“I mean, it’s just funny to me,” she said. “Like, on one end, everyone’s like, ‘You look the exact same. You haven’t aged a day.’ But then other people are like, there’s a conspiracy theory that I’m not me.”

The star embodied a grunge emo aesthetic in the earlier years of her career. In 2007, she pivoted to a punk princess with the release of her third studio album, The Best Damn Thing.
Lavigne is set to release a Greatest Hits record later this year. She is also embarking on a global tour. It has not yet been revealed if she will visit New Zealand.
The popstar disappeared from the spotlight for five years between 2013 and 2017 as she battled with tick-borne Lyme disease.
She addressed fans in a post on Instagram upon her return explaining: “Five years have gone by since I released my last album. I spent the last few years at home sick fighting Lyme disease. Those were the worst years of my life as I went through both physical and emotional battles.”
She described Lyme disease as “the battle of my lifetime”, and said she wrote her single, With Head Above Water, “during one of the scariest moments of my life”.
