For our season one finale, Britney Shields is joined by none other than her southern sister Sweet Tea, fresh off their show-stopping weekend performing together at Lake Arrowhead Pride alongside legends Mayhem Miller and Jewels from Long Beach. We kiki, we recap the magic of the mountains, and we celebrate a season of It Girl history. What’s the Sweet TEA indeed!Sweet Tea opens up about her powerful journey — from Florida to LA — a path marked by profound personal loss, surviving a hate attack, and ultimately finding community and joy in drag.
