RuPaul has been keeping the spotlight firmly in place as the summer heats up both on social media and the live stage. Just today RuPaul shared a new Instagram video, energizing fans and reminding the world of queens who never miss a chance to werk—there’s been a steady stream of posts echoing RuPaul’s signature positivity and cheeky flair all week as anticipation builds for major upcoming shows. The countdown is on for RuPaul's headline appearance at The Concourse Project in Austin, Texas, locked in for August 9, an appearance that’s expected to draw a huge crowd of Drag Race devotees as reported by JamBase. Adding more glitter, the Werq The World Tour 2025, one of the largest international drag spectacles, kicks off its North American run in just two weeks according to the official Werq The World Instagram—RuPaul is again at the center, ensuring fans are ready for jaw-dropping performances and all-star cameos. Tickets for the August 31 show in Durham, North Carolina at DPAC went on sale today via the official venue site, showing Ru remains a top box office draw.

RuPaul has not made any controversial comments or been associated with any new business ventures in the last couple of days, but Drag Race alumni have kept the franchise at the heart of entertainment news. Most notably Jinkx Monsoon, two-time Drag Race winner and Broadway star, publicly came out as pansexual yesterday on comedian Ziwe’s YouTube show, sparking a wave of fan support and inclusive discussions, a moment widely covered by outlets such as People and PinkNews. Jinkx took aim at transphobia, especially calling out JK Rowling, demonstrating how the Drag Race universe continues to shape LGBTQ+ discourse well beyond the runway.

Also in the Drag Race orbit, Yvie Oddly (season 11 winner and All Stars alum) set social media ablaze with a tongue-in-cheek post announcing a supposed retirement from drag, only to reveal this was classic trolling to promote a yard sale supporting her medical needs and creative work, a story clarified by The PinkNews and SoapCentral. The event, planned for August 22 in Denver, prompted an overwhelming show of community support and concern, highlighting both the pressures and the camaraderie of drag fandom. Through all of it, RuPaul keeps moving the needle, as both legend and leader, never far from the next headline or headline-making queen.
