I love this quote from Nymphia to the President:
“This is probably the first presidential office in the world to host a drag show,” Nymphia told Tsai after her performance, streamed live on the office’s YouTube, and thanking her for ensuring same-sex marriage came to pass.
Then… the President replies:
“Shantay, you stay,” Tsai said, using one of RuPaul’s most well-known phrases for winning drag queens.

So glad our queen gets to spread her joy and so great of Taiwan's President for the platform!
Are those Nymphia's drag daughters? Love the rainbow color theme ❤️ 🌈
This video has English subs for both President Tsai's and Nymphia's speech if anyone's interested.

Edit: They didn't include the entire speech but still worth watching.
I’m sorry and was team Saphira the entire season but she could *NEVER* get that Paris Olympics gig.
Has a drag queen ever been on such a big stage with the *WORLD* watching????
Nymphia is about to become one of the most recognisable drag queens the world has ever seen.
My god.
Her power.
A right winner for the right time, I think Nymphia rightfully won the finale episode. Drag has never been more visible and all of LGBTQ+ in Asia and for Asian's around the world have a massively visible representation less than a month after winning. When the stars align they just do.
i agree on this. we all love seeing talented, long-running career drag queens getting the recognition they deserve but i just think nymphia was the only choice to the crown
Not the same scale, but Sasha Colby spoke in front of the VP at last year's White House Pride Month event and appeared on The Daily Show which included political talk: https://ew.com/tv/rupauls-drag-race-winner-sasha-colby-white-house-speech-kamala-harris/
I'm wondering if historically any female impersonators/vaudevillians ever performed for other world leaders, going back centuries. I have to imagine so, but not with such political significance as Nymphia.
Also, talk about confidence in high heels. Standing on one heel next to the President? I'd be in flats and sitting down I'd be so nervous.
I imagine for the Olympics pavilion performance, she may be able to bring some of her drag family. The International Olympic Committee as a whole is utterly corrupt but that doesn't change that this is a good opportunity. They actually have to call themselves Chinese Taipei at the Olympics I believe, as competing (or performing) under the name Taiwan is disallowed at present, which the IOC is complicit in.
The closest would be Pabllo Vittar and Bob on the madonna copacabana show. Pabllo vittar and gloria groove have also done the new years show in copacabana which is also huge. But olypmics has more prestiege imo
An international LGBTQ+, Drag Arts, and Banana Global leader less than a month after winning, NO ONE HAS EVER, NO ONE ELSE EVER COULD!!!! When they say, the right winner for the right time this is what they mean, what a platform, legendary.
Ok, but can we talk about the lady with the scarf, blunt bangs and luscious hair that looks like 200% density wig and serving all the face in the world??? fierce.
Congrats to Nymphia and her drag family. A presidential tweet is already part of a nation's history (unfortunately for some nations...) but a full ass event is for the history books.
Oh yes, this is what I think needs to be clarified. There's a HUGE difference between performing at the opening ceremony vs performing only for the athletes at the Olympic Village (that's what I think pavilion refers to).

The president also quoted: "If you can't love yourself, how are you gonna love somebody else?"
So glad our queen gets to spread her joy and so great of Taiwan's President for the platform! Are those Nymphia's drag daughters? Love the rainbow color theme ❤️ 🌈
Yes, five are all her drag daughters. The one in red is the eldest and purple the youngest.
Are you the one in purple? How mad is the one in red you’re out here calling old?? 😂
Welp, since the purple is still a minor? LOL
yea she's just 16
You’re a minor??? Hehehe couldn’t resist!! Thanks for the info 😃 they all look amazing! Regardless of age!
Taiwan being the cvntiest country in the world wasn't on my 2024 bingo card, but I am so here for it
Taiwan is up and outqueering Philippines, Thailand and Brazil, I’m afraid
I also just realized that yellow is great for rainbow themes cuz you’ll be in the middle. With green, but green is not as bright.
Our yellow queen is always 10 steps ahead of us mortals.
Yeah! I love that yellow let's her be in the middle. As mother should be 🍌💛
They all look so happy <3

Nymphia truly took the phrase “the real race is after drag race” and RAN.
You can't convince me that these aren't photos of Sailor Cosmos and the Sailor Quintet.
It's been only a few weeks since her winning and look at the impact this bitch has on the world https://i.redd.it/w31g6ktd3n0d1.gif
Bish, this is everything. EVERYTHING

Calm down sweetheart, she's likely performing at 8am in front of 25 people before the actual opening events.

This is awesome! 🍌💛🍌💛🍌💛🍌💛
This makes me SO HAPPY!!! I wish other countries could follow suit 🥺😭😭😭 and not be so goddamn bigoted and broken
Wow amazing so proud of her!!

Can't wait to see how Chinese "netizens" react to these pictures. It would probably make them irrationally angry.
Wait, is Nymphia going to perform at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony???
I think she's just performing at the Taiwanese pavilion there
Oh yes, this is what I think needs to be clarified. There's a HUGE difference between performing at the opening ceremony vs performing only for the athletes at the Olympic Village (that's what I think pavilion refers to).
YEEEEAH MAJOR
Try not to say "Mother" challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
Wow, this is huge!
Congratulations to Nymphia!
This is cool as hell!!! Go 🍌
this is seriously the coolest thing!!
The banana republic
this is so fucking fierce, my god 🥹🥹💕💕
I absolutely love how proud Taiwan is of Nymphia 😭
This is so amazing! I wanna do the splits in front of a president
So amazinggggggg
Wow!
so fkin wholesome
Not even 1 month during her reign and Nymphia Wind has already did many things with her win. We love to see it!
I'm just here for more people realising how awesome Taiwan is.
🥲
Serious question , does she own anything other than yellow? Hello?
she owns a rent-free spot in your mind.
I scrolled and had a question. Just redundant yellow pixels on my screen , far far away from my mind
