On Saturday afternoon, the “Hello Kitty” singer took to Instagram to thank her followers for more than twenty years of support.
“Today marks 20 years since I released my album ‘Let Go’,” she began. “I will never be able to fully explain not only how much this album meant to me, but the monumental impact it has had on my life.”
“It’s hard to try and comprehend how, 20 years later, the songs I wrote as a 17 year old would still resonate with people today,” she continued. “It’s pretty crazy. It put me on a path and took me places I never in my wildest dreams could have ever expected and I am thankful for it every single day.”

“None of this would have been possible without the help and guidance of LA Reid, Lauren Christy, The Matrix, Cliff Magness, Curt Frasca, and Sabelle Beer,” she went on. “I will always be grateful to you guys for letting me be myself. Also a massive thank you to everyone who played a role, big or small, in helping make this record the success that it was.”
“Last but certainly not least, thank YOU, to every single one of you who made a connection with this album and stayed with me since. I say every night on stage how lucky I feel to be making music, touring and having as much fun as I do,” she continued. “I share this moment with all of you, because without you guys, these songs wouldn’t have reached the heights that they did. A genuine, heartfelt thank you to anyone that ever listened to my music and stuck around.”

“Holy f---! Complicated was released 20 years ago today,” Avril told her 10.6M Instagram followers back in March. “This song holds such a special place in my heart. It was my first single off my first album. The song that started it all for me.”
“F---ing neckties…black eyeliner…tank tops…fat sk8 shoes…Dickies!!! This was the first music video I ever shot…My first time hearing myself in the radio…” she continued. “4-ever grateful to my co-writers Lauren Christy and The Matrix. They were the first team to really get me and understand my sound and vision.”
“4-ever thankful to LA Reid for discovering me and giving me my creative freedom,” she added. “I could have never imagined the places this song would take me and the amazing fanbase it created. I am so grateful to you guys always and 4-ever for embracing my music and showing me so much love then, and still now, 20 years later.”
Fans cheered on the anniversary and her most recently released album, “Love Sux.”
Only five days before the 20-year anniversary of her first-ever music video, Avril released her new music video for “Love It When You Hate Me” featuring blackbear. The song is off her latest “Love Sux” album released through DTA Records with Travis Barker.
As many fans know, Travis Barker recently got married to Kourtney Kardashian, and, in April, Avril became engaged to Mod Sun.
