Miranda Lambert and Avril Lavigne come from completely different genres, but that didn’t stop them from setting the CMA Fest stage on fire. The duo performed an electrifying cover of Lavigne’s smash hit”Sk8ter Boi” during Lambert’s set at the popular country festival.
Lambert’s performance at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium was full of surprises, and the biggest shocker came when she brought Lavigne up on stage. She addressed the audience by saying, “I’m out here to make more bada– moments happen right now. Will y’all welcome my new bestie, Ms. Avril Lavigne to the stage?”, before the Canadian singer hit the stage.
The duo performed two songs by each other’s side: Lambert’s country rock single “Kerosene” and Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi”. The audience welcomed the transition between the two songs with cheers and sang along to one of Lavigne’s career-defining hits.
Lambert’s concert features several more surprise guests, including Elle King, who joined her to perform their hit duet “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” and Leon Bridges, who recently collaborated with Lambert on the new song “If You Were Mine”.
Lambert’s last studio album Palomino came out last year, and she’s been pretty busy since its release. Back in March, the country legend announced she was parting ways with her label Sony Music Nashville after almost two decades and she’s been busy performing and working on new music in the meantime.
