![]() ![]() You know, a lot of girls go into these challenges, and if you’re a great singer and it’s a singing challenge, you want to win that if you’re a great actor, you want to win that. For me, that started with the “Rumerican Horror Story” acting challenge. What’s been so exciting this season is seeing this growth in you and these sides we didn’t get to see on season two. So I wanted to give it my all and make sure that everything I did was 100 percent me, and to do things that I’m gonna be proud of a year later, watching play back on TV. I love doing drag, and being in quarantine for so long, I was scared that I would never get to do drag again, and this was my opportunity to maybe get to do it one last time. Plus, I didn’t go into it looking at it as a competition, but more so pushing myself and challenging myself. So I had more self-awareness, and I learned how to be happy, and figure out wherever I’m at, whatever is happening, to just find the good in it. I felt like this time I could really pay attention to who I am. I had so much knowledge, just learning who I am as a person once I liberated myself and followed through transition. As you were coming into this season, what was going through your mind about that gap? It’s been over a decade since season two, and a lot had changed. Vulture caught up with Kylie Sonique Love to talk about the highs of her All Stars season and how much has changed since her abbreviated season-two run. Inspire us she did, along with delivering multiple stunning performances, hilarious acting roles (including a surprise win in the “Rumerican Horror Story: Coven Girls” challenge), and a fantastic Dolly Parton Snatch Game - somehow, Drag Race’s first ever. “I just feel so grateful and blessed that I have a platform where I can use my voice to try to inspire other people to use their voice,” Kylie says. In her finale speech, Kylie - one of the more visible queens to have come out as a trans woman since first appearing on Drag Race - positioned herself as a queen of the people, telling the judges, “To have that power means nothing if you’re not able to help people.” Days after her win, she’s in the same mind-set. In a way, that’s how she wants it, though. “Honestly, I haven’t even had a minute to myself,” she says. The L.A.-by-way-of-Atlanta queen, who placed ninth on RuPaul’s Drag Race season two, is waiting for a pizza delivery, recovering from a performance in Austin, Texas, the night after her win. Thirty-six hours later, news of her Drag Race All Stars win still hasn’t sunk in for Kylie Sonique Love. Photo: Rachel Murray/Getty Images for VH1 ![]()
