In a recent interview with Billboard, Avril Lavigne talks pop-punks dominance and where the genre's icons go from here! In the interview she reveals that Hayley Williams wrote here a letter after they both performed at the 'When We Were Young' Festival in Las Vegas this past October. Avril says:
Afterward, Hayley Williams from Paramore wrote me a really kind letter, saying some really nice things and thanking me for paving the way for young women like her. That was so cool to read. And for anyone looking to join the pop-punk world in the future, I’d say to you, “Welcome to the scene. It’s a wild ride.”
