Avril Lavigne wheeled out all of the nostalgia for her first-ever TikTok post.
Lavigne, 36, recreated her classic song "Sk8er Boi" by lip-syncing the lyrics and donning her own famous look from the time of the song's release in 2002. She wore black shorts, a black sleeveless t-shirt, and a striped tie, evoking her grunge look from the original music video.
Lavigne lip-synced the song in front of a stunning ocean view before she reached the chorus, where it cut to Tony Hawk, 53, wearing the same neck-tie.
Hawk then showed off his skills with a skateboard as the chorus played out. Lavigne captioned the video "He was a..." before tagging Hawk himself, who also posted the video to his account of 1.5 million followers.
Lavigne also posted a series of photos of her and Hawk to her Instagram to promote her new TikTok account, which already has over 783,000 followers. Her TikTok with Hawk has over 2.6 million likes.
