Trivia
- On June 3, 2021, the RuPaul's Drag Race YouTube channel uploaded an unlisted video with appearances from RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Matthews, Jamal Sims, Loni Love, Gottmik, and Symone. This video was intended to spark interest for the Television Academy for the next award cycle, but it unintentionally gave a peek into Season 14 as in the background of Loni's Gottmik and Symone interview, the Werkroom stations are filled with the queens' wardrobes for the season.
- On August 23, 2021, it was confirmed that Season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race will air on VH1 unlike the season before it, All Stars 6. It was also confirmed that Untucked would be returning for its 10th season on television.[6]
- Following the airing of Episode 7, The Daytona Wind, and its Untucked, both episodes became the series' most highest rated episodes respectively on IMDb.[7][8]
