We have a winner, baby! Drag Race season 14 makes herstory with new champion
Spoilers ahead for the RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 finale. RuPaul Drag Race has crowned its season 14 winner (baby!). On this week’s grand finale, the top five contestants of the season – Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Bosco, Daya Betty, Lady Camden and Willow Pill – faced off in a Las Vegas-inspired showgirl smackdown for the crown.
Each of the stars performed a stun solo number inspired by their charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent. Following their performances, RuPaul announced Camden and Willow as the top two queens; resulting in a final lip-sync battle between the drag powerhouses to the beat of Cher’s version of Abba’s Gimme!
Gimme! (A Man After Midnight). Both queens deployed a variety of fierce tricks, splits, flips and ruveals, which elicited an uproarious response from the audience.
Ultimately, RuPaul crowned Willow Pill as America’s Next Drag Superstar. “I really want to thank my family and my friends,” said Willow, “and most of all, I need to thank Kornbread’s ankle!” Willow, the angle of the season, won the hearts of viewers around the world with her innovative runways and wicked sense-of-humour.
