This season marked the franchise’s return to an in-person ceremony after two pandemic-impacted years. A season of many firsts, Season 14 concluded with even more twists and milestones.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Had Some Changes This Time

Unlike previous finales, the final queens each performed solo numbers, instead of all participating in lipsync showdowns, for a shot at the a franchise-high $150,000 cash prize. The two queens with the best performances, as deemed by RuPaul, then went head-to-head for the crown. The runner up was set to walk away with $50,000.

Angeria kicked things off with a high-energy rap number, Bosco followed with a burlesque performance, then Daya with a rock song, then Lady Camden with a Queen-inspired lip sync filled with her signature ballet moves and finally Willow Pill with a quirky and campy “Vogue”-like routine.

Congeniality which went to Kornbread, who was out of the competition do to an ankle injury, won $10,000 dolars and the other Queens all got a $2,000 check
