Old pictures of Amanda Kay (AKA Ava Max) surface

[Jordan Miller]

Years-old photos of Ava Max were published on image uploading website Imgur.com. 

Fans suspect the photos were taken around 2007-2008 when she went by Amanda Kay instead (her real name is Amanda Ava Koci). She released her first EP under that name in 2008.

This is significant for several reasons:

1. People think she tried to emulate her look after Lady Gaga. These photos of Ava look nothing like Gaga, but her present-day appearance slightly does. I personally don't think she purposefully tries to look like Gaga, but indeed there are instances where she does.
    
2. People also question her actual age. Some suspect she's in her thirties. According to Google, she's 26-years-old currently, which means she'd be around 13-years-old in the newly-surfaced photos.

People tend to look a lot different in that time span. She went from being a teenager to an adult - of course she's going to look different. I find it odd people are accusing her of lying about her age. However, these images are quite a trip to look at.

It's also worth pointing out that a lot of people claim Max is an industry plant. But as we can see here... she's been trying to break into mainstream music for a decade+.

Thoughts, Exhale?

Why do I only hear about her when it comes to her talking about her looks or others talking about her looks?

Because you see what you want to see. Jordan posts about her music all the time

I refuse to believe that's her. Like, I see some semblance of her in some of the pictures, but other than that, she literally looks like any basic popular girl from any basic American teen movie that bullies people for wearing clothes from Target, and that got a G-Wagon for her 16th birthday.

Okay but now that I really look, I can kind of see it in her smile.

Looks like an American Eagle ad

wow that's trippy but i definitely see that it's her.

She looks way better with this haircut than the weird haircut she has now...I just don't like it and feel like it's trying to hard with the one side short and the other long. Too hard of trying to push a new trend.
