Willow Pill spoke to Insider about her "uncomfortable" reign and why she would "adore" to host "SNL."- The "
RuPaul's Drag Race " winner triumphed over British ballerina Lady Camden in the season 14 finale.
"
After lip-syncing for the crown against the British-born Lady Camden to Cher's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," the 27-year-old Colorado queen emerged triumphantly.
Speaking to Insider days after the finale, held earlier this month in Las Vegas, Pill said she was still processing her win.
"I'm not gonna lie, it has been difficult to have a moment and to sit down and be like, 'Oh my gosh, I just won "RuPaul's Drag Race,"'" she told Insider. "So hopefully, that will come soon because I'd really love to have a little bit of time to enjoy it and bask in the glory."
Pill told Entertainment Weekly that it's easy to "lose yourself in all the...fame and celebrity" but later told Insider that she's confident she won't with the help of her "really amazing group of friends."
"They definitely keep me grounded and keep me humble," she added. "Because it is easy to lose yourself with fame, you become very popular and everyone eats right out of your ass."
Last year's winner, Symone, attended the Met Gala, partied with Madonna, and was featured on the cover of Interview Magazine. What ambitions does Pill have for her reign?
Pill said she'd love to host 'Saturday Night Live' one day
"I'm not quite sure totally yet," she said. "I'd love to get some time so I can kind of map out a little bit of what I want to do with my reign because I do want it to be special. But yeah, I want it to be kind of gross and chaotic. I want it to be even maybe a little bit uncomfortable."
Pill revealed she would "adore" to host "SNL," adding that she appreciates "queens who...push the boundaries a little bit of what might be tolerated by the general public."
"Every time I try to do that, it ends up being loved," she added, citing her iconic "spaghetti bath" performance where she lip-synced to Enya's 2000 hit song "Only Time" while eating a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs before falling into a bathtub.
After her drag sister, Yvie Oddly won season 11, Pill becomes part of the first drag family winners in the franchise's history. However, she has yet to be in touch with Oddly.
"I'm sure she's sent me a text. It's probably buried on my phone that I am rejecting right now," she said. "But no, I have not even talked to my mother."
Pill said that going forward she's eager to center herself in her art.
"For the last year it's really been geared towards the 'Drag Race' audience, which is awesome and great, but also, you know, I need to do it for myself," she said.
