Taylor Swift wrapped up her third and final Eras Tour date in Dublin, Ireland, at Aviva Stadium on Sunday, and she debuted The Tortured Poet’s Department’s closing track “Clara Bow” live along with giving it a special dedication to an icon who was also in attendance.
“You don’t even know she’s doing it, she’s just become friends with so many female artists just to be a guiding hand,” Swift said before delivering the song on acoustic guitar. “I can’t tell you how rare that is. She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secrets — she’d never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks. So I’m going to play ‘Clara Bow’ for the first time for her.”
The song pays tribute to Nicks with the line: “You look like Stevie Nicks/In ’75, the hair and lips/Crowd goes wild at her fingertips/Half moonshine, a full eclipse.” During her performance, she mashed up the song with Red’s “The Lucky One.”

I like Nicks. Bought lots of her albums. I’ve never heard Swift. BFD.
That (Tailor-Swift!), would actually be a very clever trade name for a personal tailoring service, but Taylor’s Dad, the banker, would probably sue for copyright infringement.
“Cease & desist, or else!’
puhleeze— this is one cold calculating and lying mega-narcissist with marginal to no talent, except in running a “Big Machine” for profit. See: Toby Keith. When she burns out it will be like a flare.
Yep 4 note samba Stevie and annoying vibrato- whatever. Was her best when it was Buckingham Nicks. Which of course almost no one remembers her much better voice and range then and Lindsey’s finger style (banjo player originally) electric.
Why Mick Fleetwood hired both of them:

Yeah, that’s mainly how I remember her also.
From... 50 years ago- they were very young. And they did Landslide back then well before Mac.
