Breakout queer popstar Chappell Roan and Drag Race season 15 winner Sasha Colby have finally met, with fans of both artists elated to see the two meet in a moment already deemed iconic.
Chappell Roan has been gaining gradual momentum since the release of her album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, since its release in September 2023 and has consistently championed members of the drag community. In particular, she noted Sasha Colby as her favourite drag queen.
“She famously said ‘I’m your favourite drag queen’s favourite drag queen,’” said Chappell in an Instagram post. “Me saying ‘I’m your favourite artist’s favourite artist’ was a nod to her, how much I admire her, and how much drag is intertwined with my project. She is everything to me.” Chappell later praised Sasha further in an appearance on The Tonight Show.
