During CMA Fest 2023, country singer Miranda Lambert pleasantly surprised the crowd by inviting punk rock legend Avril Lavigne to join her for a collaborative performance on stage.
The duo sang Lambert's "Kerosene" and Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi."
Lambert introduced Lavigne to the crowd, referring to her as her new bestie. Both artists wore black outfits with pink accents as they rocked the stage.
They also performed "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)" with
Elle King and their duet "If You Were Mine" with Leon Bridges. CMA Fest,
celebrating its 50th anniversary, featured many other country music stars
across various venues in Nashville.
The event was hosted by

showcasing the festival, is scheduled to air on July 19.
