She was revealed after singing Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places" with her non-famous cousin, JD. Though Palin didn't say much — she was the final celebrity revealed on the show, after Joey Fatone and Kenny Smith — her cousin did tell Anderson her run for VP as John McCain's running mate "was mind-boggling for our entire family — it was a heck of a ride, but it was fun, and we were very proud of her." Though she's so far mum on her We Are Family appearance, Palin previously said of her shocking Masked Singer stint that she did the show as a "walking middle finger to the haters." "It was all about the mask," she told host Nick Cannon on the Masked Singer aftershow at the time. "I knew it would be so refreshing and so freeing and well, in a real respectful way, kind of a walking middle finger to the haters out there in the world where I could do whatever I wanted to do and not care what anybody said because they wouldn't know until after the fact. So it all worked out." We Are Family airs Wednesdays on Fox at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
