I'm not surprised but it does kinda suck that Avril isn't nominated for a Grammy I'm not surprised either but! Since she's doing so good with her tour and people all over the world clearly love her I found it a bit odd.

Just because her tour is doing well doesn’t mean she’d get nominated for a Grammy. They don’t have anything to do with each other. They only nominate a handful of albums for Best Pop Album and HAW, while a decent album from her and better than her last couple efforts, I don’t think was good enough to be nominated. Especially since it didn’t really have any hits or that much chart success. And it’s not like she’s eligible in the other categories if she had no hits this year. So what exactly would/should she be nominated for?
If anything, I find it kind of strange she was invited to perform at the Grammy Museum this year considering she hasn’t been nominated since her first album, never won, and wasn’t nominated again this year.

She also attended the red carpet pre party interview sessions this year at the Grammys. Remember? Where she first met Zach Sang... But she did not attend the Grammy awards the next night. There are some mixed signals going on between them.

Never thought about it that way but when I read it like that you’re obviously right. To me the album is everything so sometimes I forget the rest lol xD

The lovey dovey section of HAW seems so wasteful now. I wonder if this means less love songs next album. I like that she's happy but rather get life is good songs than more of lovey dovey avril. And no more of the half this half that albums that tend to be sad this ended and now I'm in love again. This is the thing that puzzles me the most with these expressions of affection from artists to casual people alike - I can't understand how you can just go around declaring some kind of "once in a lifetime soulmate" situation with a person you apparently know so poorly that you end up splitting over differences within a year or two. Maybe there's something 'wrong' with me, or maybe I'm just too movie-level 'idealistic', but I always cringed how some kids were declaring their soulmates every 4 months in highschool, and it isn't really any different among celebrities, everybody declaring finding the shining beacon, the emerald of the world, the other piece of the puzzle, the trailer hitch to the ballmount, - within weeks or months, only to split over incompatibility not long after. And they keep repeating it too, its like groundhog day! And with musicians such as Avril, you end up with some love letter songs that appear so pointless with such a context.

First, I want to say that I am so going to use "emerald of the world" as my next username.
Second, this is exactly what I mean. Now that it's over, songs like Goddess and Love Me Insane feel even more unnecessary. I understand that HAW is a personal album. She wanted to show her love for this man that came to her life after the hardest time in her life. But now I'm like, was this really necessary? A huge chunk of the lower end of the album was dedicated towards her now extinct romance. I wish she would have left off Goddess and made that song about herself rather than a man who liked her in her pajamas and is now out of her life. I'm fine with Crush because it's more about vulnerability and learning to be loved again. Souvenir as cliche as it is it has a story. And Bigger Wow has always been about living life than love to me.

I don't see anything wrong with her writing love songs about someone she may not be with forever. That's life, that's what most artists write about, what most artists' songs are about. Taylor Swift built a whole career on writing songs about her exes lol
You could really apply this to any of Avril's albums, all the love and breakup songs she's ever written were obviously about guys she isn't with anymore. It doesn't mean they didn't mean something to her at that time in her life.

Honestly, the only thing I find interesting is that she changed the Phillip tattoo to say Mom instead when she's never changed the other tattoos she has for other people. She still has matching ones with Chad, Deryck's initial and, as far as I know, Brody's name.

She was married to Chad and Deryck though. That’s different.

QUESTION:
Since some of you are living in the USA. I wanted to buy 2 merch items in her official webstore. You can have a code with the 'BLACKFRIDAY' deal but it says also this:
20% OFF STOREWIDE USING CODE BLACKFRIDAY AT CHECKOUT. FREE DOMESTIC STANDARD SHIPPING THROUGH CYBER MONDAY.
Does that mean I can buy the things I want with the 20% code on monday and free shipping??? I'm confused and wanted to buy some things but the shipping costs are insane without the free shipping....

If you notice the discount wasn't counted before you pay then cancel it. I wish the cropped hoodie wasn't cropped or at least not on the elbows. I think think it's the only merch that looks decent.

It only had discount on the tie. 8 dollar discount. I did it eventually. A little Christmas present for myself
