Change Apple ID

My daughter has an email that is very dated now that she is older. She wants to change her Apple ID to a new email address. Can she create a new ID and start using it with everything she has with Apple?

If you create/use a new Apple ID, she will lose access to some of her data and the purchases made with her existing Apple ID. I suggest she do a name change on the current ID.
