The tenth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race came to a close on Thursday (June 28) night, as New York-based queen Aquaria took the crown and scepter, beating out finalists Asia O’Hara, Eureka and Kameron Michaels. The season finale was a high-energy production, with cameos from Oprah, Dame Judi Dench and most of the OG Drag Race cast (if you missed Tammie Brown, you can catch her in our Spillin’ the Tea series).
Arguably, the most memorable moment of the finale was when Texas queen Asia O’Hara attempted to release butterflies from her chest-piece during her lip sync. Rather than flying into the air, the insects opted to crawl around the stage. The queen apologized for the stunt, but that didn’t stop social media from meme-ing the moment. Check out our favorite memes from the show’s finale below.
Asia: Time for the reveal!
