Is this a fever dream???
Our favourite punk princess Avril Lavigne decided to dial the hands of time waaaay back to like, 2002, and with American skateboarder Tony Hawk to boot!

This also marks Lavigne’s first-ever TikTok video — talk about a debut!

The short music video sees Lavigne in her famous, tank-top and tie combo paired up with baggy pants that she made famous about 20 years ago, not holding back on the nostalgia. She also has her signature black-painted nails! And the song she was lip-syncing to in the background? None other than her vintage hit, “Sk8er Boi”!

The camera zooms in on her and pans back out to reveal — you guessed it — the man Hawk himself, as he skates down a half-pipe on a cool, pink skateboard. Hawk also has a tie knotted loosely around his neck over his T-shirt, obviously taking notes from Lavigne’s style memo.
TikTok users are losing their minds in the comments section, with one user saying,
“What in 2003 is this???”
Another user said,
“This is the collab we all wanted in middle school.”
Even Steve Aoki, an American DJ, couldn’t resist joining in the hype and leaving a comment:
“Everything about this video is perfect.”
If you would like to take a stroll down memory lane, check out the original music video for the song (from two decades) ago below!
