As a massive fan of Drag Race herself, she’s seen how passionate – and at times, cutthroat – fans can be, especially to queens of colour. ![]() “I’m a perfectionist, so sometimes I feel like I’m a little too picky about things like, ‘Oh, well, I can’t post that because I don’t look good in it.’ I feel like I’m not posting as much as I used to, but I’m just trying to make sure I’m putting out things that I feel represent me.”īefore season 12 aired, Crystal scoured “the Reddits” to see how viewers perceived her. I was like, ‘What does it mean? Am I rich now?’ It’s been a little bit strange because there’s so many eyes on me.” Her tone quickly changes. “It was crazy to see my Instagram followers increase throughout the season. “Now that I’m a huge celebrity, my life is so different,” she jokes. I see it as this friendship that I’m going to have forever, which I’m so grateful for.”ĭespite all the love, Crystal admits that she’s slightly overwhelmed with her sudden rise to fame. She is one of the people I really clicked with, and we loved each other from the moment we met. “Gigi and I joke that we are actually in a non-physical relationship. “My boyfriend likes to remain anonymous, so the whole thing was Gigi was nice,” she starts. Her ‘romance’ with Gigi also became a hot topic, with fans concocting ‘Crygi’ as their official couple name. The star’s resemblance to her Rhythm of the Night doppelganger (who hasn’t been in touch, by the way), and RuPaul’s perceived lack of knowledge about her Snatch Game character, bubblegum pop and nu-metal singer Poppy, achieved viral status. ![]() Online, Crystal followed in the footsteps of Vanjie as the subject of countless memes, which she championed on her own personal social media channels – especially the ones from ‘Incorrect Drag Race’. “Sometimes you feel like you’re not deserving of it, but it’s also crazy to think that me being myself is able to inspire other people to want to be themselves, which is all I’ve ever wanted to do.” “It is intense, they send me so much love,” she says of her dedicated fanbase. Right now, she’s sitting comfortably with 873k followers on Instagram. Unsurprisingly, all these factors won Crystal legions of supporters. Other fashion choices that showcased her whimsicality included a dragged up version of Freddy Kreuger and a lesbian spin on Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie for the makeover challenge. Following her hilarious impersonation of Madonna in the Ray of Light era for the Rusical, however, Crystal stampeded her way to the final, where she served one of the most batshit crazy performances in the show’s history reenacting the life cycle of a bird and regurgitating in her mouth to the beat of Nelly Furtado’s I’m Like a Bird. Although she started off strong, channelling The Powerful Girls’ queer anti-christ HIM in front of Nicki Minaj for her I’m That Bitch rap, she stayed in the ‘safe’ bracket for a number of weeks. “It’s just been crazy, and I’m so happy to finally tour and see people’s faces.”Īs soon as Crystal sashayed into the werkroom in a circus-themed ensemble and told producers that she’s a “little devil that likes to raise hell in the Bible Belt,” we knew she was going to define the U in the C.U.N.T. “I don’t even know how to process it, because all the interaction I see from people, it’s been online!” she continues. Of course, we also had Chromatica, the squirrel who mastered the Ninja Warrior obstacle course, TikTok and – more recently – the Cheetos’ downfall (not Coco Montrese, she’s doing well), but overall, Drag Race has arguably been the most reliable source of escapism for the queer community. ![]() However, seeing our favourite contestants lip-sync for their lives slash legacies and participate in wild challenges has been a major comfort in lockdown. 2020 has been utter crap, and we all know why, so we’ll avoid the spiel. It’s her first solo venture since rising to fame on Drag Race season 12, where she earned a coveted spot in the top three with Jaida Essence Hall and Gigi Goode and transformed RuPaul into an unruly fangirl week after week with her El Debarge-esque mullet. “Way different.” We’re speaking with America’s Next (Next) Drag Superstar over Zoom (the new normal!), while she quarantines in a Manchester hotel room for her headline UK tour, Wonderland. “I definitely thought my life was going to be different,” laughs Crystal Methyd. ![]()
