The very first winner of Canada's Drag Race has been crowned!
Spoilers ahead!
On last night's electrifying season finale of the RuPaul's Drag Race spinoff, Toronto's own Priyanka stomped the competition and snatched the crown to become Canada's first drag superstar!
Priyanka beat out eleven other queens for the crown and sent fans into a frenzy. Many noted that with the addition of Priyanka, all of Drag Race 2020's winners have been BIPOC.
Jaida Essence Hall won Season 12 in June, Shea Couleé won All Stars 5 in July, and now Priyanka has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Fans celebrated the successes of the highly-melanated winners!
