#TeamInternet got a shoutout at #AppleEvent

Context: Emma Blackery, started a YouTube channel to promote her music. She ventured into comedy and vlogging as well, whilst always having her heart set on music. In the five years since she started, she's built up an audience of 1.4 million on YouTube, whilst launching multiple EPs and starting her own VEVO channel. 

And Now: Emma Blackery's album artwork was shown on screen during Apple's launch of the iPhone X. 

It didn't take Twitter long to dig up some parallel artist feature by Apple. 

"I’ve said it before: the internet is weird


I guess Blackery can give up her day job now. Being a singer-songwriter is her day job, along with posting loads of lifestyle vlogs

Nevertheless, it’s a classic rags to riches story. I wonder how Apple found her

It’s a mystery, but it could have something to do with her 1.4m YouTube subscribers, her 656k Twitter followers, and her 401k Instagram followers."
