Australian pop icon, Kylie Minogue, is set to make a return to RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under in season 3 as a guest judge. This time, Kylie will watch a Night of 1000 Kylies-themed runway alongside regular judges, Rhys Nicholson, RuPaul, and Michelle Visage. Kylie, along with her sister Dannii, had made virtual appearances on the show back in season 1. However, this time, the audience can expect a more glamorous event as the next crop of Australian and New Zealand drag queens filmed the show in Auckland earlier this year.
Rhys Nicholson, who uses they/them pronouns, spilled some tea on the upcoming season and revealed that they got to sit next to “proper pop megastar people” on the judging panel. For the first time, they got to have real people in the studio, making the experience more exciting than ever. Rhys described the lineup as “pretty bonkers” and admitted to being star-struck by the guests.
Although there have been rumors and speculations about the show’s lineup, all will be officially confirmed and revealed when RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under streams on Stan later this year. Fans can’t wait to see the looks the queens will bring to the Night of 1000 Kylies-themed runway and witness the return of Kylie Minogue to the show.
Meanwhile, Kylie Minogue is busy working on her 16th studio album. In April, she released the runway-ready collaboration, “10 out of 10,” with Oliver Heldens. As the news of her return to Drag Race Down Under spread, fans are anticipating what other surprises she has in store for them. The Australian pop icon has been an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and has shown her support on multiple occasions. Her return to the show will undoubtedly add more excitement and glamour to the upcoming season.
