XSweet Sets the Bar with HD Red Carpet Livestreams at XMA and AVN Nominations

T

he adult entertainment industry witnessed a game-changing moment this November, as technology powerhouse XSweet brought interviews live streamed in full HD to the red carpet for the very first time. Combining innovation, star-studded glamor, and wildly entertaining interviews, XSweet proved yet again why they’re a leader in pushing boundaries. From laughs to jaw-dropping stories, here’s everything you need to know about XSweet’s debut livestreams at the XMAs and AVN Awards nomination parties.

Behind the Scenes at the XMA Nominations

On Wednesday, November 20, the red carpet was buzzing as Holly Randall—XSweet CEO, acclaimed photographer and podcaster—took to the red carpet to host red carpet interviews at the XMA nomination party in Los Angeles. Known for its outstanding recognition of talent in the adult industry, the XMAs (formerly the XBIZ Awards) celebrates excellence across categories from performers and directors to studios and retailers.

Holly brought her charm and industry expertise to the event, interviewing the biggest names in adult entertainment. But this year, things were different. Instead of per-recorded interviews to be edited and uploaded at a later date, XSweet unveiled it's first livestream directly from the red carpet.

Streaming on YouTube and Instagram in seamless HD, fans were treated to high-quality visuals and real-time interactions that had rarely been seen at adult industry events. This was thanks to Jeffrey John Hart the CCO of XSweet- with over a decade of experience in live broadcast, he directed the flawless stream on both nights. What resulted wasn’t just another camera feed—it was professional-grade production shot through a RED camera that captured every laugh, every outfit, and every surprise moment.

Lexi Luna Shines at the AVN Awards Nomination Party

Just the next day, on Thursday, November 21, XSweet raised the bar again at the AVN Awards nomination party. This time, XSweet’s Brand Ambassador, the gorgeous and charismatic Lexi Luna, took over hosting duties.

Fans tuned in to watch Lexi interview the industry’s top talent, and the interactions didn’t disappoint. From playful banter with award nominees to unplanned but hilarious moments on the carpet, Lexi brought warmth and fun to the livestream, creating the kind of authentic connections that XSweet prides itself on.

Thanks to XSweet’s cutting-edge technology, the live streamed interviews felt more intimate and immersive than any coverage the audience had seen before. Fans could finally feel part of the action, as though they were rubbing elbows with their favorite stars.

How XSweet’s Livestreams Are Changing the Game

Adult industry red carpet events have always been sensational, but live streaming hasn’t typically kept pace with the energy and glamor of these parties. Poor camera quality, glitches, or static feeds made it hard for fans to feel truly connected. XSweet is changing that narrative.

XSweet’s seamless HD streaming brought unparalleled quality to the XMA and AVN nomination red carpets. Viewers on YouTube and Instagram experienced crystal-clear visuals, professional audio, and a dependable live feed, setting a new standard for adult industry events.

But it’s not just about technology—it’s the people behind it. Holly Randall and Lexi Luna demonstrated XSweet’s commitment to investing in talent and community. Both were amazing hosts, creating moments that were hilarious, heartfelt, and even shocking at times (because, after all, anything can happen at these events!).

From funny behind-the-scenes stories to heartfelt reactions from nominees, Holly and Lexi captured the essence of the industry—and gave fans a front-row seat in a way that had never been done before.

Star-Studded Moments and Can’t-Miss Stories

The red carpets were packed with major stars, and the interviews were as entertaining as they were candid. You can expect to hear about:

  • How playing a pregnant woman for the Adulttime movie Birth made Casey Calvert feel about the actual idea of motherhood
  • The truly unexpected, wild (and possibly dangerous?) thing Lana Smalls likes to do with the... ahem... finished product from a boy/girl scene
  • Why Shawn Alff calls himself the "King of Cream Pies"
  • How Kimmy Granger made it through a difficult year and came out on the other side stronger

.... and so much more! Whether you're loyal to the intimacy-driven style of Holly or the high-energy personality of Lexi, there was a standout moment for everyone in these two livestreams.
