Meet the Queen’s of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 13

The upcoming contestants for season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race have been announced!

The new queens were “RuVealed” by last season’s winner, Jaida Essence Hall, this past Wednesday. As per usual, the drag queens are set to battle it out for a cash prize of $100,000 and the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.”

This season sounds exciting, with queens coming from all different walks of life. The first-ever contestant from Arkansas will be on this season as well as a drag mother-daughter duo from Atlanta! This season will also welcome the first-ever trans male contest to the show!

With that being said, let’s meet this season’s queens!
