Liza Minnelli graces RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 finale
Get ready, Drag Race fans! The legendary Liza Minnelli will be stepping onto RuPaul's stage in a much-anticipated appearance. As part 17's grand finale, Liza will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, celebrating her immense impact on both entertainment and LGBTQ+ culture. Isn't that exciting?
Liza Minnelli's first time on RuPaul's Drag Race
Liza has long been a beloved figure in Drag Race circles, but can you believe it's her first time on set? Over countless seasons, queens have channeled Liza's spirit in their Snatch Game impersonations and challenges. Now, finally, we get Liza herself on stage. It's bound—who else can't wait?
Honoring a true icon: The Lifetime Achievement Award
In a crowning moment during finale night, Liza will receive RuPaul's 'Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award.' It's an honor reserved only legends who have left their mark on drag, fashion, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. From her unforgettable role in Cabaret, Liza's influence has been monumental. She's in great company too—past honorees include designer extraordinaire Bob Mackie and Halloween icon Cassandra Peterson, a.k.a. Elvira.
Memorable highlights from this season
This season's been a wild ride, full surprises and intense competition. Remember that Make Creational Challenge? First double save! Jewels Sparkles and frontrunner Onya Nurv blew us away transformations, both earning saved spots. Talk tension!
Meet competition heats up
As we near finale night, stakes higher ever. Jewels, Onya, Suzie Toot, Lexi Love, and latest victor Sam Star are all in top five— but won't stay long. Someone'll go home before grand showdown, but who?
Counting down finale night
Fans are buzzing after last season's epic lip-sync smackdown between Sapphir Cristal and Nymphia Wind. Nymphia won it all—so what can we expect now? Will it be a three-way battle or a four-way extravaganza? It's anyone's guess.
Liza Minnelli: Inspiration lives on
Aside from Drag Race, Liza's still shaping arts and culture. She's producing off-Broadway's Drag: The Musical, starring Alaska, an All Stars winner. Liza's never stopped championing arts and LGBTQ+ rights, and her work keeps inspiring people worldwide.
