“Performing is my happy place, and to be doing that again just feels so nice,” Ashlee Simpson declared after winning Season 14 of The Masked Singer as Galaxy Girl. This victory marks a significant comeback for the 41-year-old singer, who first rose to fame in the early 2000s with her triple-platinum album Autobiography.

During the finale, Simpson captivated audiences with her performance of Olivia Rodrigo’s hit song Good 4 U. Her husband, Evan Ross, also participated in the season, competing as Stingray, adding a personal touch to the competition.

Simpson’s journey on The Masked Singer is particularly poignant given her infamous 2004 appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she faced a lip-syncing mishap that overshadowed her early career. Reflecting on her experiences, she stated, “I learned so much, honestly.”

As she celebrates her recent success, Simpson is also preparing for a residency at the Venetian resort in Las Vegas, further solidifying her return to the music scene. “I think it is that moment where it’s like so freeing to be in the mask and just get to play your character,” she added, highlighting the joy she finds in performance.

With 20 years since the release of her debut album, Simpson is eager to create new music and reconnect with her fans. She even hinted at a potential collaboration with her sister, Jessica Simpson, saying, “Wouldn’t that be great? I think so – let’s get Jessica on there.”

As Ashlee Simpson continues to embrace her artistic journey, fans are left excited for what lies ahead in her evolving career.
