Scarlet Envy (born February 26, 1992), is the stage name of Jacob James Grady and is an American drag queen, reality television personality, singer, and performer who is best known for competing on the eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race and the sixth season of its spin-off, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.

Early life

James was raised in Louisville, Kentucky, by two mothers, both named Sherri.[2] During childhood, he ran cross country for 12 years.[3] In 2014, he graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in advertising design.[2]

Career

Scarlet Envy first started drag in college, choosing the name Scarlet Envy from the lead character of the film Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara.[4] She entered a drag pageant, where she learned that she doesn't have the typical drag skills of dancing and pageantry. This experience, and having drag queen friends, ignited her drag career. She has credited her successful career to persistence, energy, and acceptance.[5] Envy is the drag daughter of Drag Race season 7 finalist Pearl.[6]

After auditioning four times,[2] Scarlet Envy was cast on the eleventh season of Drag Race in 2018.[7] She won the second episode's challenge along with Yvie Oddly.[8] She won the mini challenge in Episode 4,[9] participated in a six-way lip sync on episode 3,[10] and was eliminated on episode 6, losing the lip sync to Ra'Jah O'Hara.[11] Scarlet Envy returned for the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars, which began airing on June 24, 2021.[6] Envy placed safe in the first 4 episodes, until she was eliminated in the fifth episode by Ginger Minj, placing 9th overall.[12]

While she is perhaps best known for her televised appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Scarlet Envy has also played the title role of Yma Sumac in a production of The Legend of Yma Sumac at The Laurie Beechman Theatre, New York City.[13][14] She was also featured on a season finale of Saturday Night Live as a dancer during Katy Perry's performance of "Swish Swish", alongside fellow Drag Race contestants Yuhua Hamasaki (season 10), Vivacious (season 6), and Brita Filter (season 12).[15]

On June 20, 2019, Scarlet Envy independently released a single titled "Feeling Is Mutual".[16] The title of the song is based on her original Drag Race entrance line—"The world wants me, and the feeling is mutual."

Personal life

After college, Scarlet lived in New York City from 2019 to 2022,[17][18] before moving to Los Angeles in November 2022.[19]
