Stevie Nicks attends Taylor Swift’s concert in Dublin

Stevie Nicks received a touching tribute from Taylor Swift when he attended the pop star’s Eras Tour concert in Dublin on Sunday.

During the show, Swift took a moment to acknowledge Nicks, whom she described as a “friend,” before performing her song “Clara Bow,” which mentions the Fleetwood Mac singer by name.

“This one is pretty easy because I’ve never played it live before,” Swift said“The reason I want to play tonight is because I have a friend of mine here who is watching the show and she is really one of the reasons that I or any other artist can do what we can do. She paved the way for us. And she has mentored so many artists that you don’t even know she is doing it.”

“She has befriended so many artists just to be a helping hand. I can’t tell you how rare that is,” she continued. “She’s one of my heroes and also someone I can tell any secret she would never tell anyone else. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”

Swift then sang a mashup of “Clara Bow” and another of her songs, “The Lucky One.” In “Clara Bow,” Swift sings about how women are compared to each other in the music industry, singing, “You look like Stevie Nicks in 1975, the hair and the lips.”

The Tortured Poets Department artist also sang her song “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” which Nicks had previously thanked Swift for writing. At one of Nicks’ concerts in 2023, she said the song reminded her of her Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie, who died in 2022.

“Thank you to Taylor Swift for doing that for me, writing a song called ‘You’re on Your Own, Kid,'” Nicks said at the time. “That’s the sadness I feel. As long as Chris was there, we didn’t have to talk on the phone, even 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, ‘Little sister, how are you?’ It was like 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, kids,” she continued. “And now I have to learn to be on my own, kid, on my own. So you help me with that. Thank you.”

Previously, Nicks and Swift performed a medley of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” and Swift’s “You Belong With Me” together at the 2010 Grammys.
