Lavigne brought along a picture of herself from that trip wearing the same hoodie she was wearing during the ceremony. "I mean to get a star today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is an absolute dream come true, I cant believe it. I visited L.A., Hollywood, for the first time when I was 16, and this is me here photographed on that trip.
I was wearing this hoodie, which was my favorite hoodie in high school," she said. "Never in a million years did I think I would have a star, and I feel very blessed and grateful and I’m happy to be making music still today." Avril Lavigne got her start when she was 16 and had dropped out of high school to pursue her music career.
