Billie Eilish posted a photo on Instagram of herself posing with her childhood idol Avril Lavigne backstage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles last week.

"THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME WHAT I AM," the 17-year-old superstar wrote in the caption.

Both singers are seen smiling broadly in the picture.

This is not the first time that Eilish has freaked out about Lavigne.

"Avril Lavigne was everything to me, dude," she recently said in a video segment of Pitchfork's "Over/Under."

She gave credit to not only Lavigne, but also a few other artists for making her what she is now.

"Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber I only love [them]. Her, Tyler [The Creator], [Childish] Gambino, and Bieber, to be honest, made me."
