“Performing is my happy place, and to be doing that again just feels so nice,” said Ashlee Simpson after winning Season 14 of ‘The Masked Singer’ as Galaxy Girl. This victory marks a notable comeback for the singer, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with her triple-platinum album ‘Autobiography’.
During the finale, Simpson performed Olivia Rodrigo’s hit song ‘Good 4 U’, showcasing her vocal talent and stage presence. Her husband, Evan Ross, also participated in the same season, competing as Stingray, adding a personal touch to the competition.
Simpson, now 41 years old, has expressed her excitement about returning to music and performing live. “I learned so much, honestly,” she remarked, reflecting on her journey through the competition.
Her past experiences in the industry, including a memorable lip-syncing mishap during her 2004 appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’, have shaped her resilience and growth as an artist. Simpson’s return to the stage is particularly poignant after two decades since her debut album release.
Looking ahead, Simpson is preparing for a residency at the Venetian resort in Las Vegas, which is expected to bring her music back to the forefront. “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 creative freedom she experienced on ‘The Masked Singer’.
As she continues to evolve as an artist, Simpson has hinted at the possibility of collaborating with her sister, Jessica Simpson. “Wouldn’t that be great? I think so – let’s get Jessica on there,” she suggested, indicating a desire for family involvement in her future projects.
With her recent achievements and upcoming plans, Ashlee Simpson is poised for a significant resurgence in the music industry, captivating both old fans and new audiences alike.
