In a recent interview, Todd Chrisley, the star of the reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” opened up about his feelings regarding his daughter Savannah’s participation in the popular competition series, “The Masked Singer.” Todd, who has been in the spotlight for various reasons, including his recent release from prison, shared that he found himself too “embarrassed” to watch Savannah perform on the show.
Savannah Chrisley, 27, took to the stage in 2024 as the Afghan Hound during the show’s eleventh season. Despite her efforts, Todd humorously confessed that he missed her performance because he was concerned about her singing abilities. “I missed The Masked Singer because I was embarrassed for her,” he said during an episode of ABC News Studios’ “The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup,” which aired on June 29, 2025. He added, “I knew she was going to do it, but she cannot sing,” eliciting laughter from his wife, Julie Chrisley.
Julie, 52, who served time alongside Todd after their conviction for bank and tax fraud, revealed that she watched Savannah’s performance while they were incarcerated. The couple was sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison but were pardoned by former President Donald Trump in May 2025 after serving just over two years.
Savannah, who has been a pillar of support for her parents during their difficult times, took Todd’s comments in stride. She described herself as “awful” at singing during the interview, showing a sense of humor about her father’s candidness. Todd, however, expressed pride in Savannah’s bravery for participating in the show, stating, “I guess the beautiful part of that is she went and did that, and she didn’t care how bad she was.”
The interview with Todd and Savannah was part of a series of appearances the Chrisley family made following their release from prison. During a previous interview, Todd shared that his son Grayson, 19, sought comfort by asking to sleep in his parents’ room the first night they returned home. “He came in and he said, ‘Can I sleep with you tonight?’” Todd recalled, highlighting the emotional reunion after their challenging experiences.
Savannah also reflected on the emotional toll their family endured while awaiting a presidential pardon. She described her parents hitting an “all-time low” before their release, explaining, “I had just reached a point of, like, I’ve done everything I can do. At this point, there’s nothing more I can do.” Her sentiments were echoed by Todd, who expressed gratitude for his daughter’s unwavering support throughout their ordeal.
The Chrisleys’ story is one of resilience and strength, as they navigate the complexities of fame and family dynamics. Savannah’s willingness to step into the spotlight, even in a lighthearted competition like “The Masked Singer,” showcases her determination to forge her own path, while Todd’s candidness provides a glimpse into the familial bond that remains strong despite their trials.
As the family continues to share their journey with fans, they exemplify the importance of support and understanding within a family unit. Todd’s humorous admission about his daughter’s singing skills serves as a reminder that, even in the world of celebrity, vulnerability and laughter are essential components of life. The Chrisleys have proven that, regardless of the challenges they face, they remain united in their love and support for one another.
