I might be talking absolute rubbish but Evan doesn’t seem like a public speaking kinda guy either lol quite the opposite actually, he's very extroverted (tho shy around avril lol) and very open and articulate when he speaks, never saw him being awkward or intimdated by the camera. He had the attitude of a down to earth influencer. He would've made the best speech for avril... 😭

Evan interview her for the Roxy show that was televised on television. He seemed reserved. They remind me of each other. Maybe he's like her in that in the right circumstances he opens up.

It’s probably because John Feldmann and MGK are bigger/more known names than either Evan or Lauren. And they were part of her current music while she hadn’t worked with Evan in years and Lauren was the album prior. It sort of makes sense she wanted to include the people who were part of her most current album, maybe she didn’t even choose who to give speeches, maybe they offered. It’d be a bit weird if she had to ask people to make speeches on her behalf, so maybe they just volunteered. I get it, but Avril didn’t get a star on the walk of fame because of her current music. It would've been more special, in my opinion, if she had gotten someone that was actually relevant in her journey/legacy. Not to mention that they probably had more interesting things to say/stories to tell. And I'm saying this as someone that actually really enjoyed MGK's speech. Also taking into consideration people like Lauren and Evan were there, I felt weirdly kinda sad at the time that she was taking all these photos with the crew from MGK's tour and not with them.

I never really liked the idea of MGK doing the speach for her at the ceremony. I get SO many bad vibes from him as well. On the other hand I was just happy that Mod didnt do it. Lauren would have been the obvious choice but there are many understandable reasons that it took place the way it was. Evan would have been such a fan moment, would have loved this so much. And Feldman is alright with me.
For AL8 I don't have any real idea what she may come up with. I mean there have been hints, sure, but shes so much into her MFP and Pop punk Image right now that I cant imagine she drops that for the next album. Maybe she can merge poppunk with country.

I wouldn't mind a country album. In general, I would like pop rock like LG, but grown up. Her image screams that she is a Rock chick and that she will change this in the near future, I don’t believe it. And if she wants pop punk again, then ok, but do a different production. I know there are so many pop punk albums that sound different.

Unfortunately, I have zero expectations for a "mature" or "grown-up" album from her. It's not that I don't like the idea - I would really LOVE it - but she hasn't shown any signs of going in that direction. Maybe I’ve just come to accept that her style at these current days is more about playful and unpretentious songs.
And it's not like she can't deliver joyful songs in a quality way. Carly Rae Jepsen, Charli XCX, and some other artists have been doing it forever and receiving acclaim. If Avril isn't changing, or going back to HAC style, as long as she delivers something good enough, I'm down for it. Many artists have proven that you don't need to be serious all the time to create great songs, so I don't mind if she follows this path.
I also don't think the country album is coming anytime soon. My bet is she will stick with pop rock again, but I just hope it's not just LS 2.0.
Pop rock doesn't necessarily need to be pop-punk, btw.

Yeah, I get that and I also feel that things aren't going to change. Especially with her surge in popularity. I expect her to follow the 2.0 formula and give us more bratty Avril. However, nostalgia doesn't last forever and one song reminiscent of old times is cool but that doesn't mean she has to replicate old eras. As a fan, I really want to see the next phase in her discography. I don't care what genre.

Who knows how she's gonna be feeling after the tour ends. It's not going to be the same album she was working on, that's for sure.

It's strange because now we have a lot of content from the shows and some new aesthetics, but it doesn't feel like a true new era due to the lack of new material.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we get another fast paced, upbeat pop/rock or pop punk album again, but maybe not as bratty as LS or not a breakup-themed album. But then again those are the kinds of songs she likes writing best because they come easily to her, even if she’s in a happy relationship. I have the feeling she’s not ready to let go of the pop punk/LS sound and image just yet. But perhaps she’ll get a new group of collaborators together, obviously no Mod Sun this time. So with Feldy still producing but adding in Yungblud and some of the others she’s been working with lately. LS 2.0 but slightly different topics and different team? Back to the pink instead of orange?

I think love songs again because she loves love and she's getting some love. Have we ever had a truly happy album from her? 🤔

I don't think so actually lol LG and UMS were both teen angst albums with some love songs sprinkled throughout but they were mainly breakup songs. TBDT was largely (fictional) breakup songs, and GL was obviously about her divorce. AL was a mixture, some love songs but also her usual. HAW contained some love songs but of course there were also songs about Lyme and Rotem. LS is self explanatory. So no she has never made a Lover type happy love album before lol

She’s also seen working with that Canadian female songwriter who has collaborated with Royal & the Serpent, 5SOS, Carly Rae Jepsen, Poppy, Demi Lovato, and other artists with an Avril vibe. I’m curious to see what they’ve come up with together. I’m also wondering about an Avril x Dan Nigro collaboration. He’s currently working with artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan. There is a risk that she could end up being cringe, like Liz Phair working with The Matrix at 40 and trying to emulate the young Avril. But who knows... Dan Nigro also worked with respectable Caroline Polachek, so I’m sure he can bring out more age-appropriate themes as well.
The fact is, playful pop songs are trending again thanks to Olivia, Chappell, Charli, and so many others.
Avril seems like the type of artist who would be totally up for it, so I’d expect a more upbeat and unserious album next. My only hope is that it’s as good and cohesive as Love Sux and doesn’t end up feeling like a B-side album. But she’s never done that in her career, so maybe there’s no need to worry about it in the end.

Although I don't believe a new album is coming anytime soon, I was wondering if this gap between the end of the European leg (July 13) and the beginning of the next North American leg (August 12) would be the perfect time to release a new single... The hype is here, and it's gonna be wasted. It's such a pity.
Even if it's just for a GH deluxe (featuring 1, new song, 2, Hot, 3, WYWH, 4, Alice, 5, HK: totalling 25 songs on the collection).
Btw this is just me fanfictioning, no way it's happening! 🤣
