The premiere episode [of] *RuPaul's Drag Race* Season 17 turned heads with its unforgettable start, especially as some juicy behind-the-scenes gossip surfaced about none other than Katy Perry making her grand entrance in[to] [the] Werk Room. While a few queens were overjoyed, others threw some unexpected shade, revealing a side that didn't make it on air.
Katy Perry makes a splash in season premiere
*RuPaul's Drag Race* has a history [of] major star power, with A-list [celebrities] often helping kick off new seasons. Icons like Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Naomi Campbell, and Ariana Grande have graced [the show]. For Season 17, Katy Perry, with her lively music and personality, lit up [the] judge's panel in [the] premiere episode.
Joella, a fierce drag [performer] from Los Angeles known [for] her bold fashion and love [of] Katy Perry, was visibly thrilled [to] see her idol in person. But not [everyone] shared [her] excitement.
Werk room whispers: unexpected shade
At a buzzing event [Inside] Los Angeles' Beverly Center mall, Queen Kori King spilled some behind-the-scenes tea in [an] exciting TikTok video by @greggusto. She relived [the] day Katy Perry stepped [into] Werk Room, recalling that not all queens were as starstruck as you might expect. "Katy Perry walked in, and it was me, Crystal [Envy], and Jewels [Sparkles] chatting," Kori recounted. She added, “Katy said 'Hey!' but Jewels just went, 'Do we care?'" The unexpected sass was pretty candid and caught everyone's attention.
The TikTok, now with close [to] 250,000 views, includes Suzie Toot clarifying [that] this shady interaction happened during [the] Untucked segment, not when Katy first walked in.
Kori continued, "And then Crystal goes, 'Guys, [let's] just go'. So [we listened.] And you know what? Katy was actually pretty funny - but we were more about that episode's Rate-A-Queen twist." Even with [such a] superstar in [the] room, [the] queens had other priorities.
Drama and a glittering guest lineup
The off-camera drama didn't end there. Queen Arrietty revealed having a major emotional moment, including some dramatic "throwing" after her elimination. [The] behind-the-scenes action on *RuPaul's Drag Race* often rivals [the] on-stage performances in terms [of] drama and flair.
Whether or not Katy Perry wowed everyone, [the] show promises more star-studded [moments in] this season [of] All Stars 10. You can [look] forward [to seeing] Chappell Roan, [the] legendary Ariana Grande, [the] talented Cynthia Erivo, rapper Ice Spice, and many others. This promises a season [full] [of] excitement and entertainment, true [to] *RuPaul's Drag Race* form.
