MAKE-UP artist and Scottish YouTube star Jamie Genevieve has received what she describes as her “most fitting” award yet – a Tennent’s Golden Can.
The influencer, whose lifestyle and make-up videos have amassed more than 61 million views since 2013, visited the Tennent’s brewery in Glasgow to collect her prize for her contribution to Scottish culture.
The 25-year-old has more than 770,000 subscribers to her channel and will now join the likes of Outlander actor Sam Heughan and rockers Biffy Clyro in the beer maker’s Golden Can hall of fame.
Genevieve said: “I can’t believe it – I’ve been a long-time Tennent’s drinker and out of all the awards I’ve been nominated for, this definitely feels the most fitting.”
Tennent’s awards a Golden Can each year to the most-deserving Scots across the globe in film, TV, comedy, music, sport and all areas of Scottish culture.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
