In the final moments of the show, Pearl took off her mask and revealed herself as country singer Gretchen Wilson. Robin Thicke, one of the four celebrity judges on the show, was the only one of his colleagues to guess Pearl's identity.

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.

A path to learning the identity of Pearl on The Masked Singer was right in front of fans the whole time. The Season 13 winner dropped clues like the rest of the cast, but there was something more obvious if you knew where to look.
