Maybe that's why we are getting a GHT? She's bidding farewell to the rock stuff and saying hello to country? That may be a reason for it yeah?! And also, she won't be able to play all of her hits much much longer without seeming a little bit old for it. Not judging age or anything... but if you really think about it you have to acknowledge that fact? Maybe medleys or so rather. Not saying rock/punk or lyrics but the combination of those in some of her songs do suit a younger woman.

the flyer says featuring Avril Lavigne. AT MOST this is a feature on a country song released by Nate Smith.

She's done appearances at these country events for years now and they never mean anything. Why are people theorizing she's going country? lmao.
There's absolutely nothing that suggests she'll do a country album. She only has recently said she'd like to do a country collab (which might be this one?), but not a full album.

Yeah but this might be more than an just an apearance it seems. Also that story I mention felt like it meant something.

I mean, if she had said “performing my new single at the ACM” then I think it would mean something, but she’s just saying she’ll perform alongside her friend. Probably will help him to boost his career being seen with her.

I don’t expect AL8 to be a country album but I also don’t think she’s appearing at all these country award shows just for fun - she barely attends award shows for her own genre lol. Seems like she’s testing the waters a little, whether that be for some collabs or a country leaning era from her in the future.
With all due respect to Avril, Nate Smith has been opening for Morgan Wallen recently. He doesn’t need Avril to get his name out there in that genre. Avril getting pally with that group if she’s interested in doing some country would be a very good move however.

She's not leaving rock behind. She's playing rock festivals this summer. What is with the paranoia around the GH tour changing things? It's not a Vegas residency where touring and chances of new music happening are a lot more slim.
Country artists often perform new unreleased songs but not at award shows. She would have said there was a new song. He just released an EP. I hope they perform EDIT: wrong song it's rather be lonely, it has like a rock breakdown– very toned down, don't get excited. Funny thing is I watched his Stagecoach performance hoping he'd bring out Avril a few weeks ago then this happens. I clowned on the wrong week but I clowned right lol

Hey if she does country rock maybe that would be cool I’d be so down for that. Maybe something to mature a bit more but fans will like. Can work super well

It’s too much of a coincidence of all the country artists that she has recently followed on Instagram. Plus the times she has attended and performed at country related events. I reckon after the greatest hits tour she will start the new era which will be a bit country influenced.

I'll have to disagree with some of you. Avril has been hinting at making a country album for an entire decade. How is it that there's no indication she'd pursue it when she explicitly mentioned it? Additionally, she has participated in several country awards in recent years, performed at country events/festivals, and appeared in the Shania Twain documentary. Now she's probably doing a country feature... No indication? Really? Also, all of this has been unfolding since HAW (which is... over 5 years now?). It's evident that she's aware of how challenging the country music scene can be for outsiders, and perhaps she's simply laying the groundwork for a country album in the future.
However, I also don't think she intends to fully transition into country for the rest of her career. Perhaps she just wants to explore and experiment, which is perfectly fine.
At this point of her career, I'd say it's necessary to reinvent herself instead of just recycle over and over again... I'm down to a country album or single if it's good.

I don't think she's ready to transition to country right now and not for AL8 but I definitely don't think all these appearances at country shows/concerts or making connections with country artists is all a coincidence. I think it's a genre she has probably thought about experimenting with for a while and is, as some people put it, dipping her toe in or testing the waters. It wasn't just the Shania tribute, she also sang with Miranda Lambert and expressed she'd love to do a collab with her. Then there's Nate Smith that she's been hanging out with recently and wasn't there some other country dude she was recently seen with? I don't think Avril will ever totally leave pop/rock, but we know country music is her roots. Maybe she wants to experiment a bit or try something new.

Country rock is not that far from her own sound when she goes pop rock, so I really believe the country album will happen sometime in the future, but of course, it's going to be an Avril Lavigne type of country with a little bit of twang. I wouldn't worry about her going all in yeehaw type of country...

Avril is much more of a worldwide artist. Most of her fans are from Europe, Asia, Latin America... I don't think she'd release a roots country album focused solely on the US - Canada audience. I'm pretty sure it would lean towards pop-country or rock-country, making it more accessible to her global audience who may not be familiar with the genre. Perhaps something resembling Taylor Swift's earlier sound or more like a Shania Twain style. Maybe something in the middle of both would be interesting.
