No, Lexi Love is not a “grandma” on Drag Race: 33 is a strength!
When it comes to Lexi Love from RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, an unexpected nickname has been given to her: "grandma." But is 33 really considered "old" in the Drag Race universe? The reality is, compared to previous Drag Race contestants, Lexi Love is far from being the oldest—and her age is actually a strength.
👵 “Grandma” at 33? Lexi Love reacts to the strange nickname
It’s hard to imagine anyone in their early 30s being called “grandma.” Yet, Lexi Love, a contestant on Drag Race season 17, has had to face this nickname from fans and some in the drag community. This is surprising, because at 33, Lexi is still a vibrant and energetic contestant—definitely not deserving of the “grandma” title.
On Drag Race, age is an interesting factor, but it’s not the defining one. Even though season 17 had the youngest average age in the show’s history (26.29 years), the ages of past queens have proven that age is not a weakness, but rather a strength.
🏆 Looking back at Drag Race “herstory”: The winners who were older than Lexi Love
Lexi Love is not the only older queen in Drag Race history. In fact, Raja (36) won season 3, Bianca Del Rio (38) won season 6, and most recently, Sasha Colby (37) won season 15. These queens have proven that in the drag world, age is not a barrier—it’s a part of strength, maturity, and experience.
🔥 The power of age: Drag Race is not just for the young
Even though Drag Race season 17 introduced a younger cast with an average age of 26, Lexi Love has proven that 33 is not just a number. She brings confidence, personality, and life experience that younger contestants can learn from. Age, in the drag world, is not a weakness—it’s part of unique beauty and creativity.

With her confidence and talent, Lexi Love has made the drag community pay attention to her and has proven that 33 is not “old”. By disregarding misconceptions about age, she has highlighted an important message: drag is for everyone—no matter your age.
