In addition to the collaboration videos with the members of the Sister Squad, throughout 2018 Chamberlain and fellow Dote-associated female YouTubers Ellie Thumann and Hannah Meloche posted videos featuring each other on their respective channels, calling their group of three "The Girdies".[15][better source needed]

In June 2018, Tana Mongeau invited Chamberlain to be a Featured Creator at Tanacon in Anaheim, Mongeau's alternative to VidCon that took place at the same time at a nearby convention center. Chamberlain's one-on-one onstage interview with Mongeau was the last event before the convention was canceled due to overcrowding and security concerns.[16][17] In July, Chamberlain was signed by United Talent Agency.[18]

At Vidcon 2019, Snapchat announced that Chamberlain would be one of several celebrities from various entertainment platforms to premiere a Creator Show later in the year.[19] At the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, Chamberlain won the award for Choice Female Web Star.[20] During the September New York Fashion Week, Chamberlain hosted the Teen Vogue event Generation Next attended by Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour.[21][better source needed] At the 45th People's Choice Awards, she was nominated for the Social Star award.[22] She collaborated with eyewear company Crap Eyewear for a line of sunglasses she helped design.[when?][23] In late September 2019, she appeared alongside other young social media celebrities in the first episode of the MTV and Snapchat collaboration Teen Code.[24][better source needed]
