ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Miss Jaida!
Im so proud of you!
How are you feeling right now?
Hearing my name was like, chile, what the f?
If Im calculating correctly, youre taking home the biggest prize on a main season ofDrag Race.
Youre the $117,000 queen, with all three challenge wins and the $2,000 from Pantene.
How does it feel to be the most expensive woman from the show?
I think that means I can get $117,000 worth of shoes, but Im trying to be responsible.
We all get beds with a canopy!
Right now, are you in that same room you filmed your finale lip-syncs in?
Is that your living room?
I filmedeverythingin this living room, which I hated [before].
But now its iconic.
That little $10 Ikea table next to you the whole time!
And a few parts from Ikea.
I chose the song because its one that I love to perform and entertain people [with].
Im at home, in my robe, chilling like everybody else.
You also turned it out so hard for the Survivor lip-sync.
How did you approach choreographing that one, and was it challenging to adapt for such a small space?
People think performances always need constant high energy with a lot of dancing.
For me, sometimes its about connecting to the emotions.
This is crazy I wonDrag Race!
Did you sustain any injuries or smack your legs on furniture while practicing in such a small space?
No, but I did scrape the front of my boobs on the carpet.
It was a little difficult!
One of my favorites was also the one of me going Look over there!
Also heavily memed: Your love for the word chile.
How long have you been saying that as your go-to reaction when youre confused?
I think chile belongs to all of us.
When we all get tired of people or get stressed out or confused, we all deliver a chile.
Its crazy, before I left for the show, I never even realized I said it that much.
Its probably been for my whole life.
You made all of your own outfits this season, right?
I told him that whatever it is, I want an amazing twist.
I dont always want to do the same thing over and over.
My favorite look was your, well, Ive just been calling it the star-spangled py.
Can we just talk about that and where the hell the idea came from?
I thought about what role drag queens play in America.
If Im a drag queen and the theme is stars and stripes, what doIhave to offer to America?
Drag queens are superheroes.
And just put a star over the py, that takes the tribute over the top!
Its almost like Striperella meets Captain America meets Captain America again!
Can you elaborate on what you were talking about?
Maybe Im not good enough.
But its supposed to happen when its supposed to happen.
Growing up and being a black person, its one of those things where you cant escape it.
Jaida, youre making me tear up right now.
Im a py, Im sorry!
No, youre a strong symbol!
Im so thrilled it’s possible for you to do that with your platform.
Is there anything else you want to add on top of that?
Thank you to everybody out there whos been supportive and uplifted me.
And that changes my mood when I feel down about stuff.
They change my mood, and I will never stop loving them for that.
