Her hit songs skated into our hearts and helped define 2000s pop music.
Now, 19 years on from her hit single 'Sk8er Boi', Avril Lavinge has made her TikTok debut with none other than professional skateboarder Tony Hawk.
In the video, the 36-year-old (yes, she's 36) lip syncs the lyrics that we all know way too well, before it cuts to a clip of Hawk skating.
And we must point out the obvious here. She LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.
A serious health battle.
In 2014, Lavigne contracted Lyme Disease from a tick bite, which saw her bedridden for five months.
"I could barely eat, and when we went to the pool, I had to leave and go lie in bed," she told People in 2015.
"My friends asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ I didn’t know."
"I had no idea a bug bite could do this" she said, explaining that it was the 'wake-up call' she needed.
"I really just want to enjoy life from here on out."
The singer later took a step back from the public eye to focus on her heath.
In 2018, she returned to the spotlight and released a song titled 'Head Above Water', which detailed her debilitating struggle with the chronic illness.
In a statement shared with People, she explained how she wrote the song from bed during one of the “scariest moments” of her life.
"One night, I thought I was dying, and I had accepted that I was going to die,” she wrote.
"My mum laid with me in bed and held me. I felt like I was drowning.
"Under my breath, I prayed, ‘God, please help to keep my head above the water.’ In that moment, the songwriting of this album began," she added.
"It was like I tapped into something. It was a very spiritual experience. Lyrics flooded through me from that point on."
Lavigne has since launched the Avril Lavigne Foundation to help provide treatment to those affected by the disease.
She also recently supported Justin Bieber when he shared that he too had Lyme Disease.

A wild conspiracy theory.
While Lavigne was out taking a break from the spotlight, the singer found herself at the centre of a very bizarre conspiracy theory. One which claimed she died in 2003 and replaced by a lookalike actress called 'Melissa'.
Strange stuff.
The conspiracy theory began on a Brazilian Avril Lavigne fan page and theorised that she died after she started her second album.
The theory was later debunked as a morbid joke, including by Lavigne herself.
"It's just a dumb internet rumour and [I’m] flabbergasted that people bought into it. Isn’t that so weird?" she told EW in 2019.
"It’s so dumb. And I look the exact same. On one hand, everyone is like, 'Oh my god, you look the same,' and on the other hand people are like 'Oh my god, she died'."
However, to this day, some people are still convinced that Avril is really Melissa.
Her music career today.
Lavigne might not be quite as popular as she was in her heyday, but she is still enjoying success in the music industry.
As well as collaborating with Mod Sun, the 36-year-old has been busy working on her new album, which will see a return to her pop punk roots when it drops this year.
Lavigne confirmed the news while responding to a fan on Instagram, who asked her when she was releasing her seventh album.
"It’s done! Music coming soon. For sure summer," she replied.
