Pop-Punk Star's Fans 'Need a Country Album' After 'Breathtaking' The Chicks Coveroriginally appeared onParade. Avril Lavignemay be the "motherf--king princess" of pop-punk, but her choice in cover during the Jacksonville, Fla., stop of her Greatest Hits Tour on June 23 has fans itching for a country album. The "Keep Holding On" songstress has been mixing things up on the sold-out trek across North America, alternating between covers and throwbacks of her own during a brief acoustic set. Most recently, she played "one of [her] favorite bands"The Chicks' "Wide Open Spaces," and fans think it's high time for another genre shift for the artist who already has seven albums under her belt spanning pop, punk and rock. A fan namedAshleyuploaded a video of Lavigne's "breathtaking" cover to TikTokfollowing the show, including the introduction where Lavigne, 40, revealed that she once covered the same song while performing during one of her high school assemblies.
