Pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne has made her debut on TikTok.
The Canadian music star posted her very first video on the social media platform Monday, sporting a very retro look - a black T-shirt and a striped tie, kind of like this - as she lip-syncs along to her 2002 classic "Sk8er Boi" while sitting on top of a ramp.
When the song gets to the chorus, "He was a skater boy/She said, 'See ya later, boy,'" the camera zooms in on the tie, before zooming out and revealing the ultimate sk8er boi, Tony Hawk.
The pro skater performs a a few tricks on the video on one of his own boards, which is perfectly pink on the underside.
Lavigne's TikTok debut arrived on the perfect day: Monday is Go Skateboarding Day, and she put in a plug on her Instagram to watch Hawk on his ramp via The Skate Park Project's (formerly The Tony Hawk Foundation) TikTok page.
Last month, the rocker shared a little video of her own boarding sesh. It ended in a little tumble, but she bravely shared the footage with fans on Instagram because, even in her 30s, she's still punk rock.
"Hope this makes you laugh as hard as it's made my friends and I laugh all week," she wrote. "That's what I get for sk8ing in my slippers and dress."
Here's to never growing up.

The story behind how Avril Lavigne got Tony Hawk to be a part of her viral "Sk8er Boi" TikTok debut isn't as "Complicated" as one might think. In an interview with her musician boyfriend Mod Sun for Audacy, the singer, 36, explained, "I knew I had to join , and then was like, what am I going to do? Play 'Sk8er Boi?' Skateboard? I don't know, I'll just call Tony Hawk." Lavigne then went on to say that rather than call the pro skateboarder, 53, she slid into his direct messages on Instagram, something she admitted she "never" does. "I was like, 'Hey, I'm going to film my first TikTok, would you mind coming over to my house and skate my mini-ramp?' He was like, 'Sure,'" she recalled with a laugh. Mod, 34, added: "He just like, appeared with a skateboard. Literally, just in the driveway." When Hawke walked through her front gate holding a skateboard, Lavigne said she had to "pinch" herself. " like, 'Is this even real?'" she said. "I was like, 'I feel like I need to be holding a guitar right now or something.' I was like, 'This is pretty epic.' Summer 2021 off to a good start."
The TikTok video starts off with Lavigne lip-syncing her 2002 song atop a halfpipe as she dons her signature look from the track's era: a sleeveless black t-shirt with matching shorts and a striped necktie. As the chorus plays, the video then cuts to Hawk wearing the same tie as he does a few quick tricks on his board.
Currently, the video sits at 6 million views, a feat that made Lavigne tell Mod, "I'm a TikToker now."
"He goes, 'Honey, don't say that,'" she recalled with a laugh.

Everyone remembers rocking out to Avril Lavigne's unforgettable hits in the 2000s. From Sk8r Boi to Girlfriend, the Canadian singer was coined an icon of the noughties pop-punk era – but where is the star now? http://instagram.com/p/CQgusFMnCrF Fans may have noticed the now 36-year-old singer-songwriter took an extended break from the spotlight before making an epic comeback in 2019. These days, she has 2.3million followers on TikTok and is planning to drop her next record, but the reason behind her mysterious absence is heartbreaking. In an interview with Billboard, Avril opened up about her health crisis that left her with crippling complications for over two years. The punk legend was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2014, a tick-borne bacterial infection that can cause major complications in the body's organs, joints and nervous system. http://instagram.com/p/CQ9U6rTLnsI Avril revealed she first started feeling unwell during her 2014 tour and saw multiple doctors for symptoms of pain and fatigue. When her health deteriorated, Avril claims she was in bed "for two years," and was left feeling "trapped" in her own body. "I had accepted that I was dying," Avril told Billboard. "And I felt in that moment like I was underwater and drowning, and I was trying to come up to gasp for air. And literally under my breath, I was like, 'God, help me keep my head above the water.'" Avrils heartbreaking confession explains the inspiration behind the title track on her last album Head Above Water. "I've really had the time to be able to just be present, instead of being, like, a machine: studio, tour, studio, tour. This is the first break I’ve ever taken since I was 15," she admitted. Avril is not alone in her battle with Lyme Disease. Celebrities like Justin Bieber, Bella Hadid and Ben Stiller all suffer from the long-lasting effects of a toxic tick bite. Symptoms of Lyme Disease are endless, but notably can include arthritis, extreme fatigue, paralysis, confusion and muscle pain. Tragically, 10% of people with condition never make a full recovery.

Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi (Live at the BRIT Awards 2003) Music video by Avril Lavigne performing Sk8er Boi (Live at the BRIT Awards 2003). (C) 2003 BRITS under exclusive licence to Arista Records, LLC Avril Lavigne in Area That may not be the most practical or sensible jacket design you’ll ever see, but this was a surprisingly fun and eye-catching look that felt a little bit like a freshened up version of something you might have seen Avril Lavigne wear to the VMAs fifteen years ago. Well, the important thing is that she’s happy and comfortable. Truly. We can’t really say we love this from a pure fashion perspective, but the thing about Billie Eilish is that she demands to be taken on her own terms and we can’t help but love that about her. Is Comfy Goth a thing? It is now. Dixie D’Amelio and Charlie D’Amelio The Tik Tok queens stepped out in two very different looks, much like the Bailey sisters did. Dixie’s look is helped by some restrained styling, but the marriage of the “top” to the skirt is awkward. Charlie’s dress and shoes have a bit of a cute fashion doll thing going on.
