I feel like the author was just rambling on about nothing for the most part.

I honestly relate to her in the sense that she has this deadpan talking voice and is generally shy. But at the same time, she’s batshit crazy fun and unstoppable. None of that is related to being a mature adult. if she couldn’t be a mature adult when she needed to be, I’m sure she wouldn’t be able to run the 2 businesses she owns and basically be a boss 💁♀️ but deep down we all know how crazy and fun she is. I don't know whether she's truly capable of being traditionally mature, but lets be clear about her businesses - she was her parents' "project", she had the incredible luck to be one of the more talented people who actually get their big break, and she got it from the big man of the industry - LA Reid. From there, big money, connections and talent led her by the hand into fame and consequential wealth. Abbey Dawn and the perfumes were a creative spin-off of hers, but such things are much easier to do when you've got an absolutely massive fortune, known name and business connections to make it all work. At the end, she isn't a Paris Hilton free coaster, but neither is she the Chinese immigrant down the street who built his little shop on sweat and tears. Yeah. I probably misread the part about “songs about partying”. Excuse me, I’m always on the go! But I swear I saw something along those lines, implying HAW had a different tone to the rest of the album. Maybe it was a daydream.mp3 Other things I wanted to point out are how she basically said she was “forced” to promote Fly and... well, the part about Chad’s penis size. LMAO. Her thoughts on marriage and divorce... her “what’s the point?” Seemed deep even if she’s probably only referring to monogamy. I also love that she paints! Oh my god, I love her even more now. Painting is my next artistic ambition (I started like 2 or 3 years ago). I really want to see her art. I’ve been curious since she mentioned it before. I think she is talking about marriage, can't see how she would imply support for polygamy in that sentence of hers.

Thoughts guys? Don't wanna jump in on a collab or anything but I'm starting to think that cover pic is partly a nod to Taylor in Look What You Made Me Do

I just have to rant some more about this article's writing style. Feel free to completely ignore this post. I just have to get this out of my system. That article so messy! There's no structure there at all. They go from August 2018, when the interview took place, to 2015 to 2002 back to August 2018, then 2016, then 2018 again, then 2014. It's all so confusing. One moment the article describes what Avril is wearing, next sentence they talk about Shania Twain, then suddenly about Chaaaaaad. And on their shop it says "Pop-punk's princess, devastated by Lyme disease, nearly abandoned music." But in the article there's only one short sentence about it, squashed between that performance of "Complicated" with Taylor Swift and Avril's "suede couch" and her "apathetic mall drawl, dragged out of her babydoll mouth like a child frog-marched through a museum tour." Later, when the article finally delves more into Lyme and manages to stay on topic for more than two sentences, there's not a single mention of Avril thinking she was done making music. So... wtf? Totally messy. Really hate that writing style. Also, wtf do I care what exact kind of water Avril drinks, especially when I can hardly pronounce it? There are so many words in that article that imo just scream "look at me, I'm a compliacted, rarely used, difficult to pronounce, intelligent word, I'm awesome, look at me!!!" And those metaphors are even worse. Like, wtf?

I see Avril in a whole new light after reading this article. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But there is one thing I know for sure, I am not like my idol at all. Now this is a teaser, tell the tale, tell the tale! Is it the booze? This made me laugh so much for some reason. Like fih said it was mostly how the article was written.
The booze and the tattoos were kind of a turn off. Fuck never mind the booze is ok gotta keep that buzz going. Did not like that Anna Peeple constantly highlighted the drinking though. Avril just seems like such a party girl and kind of reckless. At least in this article she does. Despite all that though, I like her youthful spirit.

And those metaphors are even worse. Like, wtf? The point of them fancy words for drinks was to emphasise Avril's lavish and quite alcohol-centred lifestyle. I find the article quite normal for such magazines, and certainly of higher quality than many local tabloid articles I get to read.

About Shake it off "Her gloriously unapologetic sense of whatever-dude entitlement and jagged pop sound has inspired artists from Swift (see: the Lavigne-esque breakdown of “Shake It Off”)" Yep, i've actually been thinking this for a while. Especially the actual song "The Best Damn Thing" having its similarities to Shake it Off

Wow, I LOVE the photoshoot she looks amazing
Yes, the journalist makes her look like arrogant and still bratty, but it also made me want to hang out at her house while skateboarding all over the house it must be so much fun haha
And again... I LOVE the photoshoot
PS: I guess it's confirmed now that Chad and Avril divorced

Can't believe I'm saying this, but as happy as I am to see her get another Billboard cover and as excited as I still am for this comeback and to hear all the new music, that article was... downright embarrassing to read. They made her seem as painfully unappealing and immature as possible. I know some people will jump on my skull for being so honest, but she couldn't have come across more vapid and pretentious to me while reading this article, and that's all I have to go by -- my most sincere opinion and perception. The fact they made a point to include a comment of her making a joke about dick sizes in between a ~quasi~ serious narration of her battle with Lyme disease was just unbelievably awkward and all the detailed descriptions of her mannerisms and conduct during the interview made her seem very messy and, dare I say, shallow?
I can't imagine a casual listener reading this article and getting a good impression from Avril, and that is a crying shame as I personally believe it is not at all the type of presentation card this era needed or deserved.

What I dont and wont understand is that how the fuck BMG can screw a great opportunity up like this..... They wrote about literally everything EXCEPT THE FUCKING ALBUM! I think her fans would loved to see some song titles here and there, not what she think about Shania or what she is drinking. I could literally cry!!!! This is a music magazine, a way too great opportunity to say something about the upcoming single/release date/theme of the album/lyric/song titles/mood of the album, but NO, we are getting 1000000000000000000000 words how Avril is dressing and what she is drinking, like.... who cares?
Great way to waste a good advertising chanel, again! I seriously cant believe this.

Damn, first we get her giving us a wink in the YouTube vid (after almost shedding a tear) then we get her in the green sweater looking all ready for action and THEN confirming the colab with T-Swizzle (when Tay slipped unto the New York studio during the Rep tour). All in all, a pretty good day.
