Over the weekend, Olivia Rodrigo performed at Toronto’s Massey Hall where she brought Avril Lavigne on stage to perform “Complicated.”
While out on her “Sour World Tour,” Olivia Rodrigo has been paying tribute to Lavigne with a cover of her 2002 hit, “Complicated,” every show. While in Toronto, Lavigne came out on stage to perform the track as a duet. Both Lavigne and Rodrigo donned plaid miniskirts and platform Dr. Martens for the cover.
Before bringing her out on stage, Olivia Rodrigo called Lavigne someone “who broke down so many barriers, and opened so many doors for girls like me. I can’t sing her praises enough. She’s from Canada, and I’m so, so, so lucky because she came here tonight to sing with me.”
