Todd, Julie, and Savannah Chrisley have been living their lives in the public eye since the start of their reality show, “Chrisley Knows Best,” in 2014.

Throughout the series, the famously over-the-top family often provided audiences with a healthy dose of drama and eyebrow-raising content.

But according to Todd Chrisley himself, none of those moments were more embarrassing than his daughter, Savannah, taking the stage on a singing competition show in March 2024.

On the recent ABC special, “The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup,” Todd, Julie, and Savannah discussed the whirlwind of events that occurred within their family from the time Todd and Julie reported to prison in January 2023 to their release via presidential pardon in May 2025.

Specifically, the family spent a portion of the special discussing Savannah’s stint on the Fox competition show, “The Masked Singer.” Savannah, 27, competed on the show as the Afghan Hound and performed the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” by The Tokens.

Todd, however, didn’t see his daughter’s appearance, and it wasn’t by accident.

“I missed ‘The Masked Singer’ because I was embarrassed for her when I knew she was gonna do that. Because she cannot sing,” Todd stated bluntly.

Savannah, though, seemed to agree, stating, “Yeah, I was awful,” before Todd revealed how much he admired Savannah for facing her fears regardless of “how bad she was.”

“The Masked Singer” premiered in the US in 2019 and has featured dozens of celebrities, including NFL players, Disney stars, and Bravo legends.

On the show, each celebrity performs in disguise, and judges must uncover their identity based only on their voice and weekly clues.

In Savannah’s clue package, the reality star opened up about her family dynamic and explained her choice to sing a song from “The Wizard of Oz.”

“Just like the lion, every single day I tell myself to be brave,” she said. “When I was young, I would dream about what life could be like over the rainbow. And for my family and I, the dreams we dared to dream come true.”

She continued, “Best of all, we were together … until recently. Suddenly, it was like our whole house came crashing down, and I found myself alone, lost, and left to pick up the pieces. But, I had to keep going and learn to laugh through the pain.”

“I know I’m not a good singer,” she added, “but I’m here to put on a fun performance and just have a great time. I wanna make my family smile and laugh from afar, and that’s what’s giving me the courage tonight.”

Elsewhere during the ABC special, Todd and Julie Chrisley expressed immense gratitude to Savannah, who took on legal guardianship of her younger brother, Grayson, and sister, Chloe, while they were away.

“A child should not have to take care of their parents. It’s the parents’ job to take care of the child,” Todd said during the conversation. “But for whatever reason, God blessed us with a child that is so unlike so many other kids out there. I said to her many times, ‘You were built for this moment.'”

Julie also expressed her regret about the situation, admitting she hated “that it happened the way that it did.”

She continued, “Because her life was on hold. Yes, they are her siblings, but it’s not her job to raise them.”

Savannah also learned a lot about herself while engrossed in her parents’ legal battles over the last two years: homeownership isn’t something she has her sights set on at this time.

During the special, Savannah revealed how excited she was to return to a simpler lifestyle—one that doesn’t include the upkeep of an expansive mansion.

“I have learned that a house is not a priority to her. Maintenance is not a priority to her,” Todd explained about his daughter.

His comment prompted Savannah to interject, telling the reporter that Todd had choice words for her about how she maintained his home while he was behind bars.

“I was literally fighting for y’all for two and a half years and raising kids, I think the floors are fine,” Savannah joked.
