Stevie Nicks received a touching tribute from Taylor Swift while attending the pop stars Eras Tour concert in Dublin on Sunday.

During the show, Swift took a moment to acknowledge Nicks, whom she referred to as a friend, before performing her song, Clara Bow, that name-checks the Fleetwood Mac singer.

This one is a pretty easy one because Ive never played this one live before, Swift said . The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show and who has really been one of the reasons why I or any female artist gets to do what we get to do. Shes paved the way for us. And shes mentored so many artists that you dont even know shes doing it.

Shes just become friends with so many female artists just to be a guiding hand. I cant tell you how rare that is, she continued. Shes a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secret, and shed never tell anybody. Shes really helped me through so much over the years. Im 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 women in the music industry being compared to one another, singing, You look like Stevie Nicks in 75, the hair and lips.

The Tortured Poets Department artist also sang her song, Youre on Your Own, Kid, which Nicks had previously thanked Swift for writing . During 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 this thing for me, and that is writing a song called Youre on Your Own, Kid, Nicks said at the time. That is the sadness of how I feel. As long as Chris was, even on the other side of the world, we didnt have to talk on the phone. We really werent phone buddies. Then we would go back to Fleetwood Mac, and we would walk in and it would be like, Little sister, how are you? It was like never a minute had passed, never an argument in our entire 47 years never.

So, when it was the two of us, the two of us were on our own, kids, we always were, she continued. And now, Im having to learn to be on my own, kid, by myself. So, you help me to do that. Thank you.
