Stevie Nicks moved to tears at Taylor Swift concert

Stevie Nicks moved to tears at Taylor Swift concert

Stevie Nicks was moved to tears during Taylor Swift’s Dublin Eras Tour show after performing a song that reminded her of her friendship with her late Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie.

While the legendary singer was present at the show in the VIP tent over the weekend, Taylor dedicated a dedication to Nicks before performing her song “Clara Bow” by Tortured Poets Department live for the first time.

Taylor mentions Stevie in the lyrics of the song when she sings about how women are compared to each other in the music industry: “You look like Stevie Nicks/ 1975, the hair and the lips/ The crowd go crazy at their fingertips/ Half moonlight, a total eclipse.”

Taylor introduced the song by saying, “I want to play it tonight because a friend of mine is here watching the show.”

In her moving tribute, Taylor praised Stevie’s work for female artists, saying, “She paved the way for us. And she mentored so many artists that you don’t even know she does.”

Taylor sang the song as a mashup with “The Lucky One” from her album “Red” before performing her Midnights track “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” which saw Nicks get emotional.

During one of Nick’s concerts in 2023, she thanked Taylor for writing the song and explained that it reminded her of her Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022.

“That’s the sadness that touches me so much. As long as Chris was there, we didn’t have to talk on the phone, even if we were on the other side of the world. We weren’t really phone buddies. Then when we went back to Fleetwood Mac, came in, it was always: ‘Little sister, how are you?’ It was as if in all our 47 years, not a minute had passed, not a single argument – ever.”

“So when there were two of us, we were always on our own, children,” she continued. “And now I have to learn to be on my own, child, on my own. And you are helping me with that. Thank you.”

We don’t cry, you cry!
