i snuck into the Streamys 

The "I just operate as if it's going to work out" is such a power move

"No I'm here just to be annoying". That has kind of become the channel motto. In all seriousness, you made a great choice with that dress. You looked fantastic.

Every fashionable boutique should hire a squad of fashionable teen girls to tell people the outfit they tried on looks great. Not that I disagree in this case, it does look great on you. :D

as a non-native English speaker it still took me WAY TOO LONG to realised it's 'Karat' and not CARROT that helped you get into the Streamys xDDDDD I was waiting for ANYTHING carrot-related for a solid 2 or 3 minutes xD

I was already excited about this video, but I cannot express in words the delight I felt seeing The Door again

Can’t wait for “I snuck into the met gala” “they got me into beyonces birthday”

I’m now really entertained by all these creators being like, “oh surprise we’ve been nominated for a streamy!” When it sounds like you were just nominating yourselves this entire time😅 I mean, good for you all, get some recognition, but that’s hilarious.

Okay but about the Amazonian comment, I always forget that you’re 5”2 until you mention it! You give off 5”9 energy. ✨🤣

as much as networking scares me, your content really has made a huge impact on how I view it. I feel like you are great at making connections and using them later and its so cool to see how that works in a genuine situation

Sounds like the slit dress illusion and not skipping leg day worked. The 5'2" Amazonian Xena Babe

Well people have to "nominate themselves" via submissions and application process for other awards shows like the actual Oscars. So don't feel weird about it next year please!

I didn’t watch the streamy’s this year as I watch a lot of small creators and have niche interests that wouldn’t get nominated or attend the event. Within my RU-vid niche (doll collector), many creators put on their own award shows and we used to have an annual event called the Sophie Awards held by the biggest creator in the community which was a huge deal! I’m happy I won one!

I lost my mom in September and the same day she passed, my son came home from the hospital after NICU. I found your videos and started binging them daily. They got me through a lot of loneliness lately. This is the first Christmas without her and last night I got to watch this and make Christmas cookies, something i did the last 25 year with my mom. it filled my heart with joy to feel like someone else was there with me. thank you for always putting out impeccable and quality content. frankly i’d listen to you set up a dresser from IKEA and still love it.

The urge to resist thirsting after Amanda becomes more difficult after each episode. Her look, personality and content is great. 9.7 is very accurate.

Stay tuned for the thrilling adventures of SWELL as she hunts for the elusive giant egg!

For some people glasses just complete their look. Amanda is some of those people.

your skill at getting into random events is amazing. there's an alternate reality amanda who was able to sneak into the capitol during the jan 6th riots. i'm pretty sure you could infiltrate area 51 if you so please

I hope your family stuff resolves itself but i love the callback to the door

GIVE THIS WOMAN THE EGG

For getting into award shows, there are ways for you to reach out to casting sites that do mass calls for seat fillers in LA. That’s how I’ve heard friends have gotten into the VMAs or AMAs or Grammys in the past!

In 10 years time we're going to get a defunctland style doc by Amanda trying to track down The Egg

I enjoy following this channel just for the "party crash for free food" energy.

There needs to be a comedy movie about the guys who "borrowed" the Egg from a props warehouse somewhere but it wasn't the right crate, and they had to make it work. 😂🥚🚚

Plot twist, Swell hosts the 2023 Streamys and comes on stage by bursting out of THE EGG.

I love how you giggle every time you complement your self or say something flattering to you 😂 it’s adorable

DAMN AMANDA YOU LOOKED FINE AS HELL edit: just got to the part where you talk about how it felt to hear that other creators like your work and honestly, as someone in academia, that's exactly how i feel when a professor i admire compliments me on my research, so it's completely understandable that you feel that way!!! it's nice to be recognized by your peers

I'm taking that confidence and energy and bringing it with me into 2023. Just operate as if everything's going to work out. Goddamn girl. Also you look absolutely stunning!!! They were right about being an Amazonian 5'2'' Queen :>

i would have 100000% voted for you for a streamy. If people knew nomination was free, people would have nominated you.

Your videos always feel like listening to your best friend tell you about a wild trip they went on while you were in the hospital. super comforting. haha like shits gunna just work out. and yes, you rocked that dress!

House of CB should have sponsored this; that dress looks so good I checked out their website and now I have five dresses I can't really afford in my shopping cart.

With going back and forth between your place AND your dad’s AND going to all these events, please don’t get burnt out! We love and value you so please take care of yourself consistently!

You and that dress looked fantastic. Those girls weren’t lying. Love your content. Ty so much for all the entertainment.

I really love how everyone is respectfully complimenting and/or thirsting over Amanda. Also, you looked amazing in that dress!

Next year you just need to make a deal with another creator that you'll nominate each other.

