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 seasonofRuPaul's Drag Race, placing as third/fourth runner-up alongside Gottmik.
McCorkell was born to Heather McCorkell[1]inGreenock, 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 seasonofRuPaul'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]
