Lady Gaga to Appear on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 9 Premiere
"RuPaul's Drag Race" is about to get a lot more fabulous, with Lady Gaga set to appear on the reality competition show's upcoming ninth season premiere.
The singer and the series announced the news on Twitter, revealing that Gaga would appear as a judge on the season opener. In a promo clip, the superstar appears in front of the 13 contestants -- who are freaking out over the presence of Mother Monster -- and declares, "May the best woman win." Whatever the competition is, we have no doubt the queens will be pulling out all the stops to impress superstar.

In a Twitter post sharing her excitement, Gaga referenced her hit 2011 single "Born This Way," hashtagging the lyrics "Don't be a drag, just be a queen." The official "Drag Race" account also tweeted out a series of ecstatic messages, writing, "#DragRace is so ready to go #Gaga!"
The show also dug up an old tweet from Gaga, who asked the account back in 2013 if she could be a judge. "Wish finally granted Mother Monster!" the show tweeted in response on Tuesday.
