The Streamy Awards’ Biggest Moments, Winners and More From the 2023 Ceremony
The Streamy Awards united digital creators in Los Angeles, with honors bestowed for their contributions across channels including YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. The MatPat-hosted occasion also featured a range of starry and musical moments — the best of which you can see below.
During the ceremony, Meghan Trainor notably won the Rolling Stone Song of the Year award for her pop song “Made You Look.” While accepting her trophy onstage from Dream and Lizzy McAlpine, Trainor shared that she wrote the hit song during postpartum, memorably thanking her two children in addition to her co-writers and family in her acceptance speech. The musician later celebrated her win with friends including Dylan Mulvaney, Chris Olsen and drag queen Shea Couleé to commemorate the occasion.
Dylan Mulvaney was memorably given the Breakout Creator trophy, following her rising status on TikTok and Instagram. The influencer, comedian and actress shared a powerful speech while accepting her award, calling on content creators to show unity for transgender rights.
“I look around this room, and I just see so many amazing allies that have platforms, and I think allyship right now needs to look differently,” Mulvaney shared in her speech, which can be viewed on YouTube. “You need to support trans people publicly and proudly.”
The Streamy Awards also included musical performances by rapper Armani White and Icona Pop. White, in particular, took the stage to perform his songs “Billie Eilish” and “Silver Tooth” with his DJ, Jah. You can now watch both of the duo’s musical numbers on YouTube.
The Streamys featured a wide array of honorees and awards during its 2023 ceremony. The event bestowed its annual Streamys Creator Honors to influencers Vivienne Medrano, Brittany Broski and The Korean Vegan. Additional awards — divided by platforms, content types and individuals — were also given to social media stars like MrBeast, Jay Shetty, Meghan Trainor and more.
