Avril Lavigne Chopped Off Half Her Hair to Promote a New Song
She's braver than I am.

Avril Lavigne isn't afraid of a drastic makeover.
The singer took to Instagram last week to share a dumbfounding video of fellow musician Yungblud chopping off half her iconic long hair while she sat on a toilet.
In the video, Yungblud takes a pair of scissors and just... cuts??? When Lavigne sees how much of her locks have just left her head, her jaw basically hits the floor, and stays there for a while. But Yungblud is nothing if not thorough, and soon makes sure he evens everything out on the other side.
The "Sk8er Boi" singer captioned the post, "I’m A Mess," prompting fans to speculate that a new song might be in the works.

A day later, Lavigne confirmed those suspicions by posting the cover for her new song with Yungblud, titled "I'm a Mess" (obvs) and due out on Nov. 3. So soon!!! 11-year-old me is reeling!
On the cover, Lavigne is sporting a beautiful new straight bob, which just looks absolutely amazing on her. To be fair, it feels like she might have visited a professional hair stylist to finish off what Yungblud started, but who knows? Maybe he's not just a talented singer.
Whatever happened behind the scenes, the hair transformation was a fab idea.

Commenters were just as excited as I am about it all. One person wrote, "Two Icons." Another said, "WUT A LUCKY BOY." And another wrote, "Wow, you look killer, Avril! Cannot wait for this new song. Could listen to the preview on repeat!!"
