Avril says the reason her lyrics resonate so much is because they’re relatable. “It’s always been important for me to write and be real,” she tells us.
“I’m writing about stuff that I went through in high school, like having a crush on a guy for the first time, experiencing love and what that feels like.”
She joined the line-up in a record-breaking year for Glastonbury Festival, as it featured two female headliners for the first time.
Shania Twain also appeared in the legends slot – someone Avril actually performed with after winning a competition in 1998.
She would go on to get a record deal after this appearance.
“I looked up to [Shania] growing up – I sang on stage with her when I was 14 years old, so be here tonight, that personally means a lot”.
If there’s one thing to take from Sunday at Glastonbury, it would have been great to see Avril joining Shania Twain as a Pyramid stage performer.
Although Avril says she is “just a girl from a small town in Canada,” her fans certainly don’t see her that way.
