with recognizing their voice sight unseen. Pear turned out to be country star Gretchen Wilson, an early-2000s staple, whose song "Redneck Woman" became an anthem. Wilson, who stumped almost all the judges (aside from Robin Thicke), said after her win that she had done the show to build confidence after a difficult couple of years. "I've had a rough couple of years," she said. "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. I worked really hard, I prayed really hard, and I got so far." "This opportunity has really proven to me that there's nothing I can't do," she continued. After Wilson's win, the other finalists also demasked. Boogie Woogie was singer Andy Grammer, Coral was "Zombies" actress Meg Donnelly and Mad Scientist was former Florida Georgia Line member Brian Kelley. Other masked stars this season included Flavor Flav, James Van Der Beek and Candace Cameron Bure. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Who is Pearl on 'The Masked Singer?'

'The Masked Singer' season 13 winner revealed after finale showcases season's top vocal performances
Country music star Gretchen Wilson was revealed as the winner of The Masked Singer season 13 after a tightly contested finale that aired on 7 May 2025. Competing as Pearl, Wilson delivered the final performance of the evening with a rendition of "I'll Stand by You" by The Pretenders before being crowned the champion. The finale opened with judge Rita Ora performing 'Pink Pony Club' by Chappell Roan, joined on stage by finalists Pearl, Boogie Woogie, Coral, and Mad Scientist Monster. Each contestant shared personal reflections in their clue packages before taking the stage for their performances. Pearl impressed with a powerful version of KT Tunstall's 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,' prompting judge Ken Jeong to call her 'the Meryl Streep of Masked Singer.' The first elimination was Mad Scientist Monster, who revealed himself as Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line. Coral, unmasked as Disney Channel actress Meg Donnelly, followed. The final sing-off featured Pearl and Boogie Woogie, with the latter performing Lewis Capaldi's 'Love the Hell Out of You.' After votes from the studio audience and panel, Pearl was declared the winner. Before removing her mask, Boogie Woogie revealed his identity as singer Andy Grammer. His clue—a breast cancer ribbon—was a tribute to his late mother. Pearl's clue came in the form of sparkly trousers gifted by Dolly Parton, marking a milestone performance with her idol. She was then unmasked as Gretchen Wilson. Reflecting on the victory, Wilson said, 'I almost hit the floor!' Season 13 of The Masked Singer is now streaming on Hulu.
