Move over Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears is the queen of awkward

THE internet is abuzz this week with pics of Avril Lavigne’s super-awkward fan meet-and-greets. Hey Avril: Britney did it first.

She’s so lucky, she’s a star — but she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart.

AVRIL Lavigne, Imma let you finish, but Britney Spears has one of the most awkward meet-and-greets of ALL TIME.

The internet was abuzz this week with a series of hilarious pictures circulating from behind the scenes at Avril Lavigne’s latest concert tour.

He was a boy, she was a girl — can I make it any more obvious?

Fans who shelled out almost $400 on top of their concert ticket were ‘treated’ to a super-awkward photo with Lavigne, who invoked a strict ‘No touching’ rule (she’s clearly an Arrested Development fan).

Oh Avril. Why you gotta go and make things so complicated?

The resulting pics were hilariously awkward — but Avril’s no pioneer in this. Can we give it up for the queen of the awkward meet-and-greet, Britney Spears?

Spears offered meet-and-greet packages during her 2011 Femme Fatale Tour, and the resulting pics were so awkward, we’re still chuckling about them three years later.

‘Please don’t touch me’.

‘Someone call security’.

She’s so lucky, she’s a star — but she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart.

This girl will always treasure her snap of Britney Spears in a terry-towelling dressing gown.

Now there’s a smile that says, ‘I’m trapped’.

Oops ... she did it again.

‘Can I go home yet?’

Awkvil Lavigne, take a seat: You’ll never touch Awkney Spears.
