After months of keeping a low profile since his release from prison, Todd Chrisley is officially back — and in true Todd fashion, he’s already blending heartfelt pride with

a dose of signature Southern humor. This time, the Chrisley Knows Best patriarch is playfully teasing his daughter, Savannah Chrisley, following her recent surprise appearance

on the hit reality competition show The Masked Singer. In a new interview, Todd opened up about watching Savannah perform on national television — and admitted that

while he couldn’t have been prouder, he was also “a little embarrassed” watching his daughter dance and sing her heart out in costume.

“When I saw her up there dancing around in that big costume, I thought, Lord, please tell me that’s not my child,” Todd joked. “But then again, only a Chrisley would go all in like that.”

Savannah’s appearance on The Masked Singer earlier this year took everyone by surprise — including the judges and her fans. Disguised in an elaborate costume that hid her identity, she performed with confidence and charisma, winning over the audience with her energy and charm. When she was finally unmasked, the crowd erupted in applause, celebrating a side of Savannah that many had never seen before.

For Savannah, the moment was more than just a television appearance — it was a celebration of freedom, resilience, and self-discovery. After spending two difficult years holding her family together while both of her parents served time for fraud and tax evasion, Savannah embraced The Masked Singer as a chance to rediscover joy and reclaim her sense of fun. “It felt good to do something just for me,” she said in a post-show interview. “I wanted to remind myself — and everyone — that no matter what you go through, you can still find reasons to smile.”

Todd, however, couldn’t resist turning Savannah’s big moment into an opportunity for humor. “I told her, ‘You better be thankful that costume covered your face,’” he laughed. “‘Because if folks had known it was you from the start, they might’ve turned their chairs just to laugh.’”

But beneath the teasing, Todd’s words revealed genuine pride and emotion. “Watching her up there reminded me how strong she’s become,” he said warmly. “Even when she’s embarrassing me on national television, she’s shining. She’s got courage, and I couldn’t be prouder.”

The lighthearted banter between father and daughter is a refreshing reminder that the Chrisley family is finding healing through humor after years of pain and separation. Both Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were released earlier this year after serving reduced prison sentences, marking the start of a new chapter for the once high-flying reality TV family.

For Todd, seeing his daughter back in the spotlight brought a mix of nostalgia and admiration. “Savannah’s always been the performer in the family,” he reflected. “She’s got that spark — that fearlessness. But seeing her channel it in such a positive way, especially after everything she’s carried on her shoulders these past few years, that just hit me differently.”

During her parents’ incarceration, Savannah became the emotional backbone of the Chrisley family, taking responsibility for her younger siblings and managing the family’s public image. Through her podcast Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, she became an outspoken advocate for her parents, sharing emotional updates and standing firm in their defense. Her appearance on The Masked Singer was not just entertainment — it symbolized triumph, resilience, and the reclaiming of joy after years of struggle.

Todd, now easing his way back into the public eye, says moments like these are helping him see his family — and his own journey — through a new lens. “We’ve all been through the fire,” he admitted. “But watching Savannah perform like that reminded me that no matter how dark things get, joy finds a way back in. She’s proof of that.”

The reunion between father and daughter has also reignited fans’ love for the Chrisleys. Social media lit up with messages of support, celebrating Savannah’s courage and Todd’s renewed sense of humor. One fan wrote, “Seeing Todd joke about Savannah again feels like old times. The Chrisleys are back!” Another added, “Savannah deserves all the love — she carried that family with grace.”

Todd’s heartfelt humor captures the spirit that made Chrisley Knows Best such a success — the blend of sarcasm, sincerity, and Southern warmth that made audiences fall in love with the family in the first place. “We may laugh and tease,” Todd said, “but that’s our way of showing love. And if me being embarrassed means my daughter’s out there living her best life, then embarrass me all you want.”

As for Savannah, her stint on The Masked Singer seems to have reignited her passion for entertainment. Insiders say she’s already exploring new television and podcasting opportunities, as well as developing projects that reflect her personal growth and resilience. “Savannah’s entering a new era,” one source revealed. “She’s not just the Chrisley daughter anymore — she’s becoming a voice in her own right.”

Meanwhile, Todd and Julie are focusing on rebuilding their lives privately while slowly reconnecting with their audience. “We’re taking it one day at a time,” Todd shared. “The past few years taught us humility, patience, and faith. And watching our kids thrive — that’s the biggest blessing of all.”

Behind the laughter and the lighthearted embarrassment, Todd’s admiration for his daughter runs deep. He ended the interview on a sentimental note that brought everything full circle. “I might joke about it,” he said, “but seeing Savannah on that stage made me realize how far we’ve all come. She’s bringing joy back to our family — one performance at a time.”

In true Chrisley fashion, humor remains their greatest coping mechanism, and love remains their anchor. No matter how wild the costume or how bright the spotlight, one thing is clear — family pride always takes center stage in the Chrisley household.
