Avril Lavigne Presents Olivia Rodrigo With Songwriter of the Year Award: ‘Her Songs Are Her Truth’
Olivia Rodrigo, who rose to stardom after the success of her debut single “Drivers License” topped the charts in January, was honored with Variety’s Songwriter of the Year award at this year’s Hitmakers event on Saturday.
Avril Lavigne presented Rodrigo with the award, introducing the artist by saying, “This year we were introduced to a new artist whose debut album marked a major return for rock-and-roll on the charts.”
“From ‘Driver’s License’ to ‘Good 4 You’ to ‘Deja Vu,’ Olivia’s singles from her album ‘Sour’ are part of the collective psyche of 2021, and she wrote every single one of them,” Lavigne added.

Last night in Toronto, she was joined onstage by Lavigne to perform the pop-punk classic. Rodrigo introduced the singer as someone “who broke down so many barriers, and opened so many doors for girls like me. I’m so, so, so lucky that she came here tonight to sing with me.” After the performance, she said Lavigne was “so fucking cool.” Check out the footage below:

The post Olivia Rodrigo Duets “Complicated” with Avril Lavigne in Toronto: Watch appeared first on Consequence.
Since her “Sour World Tour” first kicked off earlier this month, Olivia Rodrigo has been honoring her grunge-pop forebear Avril Lavigne by performing a cover of the latter’s 2002 hit “Complicated” each night. Finally, in a glorious full-circle moment, Lavigne joined Rodrigo onstage in Toronto last night to duet the song together.
Before inviting her to the stage, Rodrigo described Lavigne as someone “who broke down so many barriers, and opened so many doors for girls like me.” Rodrigo continued: “I can’t sing her praises enough. She’s from Canada, and I’m so, so, so lucky because she came here tonight to sing with me.” Judging by the instant uproar of applause, those were the only clues the audience needed to figure out who the special guest was.
Both donning plaid miniskirts and platform Dr. Martens boots, Lavigne took to Instagram after the show to return the kudos: “Jumped up to sing ‘Complicated’ on stage with @oliviarodrigo in Toronto tonight,” she wrote. “It was very sweet to perform with you tonight on your SOUR tour!! Have an incredible tour gurl. Keep killing it. Sending you so much love.”
You simply can’t name a more iconic duo. Check out footage of Rodrigo singing “Complicated” with Lavigne below.
Earlier this year, Rodrigo took home trophies for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album (SOUR) at the Grammys, where she also performed her breakout song “drivers license.” Her “Sour World Tour” continues through North America and Europe all the way through July, and tickets are available now via Ticketmaster. Up next on Lavigne’s schedule are a few dates on Machine Gun Kelly’s “Mainstream Sellout” tour this summer, as well as a handful of headlining gigs promoting her new album Love Sux; tickets for those are available on Ticketmaster, too.
