It’s a very big day for Avril Lavigne!

Ellise Shafer Avril Lavigne, the princess of pop-punk, was crowned with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday. Timed to the 20th anniversary of her debut album “Let Go,” the ceremony was a full-circle moment for Lavigne, who told Variety in an interview that she had visited the famed boulevard on her first trip to Los Angeles at 16 years old. Lavigne recalled that first star encounter during her speech, unveiling a photo of her younger self next to what appears to be Tom Cruise’s star (the photo promptly fell off its stand once she removed its covering, leading to laughs from the crowd). “So, I’m 16 years old and I’m on my first trip to Hollywood, and of course, I had to visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame because it’s iconic,” Lavigne said. In the photo, she’s wearing a navy sweatshirt displaying the on-brand words “skateboarding is not a crime,” and in a tender moment of nostalgia, Lavigne changed into the sweatshirt right then and there.

Ellise Shafer Avril Lavigne’sfirst time visiting the Hollywood Walk of Fame coincided with a major moment in her life. It was 2001, and the then-16-year-old had traveled to Los Angeles to work on what would become her seven-times platinum debut album, “Let Go.” She was staying at the Roosevelt Hotel, which is on the famed boulevard, and ventured out to take a stroll amongst the stars. “It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for me because this is where I made my album,” Lavigne tells Variety in advance receiving her own star on the Walk of Fame on Aug. 31. “My first time coming to L.A., that’s what I did. I walked down the strip and checked out stars. I took a picture, and I can’t remember [which star] it’s with, but I’m wearing a sweatshirt that says ‘skateboarding is not a crime.’”
