I didn't get to catch every single word especially in the beginning of her speech but here's the things I loved. - her suit. So punk rock and appropriate for the moment. I'm glad she wore this instead of a dress. It really fit her. - MGK's three days with Avril was sweet. - "can you believe it's been 20 yrs of this shit" - bringing the iconic WOF picture - telling the story - it falling ššš - her putting on the hoodie - thanking her brother - thanking Lauren - I missed in between because I was called away but I catched her thanking Sharifa at the end. - taking pictures on her star with her hoodie - bringing her picture with her star - doing the pose again and with the picture behind her - why does she keep turning her back on the poor WOF lady. I hope they talked after cause if it was me I would be like š does she hate me? Lol I'm sensitive but hopefully she understands it wasn't mean spirited. - the lady saying she's getting a skateboard to stand on it lmao - and they cut it - yeah I forgot her inholywod it's Avril Lavigne day yay - also it is 90 degrees and in Hollywood it is slightly higher so props for wearing the sweater

A few articles about Avril Lavigne earning a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Hollywood Walk of Fame will be unveiled today honoring eight-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne in connection with the 20th Avril Lavigne, on the the 20th anniversary of the release of her first album, āLet Go,ā was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, Aug. 31. Sheās pictured with a photo of her visit to the area as a 16-year-old, 20 years ago. Screenshot from YouTube video

Ahhhhhhhhh this made me so incredibly happy for and proud of Avril!!! I cried when she put on the hoodie. I remember being like 5 and seeing that picture of her on the walk of fame, so itās so surreal to see her have her own star now. š I love how much sheās stayed true to her initial message of being true to yourself, not giving a f***, and never giving up on your dreams. You can really tell how much sheās appreciative of this and of her fans. šš¤
She mentioned TikTok so Iām expecting one soon XD

Not me getting genuinely emotional watching the ceremony! Aaahhh! This is truly the best way to celebrate her 20 years in music, it pretty much confirms her name will live on forever. Her legacy and her cultural impact have been officially immortalized and itās just so special and so rewarding to be able to witness her being so openly celebrated like this. The past 20 years have been full of ups and downs, but she will always be THE artist for me, the one Iāve followed closely since I was a child, the one I get most excited about each time thereās a new release, the one I enjoy cheering on the most. While I was watching the livestream it really hit me just how much this moment speaks close to my heart - how meaningful it really is for me getting to watch her living out her dreams and getting an accomplishment and recognition of this magnitude. Iām so thrilled to see her so happy and surrounded by people who clearly adore her and allow her to be herself. This era has been nothing short of generous to us fans and Iām more than positive that the group of people by her side have had a big influence on that! Say what you will about her friends and collaborators, but Iāve never seen her looking so consistently radiant and excited by everything that sheās doing. Both Feldy and MGKās speeches were beautiful and above all seemed completely authentic and heartfelt. And Avrilās own speech was miles better than what I could have anticipated. She obviously prepared it, but she also allowed herself to just express what she was feeling in the moment and as a result her delivery was actually great and you could tell just how much this moment means to her. So, so proud today! That full circle moment with the photo from when she was 16 years old not knowing what life had in store for her and now being there in the same city wearing the same hoodie and being awarded her very own starā¦ just wow! Thatās literally straight out of a movie! Congrats, Av! Youāve earned it! BTW I cannot wait for that Tiktok and for the official Instagram post! Itās gonna be so epic!

Wow, what an amazing ceremony. When I watched it there was a few times I felt like tearing up and there was a smile plastered over my face the full time. MGK & Feldy gave better speeches than I expected, especially MGK. I think it was good they were off the cuff and more genuine instead of just rehearsed and pre-written speeches. MGKās was so heartfelt and I am so happy that both of them have found a friend in music that they connect with in that way.
Her outfit, hair, and makeup was on point as usual. Lauren has been delivering this era non stop and the suit was perfect, although I canāt help but feel like her VMAs and WoF outfits should have been swapped?
It was great to see Lauren Christy and Ryan Cabrera there. Did someone say Evan was also there? If so this is probably one of the most emotional days for her in music for a long time so I hope she makes the most of her time with everyone and makes even more memories.
Recreating the photo was iconic and I canāt wait to see the TikTok, hopefully weāll see the return of Viral Lavigne with it.

I wonder if Evan met up with her or if he came unannounced just as a member of the crowd, which would be weird considering their long history. I would've loved for him to speak, but now it would be a bit odd given how they've grown apart.
