Jade Jolie

Jade Jolie is an American drag performer originally from Fort Myers, Florida, who started performing in Gainesville. She competed on Season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2013, placing 8th, and has since built her career around a widely praised Taylor Swift illusion — she bills herself as a TSwift Illusionist. That persona took her into Swift's own orbit: she appeared as Taylor in the 2019 music video for You Need to Calm Down and joined the opening act at that year's MTV Video Music Awards. She returned to reality competition on Season 4 of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula and again on Dragula: Titans 2. In October 2023, she publicly came out as a trans woman.
