Avril Lavigne surprised country fans at CMA Fest 2023.
The Canadian pop punk princess joined Miranda Lambert onstage during her set and the duo performed not one, but two songs together.
“I’m out here to make more bada*s moments happen right now,” Lambert, 39, told the crowd at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium Friday night. “Will y’all welcome my new bestie, Ms. Avril Lavigne to the stage?”

The punk rock star, 38, then made her grande entrance, joining Lambert, whom she matched in black leather and pink fringe.

Lambert — who also brought out Leon Bridges to perform their new duet, “If You Were Mine”, live for the first time — wasn’t the only artist to surprise festival goers during the four-day event, which kicked off on June 8.
