RuPaul’s Drag Race has become an integral part of American entertainment. RuPaul Charles has been hosting the competition for 16 seasons, featuring a vibrant variety of drag queens competing for cosmetics, money, and, of course, fame (after all, this is Hollywood). The stakes are high — the winner will become America’s Drag Queen Superstar.
The series has a strong following — now in its 17th season, the show features 14 new drag queens, with judges Carson Kressley, Ts Madison, Michelle Visage, and Ross Mathews. There will also be a group of high-profile guest judges, including Adam Lambert, Lorde, Whitney Cummings, Betsy Johnson, Quentin Brunson, Sandra Bernhard, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Sam Smith, among others.
Among the contestants of the season are: Harriett from Seattle, Acacia Forgot and Joella from Los Angeles, Hormona Lisa from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sparkling Jewels from Tampa, Crystal Envy from New Jersey, Sam Star from Alabama, Lucky Starzzz from Miami, Cory King from Boston, Lana Ja’Rae from New York, Onya Nerve from Cleveland, Suzie Toot from Fort Lauderdale, Lexi Love from Louisville, and Lydia B Collins from Pittsburgh.
Katy Perry, who famously credited drag queens for her career, served as a guest judge on the season premiere on January 3rd. «If it weren’t for drag queens, I probably wouldn’t have a career», - the singer told Rolling Stone magazine in 2022. «I probably learned everything from them».
