Is it possible, Taylor Swift in the Behind the Bar studio?!
On this episode, Ashley and Hailee are over the moon to be joined by Kansas City’s top Taylor Swift impersonator and all-around amazing Showgirl, Lana Luxx!
Beyond her spot-on T-Swift impression, Lana is a true showgirl with an incredible backstory. From being the first trans woman to be named Homecoming Queen in the state of Missouri to winning first runner-up at Miss Continental, one of the most prestigious pageants in the drag world, Lana is blazing trails and making serious history!

Support for Mean Mule Distillery
For this one-of-a-kind Behind The Bar episode, nothing could be finer than sipping on delicious Watermelon Poblano canned cocktails (poured from only the pinkest of cans) from Mean Mule Distilling Co. Beyond enjoying their incredible taste, this drink choice was a BTB salute to this wonderful Kansas City distillery who recently lost their founder, Jeff Evans. Now more than ever BTB (and the entire community) is rallying behind Mean Mule and the Evans family. You can support them by picking up your favorite Mean Mule canned cocktails and tequila at your favorite local spirits purveyor (a special BTB shoutout to Mike’s Wine and Spirits!) or visit Mean Mule distillery in person at 1733 Locust St. in KCMO.
There’s also a GoFundMe available to assist Jeff’s son, Felix, and help launch him toward the future his dad dreamed of for him.
