Avril Lavigne is a Canadian singer and songwriter.
In My Immortal, she is characterized as a "poser", since Dumblydor wears her merchandise while try to act goff. He also listens to "a sh*tty Avril Lavigne song" on Ebony’s iPod. Curiously, however, Tara cites her as one of the reasons as to why she's "gottik" in Tara Gliesbie is totlly Gottik, claiming to listen to her music, which implies Tara saw her as gothic at some point before changing her mind.
