While Avril Lavigne was shy at first, she later found it easier to perform on stage. The process of being on camera was intimidating for a teenager. She eventually became so comfortable in front of the camera that her local pizzeria named a special dish after her, a pizza named after her. The song “Complicated” reached number one in several countries and received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Single and Song of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards.
