Avril Lavigne says Britney Spears inspires her

Avril Lavigne says Britney Spears inspires her.

The Canadian rocker says her mother took her to see a Britney Spears concert when she was younger in preparation for her own launch into the music world.

She told Jane magazine: “My mom made me go to a Britney Spears concert when I was young. I was like ‘No, I don’t want to.’

“She was like ‘If you’re going to be a performer, you need to see other people.’ ”

The singer-and-actress recently revealed she opted for a traditional wedding over a gothic ceremony because it was her childhood dream.
