The mall tour that she did before UMS was released was "secret" in the way that the dates were announced ahead of time but the mall itself was only confirmed 24 hours (or maybe 48) beforehand. That had its own site (i cant remember what it was) and then when she went to the UK they made seekingavril and there were announcements of a few UK exclusive events (the Barfly show etc), and specific UK promo information. the site kept going for a little while through the release of UMS.

okay people are acting like Avril is 70 and doesn't know how to turn on her phone lol. having a social media presence has been culturally important for more than half of her career, just because it wasn't so crucial during her peak doesn't mean that she should be blind to it.

major eyeroll at the "suppose" but i don't think anything shady is happening here, it sounds as though she's probably signed with a customized deal- i.e., a label will handle physical release, someone else will handle promo, someone else will handle tour etc. It's less common but i guess it guarantees more financial/artistic control.

I’m not too big on MFP as an album title, but I don’t mind too much if the album is good and the title is fitting. Since the album’s likely delayed though, I wouldn’t be too surprised if she changes the title anyways. It’s not like she hasn’t changed album titles before, as Let Go was originally supposed to be Anything but Ordinary. How about this: “Formally Known as MFP.” Or maybe she's going to eventually promote herself to MFQ

i just want to remind everyone that avril waiting to release until after Willow's release is just a theory!

Love Revolution (Lenny Kravitz, with other artists) but maybe that doesn't count to what you're doing because it wasn't released

maybe you should make a thread about Chrissy Teigen's ongoing cyber turmoil in the off-topic forum!

This may sound surprising but I don’t really blame Avril that much in this instance. She didn’t grow up using social media or start using it as part of her career until a lot later. It’s not necessarily her job to know how to use it even if a lot of artists are savvy enough to know how. If she wasn’t capable of handling a decent promo schedule on her own, her team should have stepped in and managed it for her. So in this instance, yeah it’s terribly done, but I put the blame more on her team than her. I think Avril knows how to use social media but not for promoting her own stuff, just for fun bits of her life. She needs a better social team. I think it's generous of you to say that, but at this point it is part of her job to at least maintain some sort of social media aspect to her promotion. Her boyfriend is ALL over it and she surely must see/hear about other artists using it in that way. Every job has upgrades/things to learn as time and technology progresses. Using an excuse that she didn't use it as part of her career when she was younger is like saying it makes sense for an Uber/taxi driver to pull over and pull out a map every time instead of using GPS.

i would be willing to bet a lot of money that avril doesn't know when the official first day of summer is off the top of her head, she's just citing the general summer time.

it still frustrates me to this day that she performed I Can Do Better on SNL. It was maybe still before they had locked down a decision of what the second single was going to be, but to just do vague album promo by performing a non-single on (what was then) the biggest show on TV seems like such a waste.

Avril remembers how her most successful albums were rolled out; with lots of time and in between announcements and lead singles and releases and doesn't seem to realize that she has to adapt to the times.
Side note: I think we need to make a bandaids contract for all of us to sign that says when the album's final tracklist comes out we won't ever talk about the other songs that we saw on the list. We don't need another Gone/Fine/Complete Me/Candy/Hello/Not Gonna Run situation haha

i mean boyfriends aside, avril's active social circle appears to completely be reborn every few years or so, from what we are able to see from the outside. There's nothing wrong with that, but there are people like that who prefer to flit from group to group and not look back!

Avril needs to STOP using seasons as release gauges.
