LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Reps for award-winning performer Aubrey Kate say she celebrated a career milestone last week with her sponsorship of the first Trans Erotica Awards ‘Transcending Model of the Year’ Award through her company, Transcending Agency. The winner, Bella Joie, was announced last Sunday at the 2025 TEAs.

“The Transgender Erotica Awards 2025 was nothing short of magical,” Kate said. “Everyone radiated stunning beauty on the red carpet, making it an unforgettable night of celebration and empowerment. I was honored to present my company’s first award, representing the hard work and dedication of the Transcending Agency. I can’t wait for next year’s event and to continue celebrating the incredible talent within our community.”

In addition to sponsoring and presenting the Transcending Model of the Year Award, Kate was also a Gold Sponsor of the event. When it came time to name the winner of the Transcending Model of the Year, Kate appeared on stage with fellow performer Brittney Kade to announce Bella Joie’s victory.

Kate is no stranger to winning awards herself. Known as the “triple threat,” Kate was the first trans performer to sweep at all three major adult award shows back in 2017. She also won the AVN Fan Choice Trans Performer of the Year and AVN Trans Cam Performer of the Year that same year.

Her run of awards continued in 2018, as she took home three AVN awards, including Trans Performer of the Year award for the second year. She also won the 2018 AVN award for Best Sex Scene for “Squirt Queen Squirt” with Adriana Chechik and signed as Evil Angel’s first-ever trans contract star the same year.

“In the span of her nearly 16-year career, she has been awarded and nominated for major award shows such as AVN, XBIZ, TEAs, Fleshbot, Nightmoves, and more,” Kate’s reps noted. “She received the distinction of the TEA Transcendence Award and was later honored as a TEA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.”
