This was the biggest stage of my life—the moment every performer dreams of. The one we train for, hustle for, do countless late-night gigs and makeup touch-ups in questionable lighting for… all in hopes that, when opportunity finally arrives, we’re ready. Thank you to everyone who has watched, supported, messaged, cried, screamed, clutched pearls, or threw a shoe at the screen (you know who you are). I’ve never felt so seen—or so overwhelmed with love. To the Britain’s Got Talent team, the incredible judges, and especially Simon Cowell… I didn’t expect your words, and I will never forget them. To the Brits who welcomed me with open arms—thank you for the warmth I didn’t even know I needed. More to share soon. But for now, just… thank you. Truly. - Jasmine Rice Labeija #simonowell #BGT #drag #opera