Amanda, you don't nominate yourself, you submit your work! If it makes you fell less weird to do this, tell yourself that every single person who won a Grammy or an Oscar had to submit their work for those awards! Every years, labels submit their artists' work for different categories (if the artists want to... last year The Weeknd said he'd ask his label to not submit his work for Grammy anymore... don't know if he actually did it... is he nominated this year? I'd have to look this up). You don't have a label or a production company, so you have to do it yourself. But it's not weird and it's not pretentious, and you deserve to be nominated! Also, the voters (don't remember the actuel term for them) who vote for the Grammys and the Oscars receive packages from the people who submitted their works. Usually it's a physical copy of the album or the movie (depending on which award we're talking about), but actual gifts are sent with them... to a point that rules had to be made! (Because you're more inclined to vote for someone who gave you a bottle of Champagne Veuve Clicquot or a piece of jewelry from Cartier!). So, really, submit your work next year. Maybe you won't be nominated (even if you deserve to be), but you'd try and that's perfectly fine to want recognition from your hard work!

She should just rename her channel into Amazonian Babe - Connector of Persons now

My thoughts on the Streamys are perfectly encapsulated by the fact that Dream got nominated for the Gamer award, but ProtonJon (Who basically created Gaming RU-vid as we know it) has, to my knowledge, never been nominated for one, which really goes to show how little the people in charge actually care about the event and what it represents.

Amanda doing this video in front of her door is giving so much nostalgia 😄 but also thanks souch for being so transparent about details and how to get into events and the actual process how these things work. I could watch Amanda apply for McDonald's and enjoy every minute of it

Am I the only one who has never heard of Airrack before? Nothing against him but it was a weird choice in my opinion.

Give 👏 Swell 👏The 👏Giant 👏Egg

The category you would definitely gave qualified for was an automatic win for Drew Gonzalez, I mean Danny Gooden, I mean, what was his name?

Whenever I assume something's gonna potentially be fancy I always dress business casual or semi formal. Saves me time and helps me stick out less just in case it's the complete opposite of what was assumed.

"I'll be arm candy" lolol so valid tho

i had to look into the description to learn that the company you were with had in fact nothing to do with carrots

“Im just here to be annoying” Is a lifestyle

I’ve worked on awards shows but not the Streamys. In answer to your question at 17:00 on who picks the categories to be in the show, it’s highly likely that it was a co-decision between the awards team and the production team, consisting of producers and a director who have all been hired because they have experience running awards shows. On these bigger shows, the awards team, which I would assume is RU-vid here , and production team tend to be separate. The awards team would be keeping track of who’s winning and obtaining the envelopes with the winner’s names. The production team would likely not know who the winners will be but are in charge of the show’s run time and order to a certain extent. Categories can get moved around based on who is coming and who the nominees are that have the biggest star draw. The producers are likely not young and super RU-vid aware so there was most certainly debates behind the scenes on which categories are more desirable than others. They likely had a list with even more categories that were then nixed before the Streamys nominations even opened. The Department head of the Talent team which works under production would be responsible for confirming the talent that was coming and making sure they are where they are supposed to be. I would say it is highly likely the production team knew who would be there and who would not. All of this to say, things could be different since the Streamys are a digital awards show rather than a traditional one for cable.

I just have to say, your laugh after asking if you could bring the giant egg home was so fun. Really made my heart happy 💖

Hey Amanda, I just wanted to say that I am absolutely so impressed with your content. As a long time viewer (like a year lol) and first time commenter, just wanted to not only remind you that your content is so appreciated by many, but also that you as a person are just so entertaining to watch. You're so funny, real, and refreshing. Keep it up! PS. THAT DRESS IS PHENOMENAL

“Amazonian babe at 5’2” the slit worked!

Is anyone else UwU to see the loved and h8ted doorknob again? 🥺

I saw the headline and yelled “yessssssssssss b****” Excited for this one 🎉

I opened RU-vid, saw ur video, and immediately knew it was gonna be great. Anyways, I've been a fan since early 2020 and to see your growth is amazing.

I find u describing ur feeling of going to events so relatable. Love it

Give swell the award she deserves 2023

Honestly Lasix was the easiest thing I jabe ever done got it 4 years ago and have not regretted it a second. You go in take a pain pill you go in they do their thing (takes less then 30mins you step out and things are a bit blurry but I could see. You take a sleep pill you have someone drive you home you SLEEP AS LONG AS YOU CAN. And when you wake up you see. Eyes are puffy but vision was perfect. I went did my 2 check ups and they were surprised with my recover time so if you want look into it and get the no prescription glasses they are cheaper to buy and don't suck when you loose them

i’ve been binging ur vids all week and was so surprised to see uploaded 20 minutes ago😭

I love your nervous laughter throughout this video♥️

Every time you get compliments and recognition it just warms my heart to see you so delighted. Im so thankful you got to go and share your experience with us.

