Kyran Thrax, the UK’s Next Drag Superstar, reflects on her triumphant Drag Race experience and her plans for “world domination, baby!” WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC Although she’s just been crowned the UK’s Next Drag Superstar and has her claws full as 1) the world’s supreme Hugh Grant impersonator and 2) Suzy’s ma(w)ma, Kyran Thrax is already vying for “world domination, baby!”: “I’m not just going to make an impact on the winners’ circle.
I’m going to make an impact on the world. My ambitions are sky-high and I’m going to meet them.” On Thursday (28 November), the bin bag bloodsucking diva (sums her up, no?) conquered the sixth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK after defeating her bestie La Voix in a lip-sync smackdown to Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’.
With three wins, zero bottoms and a plethora of iconic moments, from Hugh Grunt to her vampy girl-group verse and “even the bacon’s confused!”, Kyran’s induction into the UK Hall of Fame was celebrated as a fitting end to one of the most acclaimed seasons in Drag Race herstory.
Read ahead for Kyran’s post-win chat with GAY TIMES, where she reflects on her triumphant stint on Drag Race UK season six, her connection with La Voix and whether she’s interested in competing on All Winners 2.
