I think that's what fans hope because they ship it. It fits the narrative that there could have been something there. So to add something else I saw someone comment years ago that he wasn't at her wedding with Deryck. I don't believe any of this btw but I ship it.

How did she destroy Evan's song? Best Years Of Our Lives (remix) they destroyed the instrumental and plus her vocals don't bring anything to the song, she's just there...xD in flames at least she's doing the soft parts and the higher harmonies and a bit of of "high notes" at the end, so her precence in the song is not useless, let's say. but evan's song was better the way it originally was conceived, an acoustic mid-tempo ballad, not that crappy "modern" (now dated) remix they did. I literally didn't even know there was a version without Avril

To add to the "Best Years Of Our Lives" discussion (because "Flames (Acoustic)" isn't out yet where I live): I'm pretty sure I've read that the song is actually about Evan having lost a good friend ("lost" as in "passed away"). It's been ages since I've read this, though, so I don't remember if it's fact or rumour, nor where I actually read it. But this narrative fits the lyrics way better than it being about Avril imo.
I also highly disagree about Avril "ruining" the song. I much prefer the version with Avril. Her and Evan's voices compliment each other so well. She also sounds really good on the track. Her vocals in the last chorus are amazing. And the more techno-ish/dj-ish production (or whatever you call it), while kinda outdated by now, adds to the song. The original solo version sounded kinda bland to me, in comparison.

I don't like the production used on Avril+Evan version, but I think her voice was ok on the track. They definetely should've kept the oroiginal acoustic arregement just as the live version performed in Black Star Tour:

"I never thought that WE would end, gone are all the days, when we swore we'd never break" it doesn't seem like a losing someone song to me. The rest f the lyrics yes, it could be, but that part is kinda like..nope xd haha and tamy, don't worry, we obviously have different tastes and that's ok. It sounds really dated to me and her sound good in the song, well that's what supposed to be, xD i really was looking for the moment when they would make a song together and that they decided to make best years the one...it really made me happy and then..."oH LeT's mAkE tHis MoDerN"
i do think that maybe the orginal instrumental is a bit simplistic (which works for me) but they could've added real drums, strings, piano, idk, the traditional way you make a song lol, best years is not the right song to tunr into hip-hop 😂😂 but anyasy, this went too offtopic, i'm really sorry xD
only 20 minutes till i'm abl to hear the acoustic, it seems she re-recorded her voclas after all (??) that's good. D:

Agree the solo version of Best Years is 100000x better. But I get why he stuck Avril on it, gets his name out there a bit more. Similar to Mod with Flames.

As an Evril shipper I felt BETRAYED when he released the song ahhaha then I felt angry at Taylor bc she never responded to him LIKE! gurl! ...but knowing Avril and Taylor's dating history i think i'm glad they didn't date Evan LOL.....
i think Avril and Evan dating would've ruined their friendship bc u know, she would've probably broken up with him...OR maybe and just maybe he was the one (?) lol, ok, i need to get over it, it's been 20 years already.... 😂😂😂

Ino I did the same and started watching old videos and performances and in the best years live at BST they were just complimenting each other and everything was so sweet and cute and it lowekey gave me a heart attack. UGH! i miss them together so much.... 😭😭😭 "getting over it" it's not working so far 😂 i'm not even kidding when i say that i think i'm as fan of Evan's that i am of Avril's. (actually he has more songs that "touched" me, if that makes sense, but well, his music was also more depressing xD)

I really like watching vids of the Let Go's era and Evan & Avril's friendship is obviously one of the highlights. However, I was never crazy about shipping them. Maybe it's because I'm gay, but I always saw them as cute bffs.

Taylor actually did respond to Evan, even if it was a very basic response. Evan tweeted the video to Taylor and she responded saying "This made me smile". It seems she deleted the tweet, but here's an article from MTV News confirming she responded.

Evan tweeted that he's "Married af." If true, congrats to him and RIP to all the Evril shippers.

As much as I’ve always loved the idea of Evril, it was never going to happen. If it hadn’t happened within the last decade it was basically never going to. They both moved on with different people and seem happy in their respective relationships.
