It was during this concert that the two artists had a chance to meet and talk. This meeting clearly meant the world to Billie, who later shared a snap from the&nbsp;encounter&nbsp;and wrote, &#8220;Thank you for making me what I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, from what the &#8220;Sk8er Boi&#8221; rocker exclusively dished to Scott, it&#8217;s clear that Avril is equally a fan of Billie&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her performance was amazing, she was super sweet and she said a lot of kind things about me in her interviews, that she listened to my music and stuff growing up, so it was really cool meeting her,&#8221; the 35-year-old singer-songwriter relayed. &#8220;She&#8217;s awesome, she&#8217;s super talented, she&#8217;s a sweetheart.

Her mom made a cake and it was sweet\u2014no pun intended,&#8221; Avril shared. &#8220;There was just like a pi\u00f1ata and games, just like a small group of her friends and family. Just like a bunch of fun arcade games and stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Avril, her own 18th birthday was equally chill as she simply played hockey while in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Following all of this, Avril said she&#8217;s still happily rocking &#8220;dope girl&#8221; Billie&#8217;s merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the love for each other,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"39.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"19\">\n<p>Billie wasn&#8217;t the only person Avril gushed about during her HappE!
