Teleprompters are actually quite common. Adele uses too. I remember she received some backlash from fans because of it, but it for no reason. They're not only used to remember the lyrics, but also for synchronization. For example, when an artist interacts with the crowd in the middle of a song, they need to know which part to sing to stay in sync with the band or to help concentrate, etc. Most musicians are using it.

To be honest, I would use it too hahaha during a concert a lot is going on, so it's a good way to avoid mistakes if you are in doubt. It's like a double check if it's needed.

Side note: why does she have a teleprompter on stage? In Erik’s video you can see it when Avril comes up to him and the lyrics of Sk8er Boi are on it. I don’t know if she just uses it as a safety to keep her place in the song, or she genuinely doesn’t remember lyrics of songs she has been playing for 20 years? I can’t seriously think she has it because she doesn’t know the lyrics. We’ve seen her get onstage with artists to sing their songs (Miranda Lambert performance, Bulletproof with Nate) and she didn’t appear to have a teleprompter there. And those are songs that it’s understandable if she doesn’t know the words as much. It‘s completely normal nowadays to have a teleprompter. Beyoncé for example has huge screens with the lyrics and P!nk also uses a normal teleprompter on stage. She definitely knows the lyrics to her own songs, but sometimes she gets distracted or starts wrong and then the teleprompter helps her to get back on track. For example in Barcelona she started to sing Smile too early, she realized, kept going, repeated the first part but then had a look at the teleprompter to get back into it. The only times I really saw her using the teleprompter was for the covers.. Simple Plan at Hurricane and Manchester (while I was on stage) and Blink 182. Another reason why she should retire the covers and sing her own songs haha Hahaha as a Blink, Sum41 or Simple Plan fan I think its fun to listen covers from others, and I really enjoyed All the Small things 😄 Simple Plan sang Sk8ter boi in their last concert in Barcelona and people went crazy. It's fun

So happy for you! Must've been such a special moment. I know the Spanish girl as well, met her last year at the London shows. She was super looking forward to going up on stage back in London, she even had her own banner, but only her friends were called in the end. So I'm super happy she was able to finally have her moment with her. And I think this time around it's even cooler since it's a bigger crowd and she gave away signed skate decks! I'm going to the Buffalo and Toronto shows, excited to be there

I'm wondering if she'll do stand-alone concerts or festivals in other continents. Latin American hosts Festivals during their spring time. Rock in Rio, Corona, Primavera Sound (this one happens in different countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile) will all take place after the North American leg.
But she hasn't been announced to for RIR or Corona (yet) and they already announced some performing acts. No idea about her next step.
Maybe Asia / Australia?

Now that they know how successful the tour really is, she should drop a deluxe version of the GH (digital only, maybe?) with new material on it

I think the reason behind her not releasing any new songs is because it’s all under DTA records, and as this is being handled by Legacy/Sony, she may not be able to put new songs other than already released ones. Maybe she wanted the GH album to be under DTA, but because most of her catalogue belongs to Sony, it was not possible. That’s my guess.

I think she's focusing on her legacy strategically, and due to the success of the tour, she'll keep going as she clearly has more strategies up her sleeve that were on the works even before the tour... like the documentary, the Sk8er Boi movie, etc. One or two years ago, she mentioned recontacting her 'movie agent,' and now she's investing more in audiovisual projects, like joining the Deadpool soundtrack to strengthen her catalog. I think only after all this, she'll release new material. My guess is she's attempting a "rebrand" that isn't really a rebrand but rather a repositioning in the market after a series of flops for an artist of her size, relevance and influence among the new generation.
Regarding the GH, I think it would be easier to add a new song than to add four DTA (that's under Warner) songs to a Sony album, and she did it. I think she may just be building anticipation for a completely new release while focusing on her legacy... and also that she finally noticed that being completely absent is a useless strategy nowadays.

I think it's safe to say the European leg of the tour was a big success. She got lots of great reviews, really showed up for Glastonbury and even put in some surprises like the orchestra
