Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race think they have worked out that Kylie Minogue will appear on the show.

It all started when RuPaul posted a message in support of Kylie Minogue’s most recent album, which is titled Disco.

He wrote: “I’ve listened to @kylieminogue “Disco” album EVERYDAY this month. #Masterpiece." 

Minogue herself responded to the message, replying: “YES Ruuuuuuuu!!!”

Naturally, Drag Race fans have since been adamant that Minogue should appear as a guest judge on the Australian version of the popular series.

“This better be the unofficial confirmation that @kylieminogue is going to be guest judging Drag Race Down Under,” one person wrote.

However, some sleuths highlighted that this could indeed be a hint that a guest appearance is happening. 

They highlighted the reports that Minogue has just emerged from quarantine after “secretly” travelling to Australia, and that Drag Race Down Under is currently in production.

“She’s back in Australia at the moment and they are filming the Australian version of Drag Race so I’m wondering if the timing is coincidental or because she’s on the show,” one wrote.

“So Kylie has gone to Australia and they are filming Drag Race Down Under now (I know it’s in NZ) but my hopes are up!”

Whether Minogue appears on the show remains to be seen.
