  • Now to RuPaul's Drag Race.

  • You better work.

  • Overnight, the Emmy-winning reality competition crowning its 16th queen.

  • Take a look at this.

  • The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, America's next drag superstar is...

  • Nymphia Wind.

  • Oh, Nymphia Wind joins us now.

  • The Drag Race winner starting her victory lap right here on GMA.

  • Look at you.

  • Congratulations.

  • Yes, congratulations.

  • That big old crown next to you. You just found out that you won a couple hours ago.

  • Yes, I did.

  • Oh my god.

  • What was that like?

  • What's it like?

  • Honestly, I think I need a holiday.

  • Then one day I'll wake up and I'm like, I just won Drag Race season 16.

  • It still hasn't sunken in yet to me.

  • So I'm still on a high, but I'm holding this.

  • I did actually win.

  • Oh, right there.

  • Right there with RuPaul, that legend.

  • Yes.

  • You made history.

  • You're the first Taiwanese winner, right?

  • And the president of Taiwan congratulated you.

  • Wow.

  • What's it like for you to represent your culture in this way?

  • It's very important for me to represent my country because I love Taiwan.

  • And to be able to showcase that on RuPaul's Drag Race means so much to me.

  • And you know, having the president of Taiwan to see what I've done, I was like, gag.

  • This is unreal.

  • Because as a president, it's someone you don't really necessarily think they would have the reach to know all the stuff.

  • So for the president to be able to know my existence in itself, I'm like....

  • It's amazing. It's amazing.

  • It's crazy.

  • And you got the banana right there, right?

  • Because this is your trademark bananas right there.

  • All of your fashion has been bananas.

  • I think we have some of the pictures right here because you've actually created each and every one of these looks.

  • What goes behind that?

  • Well, a lot of desperation and determination and creativity.

  • Just finding something beautiful that you want to do and make it happen.

  • What is it like for you?

  • Because I think when a lot of people think about drag race, they don't necessarily think about the creativity, the artistry that goes into it.

  • What is that like for you to tap into?

  • Do you always have some sort of new vision?

  • Yes, it always comes in visions for me.

  • I love drag because I'm able to create so many things and make beautiful things and to wear them as well and to embody a whole story with an outfit.

  • So that's what I love about drag, to be able to tell a story through clothes.

  • What's the story you're telling here?

  • I am telling a story of I have a tall, tall brain and I need however many pairs of sunglasses to adorn myself.

  • I love that.

  • I love that.

  • All the sunglasses.

  • Well, it's up for interpretation, so make up your own mind.

  • So you just won $200,000.

  • Woo.

  • Yeah, that's huge. - I did.

  • What are you going to do with the money?

  • Invest the money, for sure.

  • There you go.

  • My mom always taught me, use money to make more money.

  • So that has always stuck in my mind.

  • That's a good lesson.

  • Nymphia Wind, congratulations.

  • Thank you so much for being here. - Thank you.

  • And you can catch all the episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 on MTV.

  • Thank you again.

Now to RuPaul's Drag Race.
