Canuck Avril Lavigne seems to know a thing or two about Southern hospitality.

During a concert stop in Biloxi, Miss., Monday, Lavigne teamed up with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to give a young fan a taste of the rock-star life.

Not only did Kaylin Giroir, a 14-year-old from Louisiana who has muscular dystrophy, get to make an appearance on the red carpet before Lavigne’s concert, but she also got a Fender guitar signed by the musician.

Kaylin spent private one-on-one time with Lavigne in her dressing room before she and some family members were escorted to their VIP seats.
