The queen of Broadway was just honored by drag queens!
Liza Minnelli made a guest appearance on the season 17 finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race that aired Friday, April 18.
The EGOT-winner, 79, was honored with another award: The Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award.
Minnelli sat in a throne on the main stage clad in classic black Halston and jewels, and took a trip down memory lane with host RuPaul.
“Look at you!” Minnelli complimented the Emmy-winning host, 64.
“I know. It only took six hours,” RuPaul joked.
“Seven for me,” Minnelli replied. “I’m older than you.”
Minnelli recalled how fans would come to MGM studio to see her mom, actress Judy Garland and her dad, director Vincente Minnelli.
Minnelli’s younger half-brother Joey Luft, was also in the audience. Garland famously covered the song “Happiness is a Thing Called Joe.”
Fans can learn more about Minnelli via her 2024 documentary Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story.
Minnelli’s appearance came ahead of the season 17 champion being crowned.