I had FEMTO-LASIK surgery and I can't recommend it enough 😭 pre-op they give you numbing eye drops and sanitize (is that the right term?) your lids and the area around it, then you go into the OR and you lay down underneath the machine, the doctor will insert the forceps (?) that keep your eyes open and a tube like thing on your eyeball?? I couldn't see it I only felt it, then you just have to focus on the red flickering light until the doctor tells you it's over, you don't feel anything at all, the only terrifying thing is that when they lift your cornea flap everything goes dark and you can only see the flickering light 💀💀💀 Post-OP was really easy you just have to keep your eyes closed for the next 24 hours. What was uncomfortable in that period is that I felt a thick THICK hair in my eyeballs (which I assume is the cornea flap?) But that feeling vanished the very next morning Overall 10/10 experience

So at what point is Amanda going to go to the Oscars to review it?

You should pull a devil wears prada and hire someone to follow you around to remind you of peoples names and what they do 😌

Love Swell videos, I learn so much about things I never cared about 😂❤

27:29 minutes of swell being as scorpio as possible

10/10 video. I just know that retention is high lmao thank you for sharing your perspective !!!

I’ve never watched this award show yet I am invested in your experience

Lol oh wow when you show your angle of the entire Show floor, your literally the table NEXT to Corridor Digital! Love those folks! 12:19

Love that you're using the mic. It sounds so good compared to hearing the room reverb all the time. Your travel setup is so much better haha, please keep using it.

Two days ago I wondered about that door knob, and here it is! Nice dress as well.

woah, that dress looks beyond amazing on you girl!!!

You need to take a High Resolution pic of the door and green screen it behind you during some videos from home. Keep the fans guessing.

Loving the absolute Amazonian energy in this video 😂 In all seriousness, the *operating as if it will all work out* is something I'm taking to heart! lol

Lasik is super worth it. A bit terrifying yeah but I got it about 8 years ago & dont think my eyesight has gotten any worse since. The procedure was only about 15 minutes max as well. Regardless glasses are a great look on you!

Only a few minutes into this video, and I have to say that dress looks like it was made for you. Gorgeous!

bestie your the only youtuber i would even bother watching now and the only one i have post notifications on- bestie you deserve a streamy 😭

Hell yeah, read the title and am SO proud ❤️💐🍾

i just want to say that during my whole ninth month of pregnancy, ive been binge watching u, my due date is in two days and im pretty sure my baby knows ur voice better than my own. (my phone positioned on my bump)

Not sure if you're aware Amanda but Michelle Khare is looking for a 5'2 RU-vidr to box. Seems like it would be right up your alley - she mentioned it on Try Guys Keith Eats KFC live

That purple dress looked absolutely fantastic on you

What other gossip was there at the after party? Who hates who, who was too drunk? I’m glad you had a good time but I need more info about the after party

The dress looks really good on you! 🤗

OMG girl!!! THAT DRESSSSS!! Yes as soon as it showed up on video I was like that WAS MADE for you

All I can imagine is Amanda standing in a field like Brad Pitt in Seven “what’s in the egg? What’s in the EGG?”

Your hair looks so good!

I’ve been waiting for this 😭

You really just manifested your way to an invite

Your dress and makeup was fabulous! Yaz Queen, you killed it.

You should set up a green screen at your new studio so that the door can follow you everywhere 😅

omg the dress was stunning!

This video was lots of fun!

That dress is amazing!

I would watch you review paint dry. I swear, it’s not fair that you are so interesting

It’s always a swell day when you end it with an Amanda video 8:13 HOLY FUCK 🥵

For a second I thought I read that she snuck into the Emmys.

"Credit card for content creators" sounds like something that's going to become a huge talking point at some point in the future. I'm calling fake channels getting a card and ensuing legal drama/discussion for mid-2023.

I got lasik last year and wish I had done it a decade earlier. It is amazing to be able to lay in bed and see a clock, or even a TV!

Didn't know the streamys still existed. Don't really care cause I don't know who 95% of these people are, the 5% is probably just you and Corridor crew who your table was near, love those guys. Don't really understand why there needs to be an awards show for online creators. There is far too many creators in various niche corners collectively uploading insane amounts of content in a year to possibly satisfy anyone with an awards show. It's not like movies or video games where in comparison really doesn't release much in a year That dress looked great on you btw

Great video have hard about the streammys in the past but didn’t know it was viewable to the average person I would like to see u try to get in the raspberry awards that are for bad movies cause it would be nice to see what their award show is like and your also lucky to have an asos store close by cause I like the company but I have to order through the app that makes sizing harder for me

When i saw the background i had to check if youtube didn't just suggest me a video from before you moved

The purple dress is everything.

The leg slit SLAYED and you looked SO tall? Tbh you have tall person energy? I’m 5’9 but everyone thinks I am way shorter.
