The Merrell Twins Reminisce on Seven Years at VidCon and Talk Hosting ‘Night of Awesomeness’ During VidCon Now (Exclusive)

The Merrell Twins are headed to VidCon for their seventh year!

The 23-year-old creators’ experience is going to be a little different this year as the annual convention is now a summer-long virtual event celebrating the biggest online video and digital stars with VidCon Now

“VidCon is one of our favorite events that we get to attend because pretty much the only reason why we attend is just to meet the fans. We love meeting people and unfortunately we can’t do that this year,” the girls tell Celeb Secrets. “We’re so sad we can’t attend in person but thank God for technology that we’re able to do stuff over Zoom. It allows people who can’t even attend VidCon (normally) to watch!”

Tomorrow, the girls will be teaming up with AwesomenessTV for the Night of Awesomeness event, which is expected to bring the worlds of the popular channel and VidCon together as your favorite creators go head to head in a variety of iconic YouTube challenges and introduce new ones that will have audiences, laughing, dancing, and putting their pop culture trivia to the test.

“AwesomenessTV reached out to us and asked us to host the Night of Awesomeness, which is a show on stage where creators are performing and doing challenges,” the girls say. “We’re taking that and doing it virtually this year.”

Aside from Vanessa and Veronica, top-tier creators are confirmed to make appearances throughout the event, including TikTok star Amelie Zilber (2.8M), Riley Hubatka (1.3M), the Coverboys, ATV’s Honey Robinson, and the Montes Twins. The evening will also feature special musical performances from JUFU (3.1M), Avenue Beat, and more. It follows VidCon Now’s first community tentpole “Proud Together,” which honored Pride and the Black Lives Matter movement and featured hosts Eugene Lee Yang and RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Mayhem Miller alongside AmbersCloset, Jensen McRae, James Charles, Amanda Gorman, Kingsley, Calle y Poché, Gigi Gorgeous, and Rebecca Black, among others.
