The RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 premiere is shaping up to be a wild hoedown throwdown for the 15 competing queens.
Pop star Miley Cyrus announced Tuesday she will join the Drag Race family as a special guest for the upcoming Feb. 28 bow, which marks the show’s third consecutive season opener fronted by a major music diva after Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera helped kick off seasons 9 and 10, respectively.
A video teaser for the episode shows Cyrus strutting down the runway before asking: “Are you freaking out? Because I’m freaking out!” A network press release elaborates on Cyrus’ role, indicating she’ll go undercover in the Werk Room to spy on the cast as they prepare for their first challenge: creating signature lewks from materials that once belonged to former Drag Race girls.
Cyrus has a long relationship with the Drag Race community, having attended the 2015 season 7 finale taping before before enlisting several queens who’ve competed on the show — including Alyssa Edwards, Laganja Estranja, Gia Gunn, Alexis Mateo, Carmen Carrera, Courtney Act, Delta Work, Miss Fame, and Shangela — to join her onstage for her performance of “Dooo It!” at the MTV VMAs later that year.
