First Look: Lady Gaga On The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 9 Runway

By Jake Thompson on March 10, 2017 1:39 pm

We’re all gagging for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9’s BIG premiere on VH1 with Lady Effing Gaga!!! Entertainment Weekly has the first exclusive LOOK at the runway challenge with RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Matthews, and Lady G herself.

Check it out:

“There’s an ease 
and familiarity that is apparent when 
you watch her,” says host RuPaul, who earned an Emmy in September for his work as host of the show. “We had a fabulous time with Gaga. She was in heaven because this is all so much a part of 
her wheelhouse and what she does with imagery, costumes, and the way she 
presents herself.”

While the episode marks the first time Mother Monster has appeared on the competition series, her presence has 
 long been felt on set: A bevy of queens have lip-synched for their lives to tracks from Gaga’s discography, and two have even channeled her likeness for the perennial celebrity-impersonation challenge. Yet, according to RuPaul, it was a single heartfelt tweet from the Grammy winner back in 2013 that jump-started the collaboration: “Can I PLEASE be a judge on Drag Race! @RuPaul I started out in these [clubs], these women taught me how to serve!” she wrote.

And serve she has.

“She comes from this background of downtown New York City clubs, so that was the difference between her and other guests who’ve been appreciative of what we do but 
don’t know where we come from,” says RuPaul. “She comes from that world.”
