Halleloo! 'Drag Race's' Season 9 Premiere Broke TV Records

Despite the fact some viewers were unhappy that Mama Ru didn't do herself up in drag for the runway, last week's season 9 premiere episode of RuPaul's Drag Race on VH1 (which featured superstar guest judge Lady Gaga) broke the show's personal viewer record with nearly two times the viewers tuning in than during last season's premiere on Logo TV.

The show culled 987,000 queens for the premiere, according to Yahoo! TV, and the show's Twitter engagement—what we know you all live for—was a new high as well, trending across the world.

We want to say a congratulations to Ru, the queens, and all the crew who have contributed to such amazing television! As they say, "Started from Akashia, now we here."
