Ross Matthew McCorkell (born 26 May 1989), better known by the stage name Rosé, is a Scottish-American drag queen and singer based in Manhattan in New York City. He is best known for competing on the thirteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, placing as third/fourth runner-up alongside Gottmik.
McCorkell was born to Heather McCorkell [1] in Greenock, Scotland, in Inverclyde. As a young child, he moved with his parents, brother, and sister to Aberdeen, where he grew up. At the age of 10, the family moved to Sugar Land, Texas, [2] where his parents still live. McCorkell says that to fit in at school he would put on an American accent. [3] [4]
McCorkell, after starting drag in 2017, performed in a queer play as part of the Capital Fringe Festival, in Washington, D.C. [5] He originally considered making “PIG.” his drag name. [6] Then he, together with queens Jan Sport and Lagoona Bloo, formed the pop group Stephanie's Child in 2018. [7] In 2017, Rosé won the Lady Liberty drag competition in New York after 12 weeks of competition against 73 other drag kings and queens. [5] He graduated from Wichita State University. [8]
Rosé's casting on the thirteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race was announced on 9 December 2020. [9] Rosé performed well in the competition, winning three challenges, including the Rusical, [10] and ultimately reaching the top four alongside Gottmik, Kandy Muse, and Symone. [11] Rosé was one of two contestants to never be up for elimination during the season, along with Gottmik. Rosé was eliminated during the finale episode in a lip sync battle against Kandy Muse, ultimately tying with Gottmik as second/third runner up. [12]
After the airing of the Snatch Game episode, Rosé posted a mini-series to Instagram's IGTV and YouTube titled Mary, Queen of Scots, performing as the Snatch Game character. [13] The mini-series has featured some of Rosé's friends, including Jan and Matthew Camp. [13]
McCorkell released his debut single as a solo artist on 7 May 2021, called "The Devil in the Details". [14]
In December 2022, Rosé was cast in Titanique, a successful off-Broadway musical parody of James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster film.[ citation needed]
In July 2023, Rosé was announced to star as Glinda in the Geva Theatre Center's all-LGBTQ+ production of The Wizard of Oz. [15]
