Miranda Lambert brought her country rock energy to the stage at Nashville's Nissan Stadium on Friday, June 9, during CMA Fest, and she invited a few friends to come join her. Of those collaborations was a surprise match up with pop-rock singer, Avril Lavigne.

According to People, Lambert introduced Lavigne by giving her an honorable title: "My new bestie."
"I'm out here to make more badass moments happen right now," she said from the stage. "Will y'all welcome my new bestie, Ms. Avril Lavigne to the stage?"
Lambert flaunted her country style with a black, Western-style shirt and skirt combo with hot pink accents and fringe. Lavigne wore a similar outfit, featuring a black leather jacket with pink accents and matching shorts. The two reportedly launched into Lambert's fiery 2005 single "Kerosene" once Lavigne took the stage, singing half of the song. From there, they dipped into Lavigne's discography, performing a duet rendition of her famous "Sk8er Boi" from 2002.
Social media videos from the night show an electric performance from the women.
Girl power on fire tonight! ? 11 y/o me met 31 year y/o me as Miranda brought Avril Lavigne out to duet on Loves Giving Up on Me and Sk8ter Boi. I remember Avril being one of the first big artists I was real fan of, had all the albums on CD (!) ? #CMAFest pic.twitter.com/ctONGfBfNU
