We all know Taylor Swift isn’t just one of music’s biggest stars — she’s also AMAZING on social media. Whether it’s her epic Instagrams… …or just KILLING it on Twitter, Taylor is amazeballs online. Taylor also is known for treating her fans incredibly well. Like, she is the BEST to them. instagram.com So it probably should come as no surprise that Taylor apparently liked this Tumblr post comparing interactions between her to other singers and how they interact with their respective fans. But then…things got a little bit COMPLICATED. One of the singers in the Tumblr post, Avril Lavigne, took to Twitter to express her frustration with the comparison. That being said, Avril DOES have a bit of a reputation for awkward meet-and-greets... And she followed up her initial tweet with a message to “stay positive” along with these AWESOME shots with fans. Well said, Avril! Now maybe you two ladies can kiss and make up and collab? (With pictures. Source: www.buzzfeed.com/samstryker/avril-lavigne-just-called-out-taylor-swift-on-twitter)

And I don't think Avril called Taylor out, nor do I think Taylor's done anything wrong. It does look a little bitchy towards the other artists but people will see what they want to see and cause drama. I thought what Avril said was very mature and well said, without stirring anything.

This article is overall negative towards Avril Lavigne.
The sentence 'Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?' makes it clear

This article is overall negative toward Avril Lavigne. 'Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?' makes it clear I didn't read it as being that negative towards Avril, it did say both 'AWESOME' shots and 'Well said' so they didn't seem to be putting her down, they just clearly love Taylor.

Yeah, I agree. This staff's incredible love for Taylor makes me sick somehow.
Did he really have to add these lines?

I love how they say Avril has a reputation for "Awkward meet and greets" when really this is probably the only Album era we've seen those pictures that seem "awkward" to everyone else lol. There was obviously a reason why there was no physical contact with her that day but they can't sit there and say that she has awkward meet and greets when if you look throughout the rest of her career it's not the case at all; IMO it shows how out of touch everyone is with her.

Tbf I never expect a lot from Buzzfeed articles, perhaps they thought it was original and witty.

@falltopieces "why you have to go and make things so complicated" is what everyone is saying when Avril is mentioned in articles.. it's just a sense of humor from he who wrote it.
I think this article was quite funny. Because it took the "drama" that fans made and showed at the bottom the drama never excited.

I know that, but that sentence obviously gives the readers a wrong impression.

Nah it could go both ways, imo But ending the article with "the should collab" is kinda clearing the case. If you hate an artist you don't want them to be featured with your fav.. or?

Obviously not a hater, but more like a Swift stan, relatively indifferent to Avril. Added a couple of compliments to Avril to avoid hate - the media is currently very positive towards Avril about this issue.

I agree that this was the only incident where the M&G was awkward like that and there was a reason behind it, but I wonder if should it happen again in the future they should just skip the M&G altogether. Why make fans pay so much money if they can't even stand next to her, shake her hand, etc.? From what fans said about that particular M&G it sounded horrible and they treated fans like they were criminals. TomX said somebody tossed his letter to Avril aside like it was a piece of trash. Ridiculous. I get the reason behind it but if it is going to be that strict, don't make fans pay $400 or whatever ridiculous amount it was for them to be treated like that and just have this awkward experience. Especially when other countries got better, REAL meet and greets. In this case, no meet and greet at all is probably better than a crappy one like that. And all it did was cause drama for Avril because now she has to have this held over her head forever.
