LOS ANGELES, Calif. – European adult performer Emily Adaire has returned as a Silver Sponsor of the 2026 Trans Erotica Awards, the event announced Friday. Adaire was the winner of the 2025 TEA Best Non-US Performer Award.

“Celebrating our work and our voices is what the TEAs are all about,” Adaire said. “I’m thrilled to support the event once more, though I’ll be cheering from a distance.”

“We’ve always thought of the TEAs as a community event,” said TEA Executive Producer Kristel Penn. “Generous performers like Emily are proof of that. I’m proud that our sponsor roster includes individual performers. I think it highlights how our community buys in, figuratively and quite literally.”

A trans performer from Germany, Emily Adaire began her adult entertainment career in 2021. She has since appeared in studio productions, created her own content and collaborated with over 50 performers across 250+ scenes.

“Known for her professionalism and passion, Emily has built a loyal fanbase,” the TEAs noted in the announcement. You can learn more about Emily at EmilyAdaireTS.com.

First launched by Grooby as an online competition, the TEAs has evolved into a popular in-person event welcoming individuals from the trans adult industry from around the globe. The 2026 TEAs, presented by Clips4Sale, will kick off with the Official Pre-Party on March 6 at the Bardot (the Avalon’s connecting property), followed by the highly anticipated Awards Program on March 8 at the Avalon. Entertainment details will be revealed closer to the show. Last year’s entertainment included accomplished and award-winning writer, porn performer, artist, Master Fetish Trainer, MC and global activist King Noire
