Trixie Mattel has teased her new era after taking an extensive break from drag.
Back in June, the beloved Drag Race alum revealed to Elle that she was taking a hiatus from the public eye.
“I can’t really do it anymore. I’m going on a three or four-month sabbatical: July, August, September, and October. I’m not even doing social media, so I’m going to really be gone for a while,” she revealed to the publication.
In addition to announcing her break from the industry, Trixie hinted that her return would bring a few changes.
“I’m probably not going to come back at the full speed of Trixie anymore. The Trixie we know, the Trixie that is on every YouTube video, on every show, and every TV show, I just can’t sustain that anymore,” she added.
“This giant rat wheel that I’ve been running on, I need to pull back a lot. So it will be honestly this phase of everybody being like, “You’re everywhere. How do you do it?” You do it by running yourself in the ground. I want a family, and I want a life, and I haven’t really had that. I’ll probably grow a beard.”
Trixie then joked: “Besides, the other drag queens have been waiting for me to take my high heel off their throats for years. They love it when I get a sick day. Those fucking bitches love it when I get sick. They love it.”
Staying true to her word, the All Stars 3 winner maintained a relatively low profile over the last few months, aside from a handful of one-off X tweets in September.
However, on 10 October, Trixie finally announced the official end of her sabbatical with a brief statement.
I’ve been off the internet for about four months. Please show me memes and important internet items so I can react on YouTube:

The next few weeks are looking to be busy for Trixie, with the drag superstar and her comedy partner Katya hitting the road for their The Bald and the Beautiful live tour. Shows kick off in October and run till December.
Trixie memorably rose to fame as a contestant on the seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, where she placed sixth, before conquering the third season of Drag Race All Stars.
In the years since Trixie has released four studio albums, embarked on six headlining tours, hosted six seasons of The Pit Stop, founded the cosmetics brand Trixie Cosmetics, judged two seasons of Queen of the Universe and led her own docu-series, Trixie Motel.
