Avril Lavigne, born 27 September, 1984 (career 2002-Present), is a Canadian pop/rock/pop-punk singer-songwriter, clothes designer, and actress.
She released her debut album, Let Go, in June of 2002 when she was seventeen. It went quadruple platinum. Her second album, Under My Skin came out in 2004 and The Best Damn Thing in 2007. All three were number one albums in the UK. Goodbye Lullaby came out early 2011, but it did not match the success of its predecessors.
She's made cameo appearances in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the film Going The Distance. She also played Beatrice Bell in The Flock and Alice in Fast Food Nation. In Over the Hedge she voiced Heather.
She also designs the fashion line Abbey Dawn for Kohl's and has one fragrance, Black Star, out and another Forbidden Rose on the way.
Discography:
Albums

Visual releases

Avril Lavigne contains examples of the following tropes:
- Adorkable: Watched her Under My Skin special dvd for all her dorkiness on display.
- Banned In Malaysia: Nearly. For her "influence on youth".
- Be Yourself: the greater message of "Complicated"
- Break Up Song: Under My Skin as an album, particularly My Happy Ending and He Wasn't.
- Canada, Eh?
- Cannot Spit It Out: "Things I'll Never Say"
- The Casanova: "One Of those Girls" is about a female variation on this trope, aimed at a crush.
- Captain Obvious: "He was a boy, and she was a girl" YOU DON'T SAY!
- Lampshaded by the next line: "Can I make it any more obvious?"
- Cloudcuckoolander: "My World"
- Cute Little Fangs: Her famous "vampire teeth", which reportedly made her so self-conscious, she allegedly had them shaved at some point circa-2008.
- Cut Song: Let Go the song doesn't appear in the Let Go album.
- Cover Version: 'Knocking On Heaven's Door', 'Hey Mickey' and 'Bad Reputation'.
- Child Prodigy: She's been singing since the age of 2.
- Development Hell: Her recording company pushed back Goodbye Lullaby by about a year.
- Girliness Upgrade: Starting with The Best Damn Thing, although she claims she was faking the look of her previous albums.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Gets some pretty explicit drug references in the song "Too Much To Ask", unless you really really really pay attention to it and are over the age 17. It sounds like any pissed off at you ignoring me song.
- Green-Eyed Monster
