WATCH: The Shaytards Post Live ‘Happy Birthday Shay!’ Video

Shay Carl is a big YouTube personality and one of his five YouTube channels is called “The Shaytards.” Today is his birthday and Shay has started a huge trend on Twitter to support his channel. Using the hashtags #HAPPYBIRTHDAYSHAY and #2MillionSHAYTARDS, Shay is hoping to obtain 2 million subscribers to his YouTube channel … He’s pretty close, so maybe you could make it happen.

To start off, the live video is having a few technical difficulties, but they’re doing their best to make it a fun video for Shay. Have a look at the crew from Maker Studios who are trying to surprise Shay on his birthday.
