Royal Knight made her debut on the 12th season of “The Masked Singer” on Nov. 13, 2024, as a member of Group C. The armored crooner’s first song on Fox‘s reality TV show was “You and I” by Lady Gaga, and she had the four panelists (Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora) guessing such famous names as Ashley Tisdale, Lily James, and Hayden Panettiere. The following week, she performed “When I Look at You” and the judges guessed Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Aubrey Plaza.
But who is Royal Knight? If you’re looking for “The Masked Singer” spoilers and clues, you’ve come to the right place! Read on for everything to know about Royal Knight, including which famous celebrity WE think is hiding underneath this spectacu-steel costume.
Gold Derby’s official guess for Royal Knight is … Jessie James Decker! Don’t believe us? Let’s examine all of the clues, one by one:
Masked Ambassador Clues
Royal Knight’s ambassador is Savannah Chrisley, aka Afghan Hound from Season 11, who states, “It’s no secret that my life has been pretty rough lately, but I am here to introduce to you the toughest woman I know, Royal Knight … You are one of the fiercest friends that I have, and I think that tonight for your performance, you’re gonna slay.” Savannah and Jessie have been spotted out together several times, and they even showed off their softball skills together at the City of Hope Celebrity Softball game way back in 2017. These two go way back!
Audio Clues
Here is what Royal Knight has to say about herself: “Thanks, sis. I’ll take it from here. Chapter one: As a young girl I thought I’d have that fairytale life. So, I went on a quest for it, but it turns out mine was no fantasy. There was heartbreak and terror behind every corner and I quickly had to learn to protect myself with layers of armor, until I became the warrior I am today. I had to break free of the idea of a ‘you and I’ and learn how to be, well, me. Now, I don’t care about castles or kings, as long as I’m giving ‘main character energy.'” Jessie has spoken publicly about her anxiety, low self-esteem, and body image issues. She’s also had a very public rift with various family members, leaving the celebrity “heartbroken.” That terror she speaks of could be in reference to that terrifying day a Nashville school shooting happened two miles away from her home, leading a tearful Jessie to assure fans that her kids “were safe.”
Visual Clues
First week: On-screen hints during Royal Knight’s video package include the following: story books, a glass slipper, a red fire-breathing dragon, a TV remote, a gold megaphone that says “The T,” green trees, and a bunch of butterflies. The TV remote references Jessie’s reality TV show she shared with her husband, Eric Decker. “Eric & Jessie: Game On” aired on E! and followed their journey to the altar. The wedding was referred to as her “fairytale ending.” The singer was also a contestant on Season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars.” The megaphone is a shout-out to her high school cheerleading days, and the storybooks could be a reference to the fact she’s a New York Times best-selling author.
Second week: On “Miley Cyrus Night” we saw a “Wanted” sign, which happens to be the name of Jessie’s lead single from her 2009 debut album. A heart on fire is a nod to her song “Burn It Up,” which is about setting fire to a relationship filled with heartbreak. A love interest wearing a full suit of armor is Eric Decker, her husband who played football for the Tennessee Titans. He also played for the Denver Broncos, the favorite football team of Scott Porter aka Season 11’s Gumball, which was also seen in Royal Knight’s clue package.
In-Person Clues
First week: Following her performance of “You and I,” the Men in Black bring out a hoodie that says, “Ready to Sleigh” on it. Royal Knight responds, “No matter the season, I’m always ready to ‘sleigh’ the competition.” Jessie has release two holiday albums: “On This Holiday” and “Decker the Halls.”
Second week: In the following episode, a road sign the Nashville led the star to say, “Just like ‘Party in the U.S.A.,’ Miley and I would both prefer a Nashville party.” Jessie is a Nashville resident.
The ultimate Golden Mask recipient for “The Masked Singer” Season 12 will join the following list of winners: T-Pain as Monster (Season 1), Wayne Brady as Fox (Season 2), Kandi Burruss as Night Angel (Season 3), LeAnn Rimes as Sun (Season 4), Nick Lachey as Piglet (Season 5), Jewel as Queen of Hearts (Season 6), Teyana Taylor as Firefly (Season 7), Amber Riley as Harp (Season 8), Bishop Briggs as Medusa (Season 9), Ne-Yo as Cow (Season 10), and Vanessa Hudgens as Goldfish (Season 11).

I’m going with Connie Britton.
There was a clue last night about a gumball…Scott Porter was the gumball last season…they starred on Friday Night Lights together.
There was also a clue about Nashville…Connie starred on the show Nashville
It’s Jana Kramer, without a doubt. It sounds exactly like her and she came out with a song called Warrior.
There are way more clues that point to Jana Kramer than anyone else. The way she talks/laughs is spot on also. I don’t think it’s really great but Jessie has a better singing voice than Jana, it’s more of a powerful type singing voice. Tv remote because she has been on some tv shows, trees point to One Tree Hill and the burning heart could point to that also. Jana was on Friday Night Lights also = Scott Porter. She lives in Nashville. The fairytale wedding, love and live after heartbreak is almost her whole personality. After 3 divorces, she got married this Summer to a man that lived overseas, hence her man she saw on the horizon. He calls her his warrior and she released a song called warrior referencing this, that clue just about seals the deal. Christmas sled on the shirt and “sleigh” is pointing to several hallmark/lifetime Christmas movies she has done. She also has 2 books out. The T on the megaphone could reference “One T” for one tree hill and also could be that she has a podcast. The singing sounds exactly like her.
It’s Jana Kramer. She does hallmark Christmas movies
