In fact, the #ABTAcrossAmerica US tour did happen — at outside venues and not the predictable ones for a ballet tour.

Willow Smith Covers Nylon Magazine July by AB+DM in 'Punk Rock Prophet' AOC Fashion
Willow Smith Meets Her Idol Avil Lavigne
Speaking recently with V Magazine, Willow Smith made it clear that she is forging a path for Black women in punk rock and into heavy metal — whatever price she will pay in her cosmic spirit for the journey. Smith was only 2 years old when Avil Lavigne hit the Billboard charts with “Sk8er Boi.” It took another 5-6 years before Willow Smith tuned into Lavigne’s music, a year before the release of her first single ‘Whip My Hair’.
By then, Willow Smith was listening to Avil Lavigne 24/7, the 20-year-old talent tells Nylon. “ . . . [I was] trying to dress like her and trying to just be her, honestly.”
Smith’s dream to connect with her long-time idol bore fruit in June 2021, when the two women connected to make a music video in Los Angeles. It was, says Smith, a “fever dream.” Jones notes that TikTok has decided that Lavigne is cool again — her first post, set to “Sk8er Boi” and co-starring Tony Hawk, has been viewed over 29 million times. Note that Lavigne herself is now really into country music.
Willow Smith’s now-completed album ‘Lately I Feel Everything’ was released on July 16. Read more in AOC Fashion
