Winner
Shangela
When it comes to staples in LGBTQ entertainment culture, drag queens are definitely a celebrated act.
So it was only right when Beyoncé and Jay-Z received the Vanguard Award at the GLAAD Media Awards, an epic drag act would pay tribute to the Queen Bey.
RuPaul’s Drag Race veteran Shangela was completely willing and able to set fire to the stage. Shangela (real name D.J. Pierce) lip-synced a medley of Beyoncé hits like “Partition” and “***Flawless,” complete with epic choreo and flow-tastic wigs blowing in the wind.
Influencer Raymond Braun captured some of the glow below.

Once Shangela was done owning the stage, Beyoncé and Jay-Z gave her a standing ovation, and Bey even shouted out Shangela in her award speech saying, “I’m just super honored and overwhelmed. I’ve already cried. I put a run in my stocking from Shangela!”
