So, I figured I would do a stream today to check out these surprises. I already got toilet paper in case I cry.\u201d And boy, did she need it. The first surprise was a 40-minute compilation video that recapped some of the best moments she had on-stream with friends in 2021. She couldn\u2019t hold back the tears and burst out crying several times while it played. \u201cOh my gosh, I didn\u2019t expect to get emotional from that,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s crazy.
