‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 14: Meet the queens vying for the crown

The "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 14 cast features the show's first ever straight cis male drag queen

The RuPaul’s Drag Race machine just keeps on turning.

Drag Race UK wrapped its third season just last week and Canada’s Drag Race’s second season is hurtling towards its own finale. Both iterations come in a year that already saw seasons of the flagship RuPaul’s Drag Race, All Stars, Holland, Australia and a slew of Drag Race spin-offs and copycats. 

But nothing compares to the original, right? And in January we’ll get to see a new crop of 14 drag performers vie for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14. 

The 14 performers competing were Ru-vealed during a primetime special Thursday night hosted by Season 13 winner, Symone. And there are a few notable entries, including the series’ first straight male drag queen, Maddy Morphosis.

Who will turn the most iconic looks? Who will be added to the lip sync canon? And who will be your favourite? Here are the queens of Season 14.
