May 7, 2025 — After eight performances and a plethora of incorrect guesses as to the identity of “Pearl,” Gretchen Wilson emerged from the lavish sea-themed costume to hoist the Golden Mask Trophy as the winner of the popular show’s 13th season tonight. Judges Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, Rita Ora, and Robin Thicke and host Nick Cannon were all over the map trying to guess “Pearl’s” identity after each performance. Following her last performance, Thicke finally named “Pearl” as Gretchen Wilson.
As “tour manager,” Wilson will provide support and guidance to the emerging musicians while they make their way across America, ensuring the tour’s success while sharing her own expertise and experiences on the road as a touring artist.
Wilson also takes to the stage to deliver a performance of her own as part of the show.
