All Stars 11 inducts a new Queen into the Drag Race Hall of Fame
Drag Race All Stars 11 has come to an end and with it, a brand new winner!
The season’s top six queens, A’keria C. Davenport, Jasmine Kennedie, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Crystal Methyd, Dawn, and Joey Jay, fought a series of grueling battles, making it to the finals.
As the competition began to dwindle, we were left with Crystal Methyd and Joey Jay duking it out in a final lip sync battle to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park.”
While both showed out in their performances, as we know, there can only be one winner of Drag Race All Stars…
Warning: Major spoilers ahead for the grand finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 11.
In a dramatic conclusion, Crystal Methyd has officially been entered into the Drag Race Hall of Fame! Part of winning means she is taking home a cash prize of $200,000. She is the first queen of Mexican descent ever to win the U.S. franchise.
During her return, she won four maxi challenges, including both episodes in the semi-finals.
Last year, we saw Ginger Minj, who is of Puerto Rican descent, become the first Latina winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.
Crystal made sure to rep her Latin roots in her dedication and donned a lavish ball gown featuring gorgeous Aztec inspiration.
After Crystal's crowning, there was a moment where RuPaul acknowledged a visibly emotional Jasmine Kennedie onstage. Kennedie expressed her dismay at failing to snatch the crown.
"I just feel like I've tried so hard to get a win and I really thought I was great. I don't mean anything against Crystal, but talent show? That's all," Kennedie said to RuPaul.
On social media, Kennedie later clarified she wished no ill words to be thrown toward Crystal, who she described as “ A F*CKING ICON.”
I have seen a lot of hate towards my sis @CrystalMethyd the last 2 days and I wanna make this very clear, SHE IS A FUCKING ICON, the brand…fierce, the looks…next level…the execution…top tier..we should not be sending hate to her based of me reaction to not winning.

Crystal Methyd first competed on the twelfth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars way back in 2020. While her “screwball sense of humor,” campy fashion style, and zany personality got her far in the season twelve competition, she ultimately placed runner-up.
You can say Crystal returned to the franchise with a mighty vengeance! Condragulations, Crystal!
