Dancing With The Stars reveals its first drag queen contestant
Dancing With The Stars has revealed that Drag Race queen Shangela will be the first contestant in the show’s history to compete in drag.Shangela shared a clip of the announcement on her social media.“Ready to strut into this Ballroom and rep for anyone who ever had a Dream, baby!” she said.“Competing on @dancingwiththestars has honestly been a dream of mine for years.
I knocked on doors for meetings, I journaled, I prayed and I literally envisioned myself a part of this gig … I’ve been preparing my body for over a year in hopes that it would happen (y’all have seen me at the gym lol.) AND NOW I CAN SAY I’M HERE!“I hope to rep my community of Queens proudly.
I want to show America that this proud lil gay black boy from a small town in Texas never stopped Werqin for what he wanted, and now is about to compete in a new arena in his fiercest performance form … in drag as Shangela.
