The Fox reality show “The Masked Singer” had their finale last night, crowning a season 13 champion. And now that all the contestants have been unmasked, we now know that two country stars were among the top four!

First to be revealed: Brian Kelley was revealed to be under the Mad Scientist costume. Over the course of the competition, he had turned in amazing renditions of songs from Sugarland, Justin Bieber, and Shawn Mendes. Before being unmasked, some of the judges thought he might be a different half of a star duo-Ronnie Dunn, a comparison that Kelley took as a huge compliment.

As for the big winner? The character Pearl took home the trophy, and was revealed to be the Redneck Woman herself: Gretchen Wilson! Just over a year ago, Gretchen was in a wheelchair recovering from an injury. In fact, she was just out of her walking boot when she agreed to do the show. Wilson said she had been approached several times about joining “Masked Singer, but had been hesitant. “Am I too old for this? What are my real chances?”

Turns out her chances were excellent!
